Besides the Vaccinium and Rubus mentioned above, I've been curious to try lama (Diospyros hillebrandii), a persimmon relative. My notes read "Sweet but scant fruit pulp.  Maybe fun to select for more pulp?"

Mamaki (Pipturus albidus) has edible inoffensive fruit, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it.

I’ve tried it. The amount of edible flesh is almost nothing. Also astringent

Gonzo:
Tropical Almond (Terminalia Catappa), could be considered native to Hawaii, since it got there by floating on the ocean currents. Not exactly a fruit but edible.

Vegan Potato Man:
Lama aka Diospyros sandwicensis

small fruit and mostly seed but doesn't taste too bad when I had it.

Pretty tree
