1) mango (lemon zest, coco cream, ice cream, Carrie, I digress...)
2) lychee
3) cherimoya
4) Bangkok lemon jackfruit
5) this type of peach that is flat like a doughnut with white flesh and super sweet, I find myself driving way out of my way to be ripped off by the fresh market for them, think their name is "flying saucer peach"

Honorable mention: Sierra fig

Was it this peach? I also love them but you have to let them become ripe on the counter. They also sell the nectarine version of it, also great.

In Holland they are called Wild Peach.

there's a low chill uf cultivar that's flat like that that they call ufo

I received tekum (j33) seeds from tropical 66 from Malaysia over 2 and a half years ago.One fruited on a friend's farm and he is the fellow who has the amber jackfruit.Tourist who sampled it,amber and other good types rated it as excellent but still  ranked amber as their favourite.I wonder if the seedling is not quite identical to its parent and if the fruit will get even better with age.

I have posted large maprangs a number of times.

Similar experience here. I had one 3-4' high in a 15 gallon pot. When I removed it, it was so root-bound that the roots had basically formed their own 'pot' and the rootball just slid out of the pot with no dirt spilling. It was crazy.

By the way, muntingia calabura also sends out far-reaching shallow roots which can get very thick very quickly.

I have the problem of excess of production on my lemon trees too. But they are a couple of old plant grown from my grandpa who died 20 years ago, so they have a sentimental value. But man, when I fill a couple of box of lemon, then i wonder myself: "what i should do with them?" My climate (or maybe is their variety? Or the fact they are grown in pot?) doesn’t allow them to become "sweet" enough to produce a good lemonade either. So either i consume them quickly or they rot. Recently i have had limited success putting them under salt. They do become a nice addiction to chicken or cold salads in summer.

I enjoy Borassus aethiopum in Senegal from Thies Department all the way into the Gambia, East & West Africa.  Palm wines were delicious & knocked our asses; and our team of Merc black ops nearly got court martial for distilling it during the many R& R through the conflicts zones in the 1990's.  Moonshine from it makes the daily night fire fight more exciting.  I recalled one night the Rebels were just as drunk as us on toddy palm shine and & shot tracers at Us.  We dial in at 2,200 yards & send a few bud lights down & my spotter saw an explosion from the Rebels moonshine distillery torching a bunch of grouchy campers from their happiness.  Their sources of arm funding were fermented into the no moon night.

Next morning we visited the abandoned base, the armour they were using were cure toddy palm wood surrounding the still like fish scale tiles.  Once cure this west African toddy palm is heavy & sink in water and stronger than steel; you can actually see were my .50 round just deflected off, amazing wood.  Thank God I had a new Leupold mounted to make it through their snipers hole. Termite proof and the local Sereer tribe on the coast used them for making bow & the harden wood beleivable or not; they make arrow head out if it. 

The dried gelatin fruit seeds pounded were excellent mix when I made Pemmican with wild games, this were our bush MRE in many jungle campaigns.  If the gellatin seeds were too old they were too rubbery and not that tasty. We also enjoyed the very young fruit barely gelatinize inside, the young fruit pith inside were sweet nutty like coconut palms heart.  We try distillateling  the ripe toddy fruit, the ripe yellowish pith generate a strong liquor that have a smell of a Hippopotamus fart and diesel; but the flavors were remarkably intune with a Remi Martin XXO but fruity Landolphia  sharpness that kind of made your vision smart at first.  Your Toddy Palm make an excellent landscape plant for those with adequate space, some tree we climbed were 60-70 feet tall.  If you can't get the Asian try the African toddy; personaly as a landscape plant they are in my not so humble opinions must nicer & possibly more African Locusts attack resistant for your GreenHouse Radoslav!😄🌴🏡
