FGM: Visit to a fruit paradise in Parkland Florida (10 photos)

[FloridaGreenMan]

Today I stopped after work at my friend George's beautiful property in Parkland FL. He has LOTS of impressive fruit trees including 52 jaboticaba trees that produce over 1000lbs (500 kilos) of fruit per year. His Red Sarteneja Custard Apples are to die for. Some reach 4lbs each. I brought home 3 that weighed over 7 lbs. His Lychee crop is small this year but he has an abundance of mangos with over 15 cultivars. He also has fruiting Abiu Atemoya, Guanabana, sugar apples and many more. He also has many large Jakfruits and they produce a BIG crop as big as 63lbs each. Quite a place....

George sells most of his Jabos to the local Brazilians. They line up to buy them!!! He usually sells every one

[Tropheus76]

He has all that on just an acre? I am doing something wrong...

[HMHausman]

I have never been to George's house but it was my understanding that he has about an acre or more planted out and his total property was something about the size of mine......about 2.5 acres.  I could be all wrong, but that was my impression.
