The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hi, my name is Bill.   

I live in South Florida (Boynton Beach) after moving from Chicago many years back (via Jacksonville & Tampa, Fl).
I'm currently in Zone 10b, which is far enough south for me as I can grow my favorites without too much trouble.

I have a small home, but already have (too) many  fruit trees in my yard.
Always love trying new fruits - but my current faves are lychees and mangos (currently in season - duh!).
After reading some of the comments on this board, next to try are Jackfruit and Atemoyas.

I've got several producing mango trees (Dot, Hatcher and Hayden).   
I'd love to top-work the Hayden  to give me a better varieity.
Have not started grafting yet, but want to learn from the experts (and it looks like this is the place!)

I've also got a Sweetheart lychee, a pomegranate, Temple Orange, Key Lime, Jaboticaba , blackberries, multiple pineapples, bannanas/plantains.
Not much room for anything else in my yard, but I'm not having much luck with the orange tree, so I may have a spot opening soon    Recommendations are always welcome.

I look forward to learning a lot from this fine group, and hope that I'll be able to contribute as well.
