Mamey (Pantin), sapodilla (seedling), cacao and canistel (improved seedling) are right ;)

*The plant is labeled as A. marcgravii. Is has big differences compared to A. montana, so at the research station they think it is a different sp.

Felipe,
Nice looking Kasturi (mangifera kasturi/casturi - the dark fruit bottom right).  I have several seedling that I am experimenting as rootstock.
I eat tons of kasturi that come from a  friend that lives nearby.  The taste is incredibly strong and delicious!

Felipe is the one above a kuini (mangifera odorata), also known as durian mango?
I did not let my tree bears fruit this year.  I removed a bunch of little fruits.  Next year, show time!

Very good, Berto ;) The dark fruit is Mangifera kasturi, which I also really like...

The fruit next to the kasturi is M. laurina. This one is also very tasty and aromatic.

The last missing fruit is Passiflora alata :)
