Ross Sapote
Red Jaboticaba
Miracle Berry
Pitangatuba
Blue Jaboticaba
lemon drop mangosteen

I think I may have an unfair advantage.

That's a pretty great spread!

Interesting,

Between low light requirements and precocity you may have a super tree on your hands! I hope the fruit is good!
 I'll stay tuned.

Wow I had the chance to try a Ross today (Thanks Adam) They are fantastic! Thick, custardy, almost like a spiced cheesecake. I had never considered growing one of these until today, but I will be adding one of these to my collection.

Get a white! they are a little different is size and shape but the fruit is pretty fantastic and because it stays green when ripe you will not have to battle with the birds who are after your fruit.

Really you can't go wrong with anything from FFF.

How is the fruit on this tree? I haven't found much in the way of reviews, and from what I have found it looks like the fruit is not the best for eating. What if anything would you compare it to?

Thanks for the info!

You also forgot to mention the satisfaction of knowing you coaxed a seed out of it's shell and watched it come to life.

This is the White Jaboticaba seeds Myrciaria aureana I got from you. Thanks for all the info!

Adam Speaks the truth! These are pretty fantastic fruit! Sweet, tart. I think they have a taste and texture similar to a peach, not quite as sweet but definitely worth a taste, and worth growing! Thanks again for the tour and that tastes!

I'll keep you posted on the grafted Rollinia I got from you.

Hello,

I'm John. I work in higher education and my container grown plants are slowly taking over the balcony. Central FL. I'm interested in Fruits, delicious fruits. I'm always looking to try my hand at growing something new as well as permaculture experiments on a micro scale. Always interested in learning.

Fresh field Farms on Michigan usually has decent mangos. They almost always have at least one variety.
