I am coming from the other climate extreme,
Almost giving up on figs, feijoa and mulberry, to hot and rainy here, haven't got much decent fruit out of em. Never any feijoa.
Tamarillo have always failed for us here.
tropo, that's sounds likely fungus covering your Psidium littoralis, littoralis points toward it being native towards the beach where there's more wind and less fertile for fungus to proliferate. Could also be a caterpillar.
tropo, is it the black hard inside the soursop that worries you? I know that could have some of the alkaloids.
SHV,
thanks won't try any Capulin cherry.

"Malay Apple - 8 years no fruit"
Same here it's 8 years and no fruit or flower, girth is like 20cm and it's about 8m tall. Starting to take out some laterals to make it less crowded, but idk they probably have to get big before they flower. Fruit is worth it though! Bill Whitman's Malay where huge too.
Seriously, Abiu, one of the best fruits and fruits really early, and if the tree is strong with not to much fruit on there's no fruit fly issue.
HI,
I'v got the same experience with carob, they don't survive! Really wet here too.
FM,
did you try the ruby supreme? Did that one get flies?
chro,
IDK what feet smell like where you live but here papaya taste and smell great. Maybe you can try a different variety.
Solo, red lady, krang etc.
