A good friend of mine moved to Hawaii a few years ago and ate a fruit and planted the seed. The seed sprouted but she doesn’t know what fruit it came from. Does anyone know what kind of fruit tree this is. Please see attached pictures of the seedling and the seed. Thanks in advance!

Figs... Damn bees bite through unripe figs tunneling into the barely sweet interior, followed by ants. The figs sour before they even ripen. Then the fig beetles follow. The local beeshop doesn't believe me that the bees eat the figs but I've got pictures.
Here's some photos of the best of my small collection.
I protect the one in the ground with a wire cage filled with dry leaves and then wrapped in plastic sheeting.
The newly purchased tree shows its label but all I can read is Yamamomo without any cultivar or variety name.
There was an addition ribbon tag put on by the friend that brought it to me with the hand written name 'Zulko'
I grew up in Japan and that is not a Japanese word.
just use grass clippings or horse manure
I don’t find posts like this helpful, if a person is coming to this board they will generally have basic knowledge like this. I asked for a source, as in, a place I can go to get some volume of what I need, I am not asking for methods of making my own.
So which are you planning to get? Sugar Loaf and why? I'm having similar dilemmas picking out here in hawaii. Thanks!
if I didn't get sugar loaf I would've gotten an m-4
sugar loaf seems to be spreading and fairly disease resistant like a honey kiss, plus it's a green mango which will deter thieves a bit
Does sugar loaf tree produces lots of fruit in South Florida?
At least its a tree that seems to take care of itself. I enjoy the fruit from it too. I've heard of another tropical raspberry that is supposed to grow good in FL but I have yet to find it.
