What fruits are hitting the stands so far this season?
« on: May 22, 2016, 03:01:38 PM »
Wondering if any of the Florida fruit stands are offering this season's fruits yet?  Mangoes, avocados or otherwise?

Fruitscapes (near you) had passion fruit, sapodilla, sugar cane and coconuts. No mangoes yet, getting closer

Slightly off topic but does anyone know when Walter (Zills mangos) will be open for fruit sales?
Or any of the premium Mango sellers

Yeah 3 to 4 weeks likely. Nam Doc Mai will be first or one of the first available there. Also the farmers market on Tuesdays at Surfside plaza in Cape Coral - Michael Wallace of Pine Island Botanicals is there every tuesday with his locally grown fruits for sale. He'll have good mangoes available soon as well - lemon meringue (PPK), NDM x Baileys Marvel, Cac, VP, etc.

When do local Florida avocadoes hit the stands?  Would like to try some different varieties this year as taste tests.

My parents, who live on the beach on the west coast of Florida (just south of Venice), have already got quite a few rosigold.

My rosigold have at least 3 weeks to go and at this rate will probably ripen after Glenn or angie.
