Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: i dont understand why passion fruit is not more popular

When I was in Cancun, I remember the resort I stayed at had them and they were awesome. No one else seemed to be eating them.

I'm "franktank232" from the other board...

I'm in southwest WI and grow a wide range of fruit trees such as: peaches, pluots, plums, sweet cherries, pears, apples, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, apricots... Someday I hope to grow and fruit a mango (in a container) up here.

If the tree is dormant, you can do almost anything you want to it. I transplanted some very large sweet cherries in late fall one year and the next year they still flowered/fruited, although yield was very low. I have Lapins, Stella, Kristin and Black Gold.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: my fruit activities during this non-fruit trip to FL

« on: January 27, 2012, 11:38:30 AM »

I went there during January a few years back. Not much was ripe if I remember correctly. Neat place to wander around. I'd like to go back during summer or whenever more fruits were ripe.

Nice warm day in Miami...lucky!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Top 5 favorite fruits (including non tropicals)

« on: January 27, 2012, 11:32:57 AM »

1. Flavor king pluot
2. White peaches
3. Honeycrisp apple (best ever)
4. Mango (ataulfo)-I've only had a small variety of mangoes
5. Bartlett Pear (must be perfectly ripened)

Honorable mention would be Moro (blood) oranges, avocados and Galia melons.

I really have had little contact with fresh tropical fruits, only canned/frozen...so obviously if I spent a year in Thailand I would probably have a vastly different list.
