Hello fruit lovers!

Does anyone have info on mangifera mempalam? I have 2 fruits, which are ripening, and planning on growing out the seeds. Was wondering if anyone has info on this species, fruit, etc. Thanks.

Found this fruiting in the back, and not sure what it is. Thought it was pitomba. Pretty sure it is a Eugenia, but who knows. Please share your best guesses.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Name That Solanum! ...please
« on: March 10, 2022, 08:23:31 PM »
Hello everyone. Let's play the Name That Solanum Game. 1st one to accurately identify this plant wins seeds of this interesting plant, when it fruits. Looks like that shouldn't be too long of a wait.







The fruit is supposed to be tasty.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Trying to ID Cuban Fruit From Description
« on: February 20, 2022, 02:32:43 PM »
Hello

My mother-in-law is from Cuba, and has spoke very fondly of a fruit that no one has yet to identify to her. She recalls fruit from childhood in Cuba, 1950's and 60's.

Description:

Fruit are roundish, around grapefruit size, and can be purple or green. She does not recall any latex. Fruit was mostly flesh, juicy. Not much info on seeds. She recalls the fruit as being very sweet and tasty.

Any ideas as to what this could be?

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Passiflora Laurifolia Pair for Sale
« on: August 22, 2021, 01:33:31 PM »
Local pickup only, South Miami area. PM if interested.

$40 for a pair of p. laurifolia plants. 14 inches and 11 inches tall, roughly. Seedlings, different genetics. Despite what some others have stated, you need 2 plants for fruit in my experience. Flowers are beautiful and mildly fragrant. Fruit is delicious, complex, more delicate and less sweet than regular passion fruit, no sour. Even when mixed with regular passion fruit, you can discern the unique flavor. I like it a lot, and will continue growing several plants.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Best Fruit Trees for Yard on Canal with Iguanas
« on: September 19, 2020, 09:46:03 AM »
Good morning all.

Have a friend who lives on a canal. Wants to put in some fruit trees, but the iguanas are prolific.

What fruit trees are least likely to be bothered? How might a mangoes fare?

Not sure what measures he is willing to take, so interested in fruits iguanas would be least interested in. Also, ornamentals.

Apologies if this question has already been answered. Searched...
