The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hello,
I’ve been collecting for a few years now and recently adopted an eclectus parrot and a conure. I I’m finding there’s no info on the web as to whether or not some of these rare fruits are safe to share with them. Here’s what I have and I’m wondering if anyone here has any info on

Peanut butter fruit
Pitomba, Eugenia luschnathiana
Achacha
Jaboticaba
Soursop
Sugar or custard apples
Jamaican cherry, muntingia…I see cardinals eating these all the time
CORG
Persimmons
Black spots
Sapodilla
Surinam cherry
Too many other Eugenia’s to list and they are years away from fruiting
Phalsa
Canistel
Grumichama

Also happy to hear recommendations for stuff you they might like. I saw carrot wood trees are native food but don’t think I can plant it.

Anyone having success with these in Florida?

Anyone know what this is? I found it growing in a friends yard on the east coast of central Florida. The flowers look like Eugenia flowers and the bark very similar to jaboticaba or crape myryle.

I have several java plums… this one keeps pumping out unusual looking leaves. Just thought it was neat.

They have a bunch at the Lowes in Palm Bay. I think they were under $15

I have a few strawberry trees that do the trick quite well. They fruit all year long and in an abundance that keeps the squirrels occupied. Thinning the squirrels out via trap or other means works well too.
