Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mamey and Jackfruits - cold tolerant varieties for zone 10a

« on: April 29, 2012, 10:44:14 AM »

I'm curious about any opinions as to which varieties of Mameys or Jackfruits might survive in a location that is barely in zone 10a in Osprey, FL (1/4 mile from Intracoastal waterway). It is between Sarasota and Venice, FL.

I have been considering Mai 1 Jackfruit. Or would Black Gold be more realistic?

I have also been considering Pace and Viejo Mamey Sapotes.

Any thoughts?

Seadation - I wish I could do mangoes. But unfortunately just touching the leaves or sap makes me suffer a PoisOn ivy type skin reaction for about 6 weeks. Jaks probably wouldn't do well this far
North and they're not my favorite. A guy who lives nearby has a Jak tree and it keeps getting damaged down to close to the stump whenever it goes below freezing

Rob - picture a small corner lot in a deed restricted community. All that is
Left is perimeter. Plus dense orchard
Type planting wouldn't fly with the
Community

Jeff - thanks. I had no idea the gefner
Got that big.
