Actually from upstate NY, but recently bought 80 acres in northwest Ecuador. Altitude 1400 meters (4600 feet) cloud forest conditions. The property is a mix of primary forest, secondary growth, a bit of pasture. Plenty of room around the house to plant lots of fruit trees.
Currently there are a few trees, mandarins, bananas, yellow dragonfruit etc.
Neighbors are growing naranjilla, plantains, sugar cane (for their stills) and coffee.
Also there is a lot of forest.
I have lots of fruit trees here in NY, but totally new to the tropical thing.
Going to visit this place next month to buy some trees.

Hoping to meet other people who are in Ecuador on here
