Mona Lisa

FHIA-02

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A dessert banana with an apple-sweet flavor, bred as a disease-resistant hybrid rather than a grocery Cavendish.

Ice Cream

Blue Java

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Ripe fruit is soft, very sweet, and vanilla-scented — the ice-cream name is the flavor, not just a story.

Cuban Red

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Sweet red-skinned fruit with a light berry note when the flesh is soft. The color in the skin is the tell.

Burro

Orinoco

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Chunky, blunt fruit. Ripe it is tangy, somewhere between lemon and apple. Underripe it is starchy, more like a plantain.

Double Mahoi

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A compact Hawaiian dessert type with a sweet, apple-leaning banana flavor.

Dwarf Cavendish

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The familiar sweet grocery-banana flavor, on a short plant you can net or cover.

Super Hass

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A Hass-type avocado: smaller than a Florida pear, with richer, nuttier flesh and that pebbly dark skin when ripe.

Hass

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The classic nutty avocado. Skin darkens and pebbles as it ripens. Oil is higher than in the big Florida types.

Tonnage

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A productive Florida avocado with large green fruit and mild, creamy flesh. Less oily than Hass.

Catalina

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Large oval Florida fruit, smooth green skin, light buttery flesh. A slicing avocado more than a rich Hass.

Russell

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Famous in Florida for huge pear-shaped fruit and mild, smooth flesh. One fruit can be a salad.

Choquette

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The reliable Southwest Florida backyard avocado: large, round, green, mild, and buttery.

Pollock

Pickup or delivery in Florida

An early West Indian avocado. Very large, watery-mild, and good with salt and lime rather than as a rich Hass.

Beta

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A compact Florida avocado with good, mild flesh and a tree that fits a smaller lot better than Russell or Pollock.

Oro Negro

formerly Palo Negro

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A dark-skinned avocado from our bench, richer looking than the big green Florida pears. Ask what last year's fruit tasted like — this is our selection, not a supermarket clone.

Winter Mexican

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Smaller fruit than a Florida pear, with higher oil and a nuttier bite. The Mexican race is the cold-hardy side of avocado.

Simmons

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A Florida avocado with solid, mild flesh. People who grow it keep it for the late fruit more than for a Hass-style flavor.

Glenn

Pickup or delivery in Florida

One of the best Florida mangoes to eat out of hand: fiberless, coconut-sweet, and aromatic.

Tommy Atkins

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The commercial red mango: mild, reliable, and a bit fibrous. Pretty fruit, not our most thrilling eater.

Valencia Pride

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Large, colorful fruit with good sweet flavor and modest fiber. A show mango as much as an eating mango.

Shirley

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Small-tree mango with fiberless, sweet fruit. Quality is high when you can keep the bloom dry.

Carrie

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Fiberless, very sweet, with a coconut aroma people recognize across the yard. One of the best eating mangoes we pot.

Haden

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The old Florida mango. Aromatic, beautiful red and yellow, with some fiber and a classic resinous perfume.

Mallika

Pickup or delivery in Florida

An Indian dessert mango: intensely sweet, lush, and low on fiber. Different from the Florida resin types, in a good way.

Kesar

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Indian dessert type with a saffron-apricot sweetness. The name means saffron. Fiber is low when the fruit is ripe.

Orange Sherbet

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A Florida specialty mango with a bright, sorbet-like sweetness and low fiber. It tastes like the name when the crop is good.

Cac

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Another local selection. We sell it because the fruit earned a place on the bench, not because it has a national brand.

Lisa atemoya

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Sweet custard flesh you eat with a spoon. Lisa tends to come a little later and is one of the cleaner eating atemoyas.

Gefner atemoya

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The atemoya most Florida growers trust: sweet, custardy, with the usual black seeds. Gefner sets more reliably here than many annonas.

Ilama

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Annona diversifolia, not an atemoya. The flesh is sherbet-sweet, pink or white depending on the seedling line, with a delicate perfume.

Cherimoya, red

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Classic cherimoya custard — banana, pineapple, and cream — with red-tinted flesh. Gorgeous when it succeeds.

Cherimoya, white

Pickup or delivery in Florida

White-fleshed cherimoya, the textbook custard fruit. Sweet, melting, and full of seeds.

Emperor lychee

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Large lychee with a small seed and perfumed, grape-like flesh. This is the premium pot on the list, priced above a normal 15-gallon.

Brewster lychee

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The Florida standard lychee: fragrant, sweet, and worth growing even when the seed is larger than an Emperor's.

Mauritius lychee

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Earlier lychee, good quality, slightly more dependable about flowering in a marginal winter than some later kinds.

Kohala longan

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Sweet, musky, and grape-like, in a thinner shell than lychee. Longan is often the more regular bearer in Florida.

White guava

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Highly aromatic white flesh, sweet when fully ripe, with the musky perfume people either love or aim at the neighbor's yard.

Ruby Red / Ruby Supreme

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Pink to ruby flesh, sweet, and still fragrant. This is the guava people expect when they say they want guava.

Lemon guava

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Tart-sweet, more lemon than candy. Good for drinks and jelly as well as eating out of hand if you like a bright fruit.

Thai Red guava

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Crisp flesh you can eat green, like an apple, or wait until it sweetens. Less musky than a soft white guava.

Sapodilla ‘Morena’

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A football-shaped sapodilla. The flesh is smooth, brownish red to caramel, and very sweet when fully soft. It is not a salmon mamey.

Sapodilla ‘Malik’

Pickup or delivery in Florida

An egg-shaped sapodilla with dusty tan skin and sweet caramel-brown flesh. Eat it soft. It is not a mamey.

Black sapote ‘Wilson’

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The chocolate pudding fruit. Fully soft flesh is mild, cocoa-brown, and sweet enough to eat with a spoon or blend.

Black sapote ‘Matt Snow’

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Another chocolate-pudding sapote. Matt Snow is the bench name on this pot — a selected black sapote, same eating style as Wilson.

Black Gold jackfruit

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Deep orange, sweet pods with less of the wild rubbery note some seedling jackfruit have. Eat the pods fresh. The seeds boil like a chestnut.

Jaboticaba

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Grape-like fruit that sprouts right on the trunk. The pulp is sweet. The skin is tannic — spit it, or dry it for tea.

LSU Purple fig

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Sweet, berry-honey flesh and a closed eye, which matters in a humid climate because fruit flies and souring get in through an open eye.

Peach

Pickup or delivery in Florida

A low-chill peach for a warm climate: smaller and sharper than a grocery shipper, juicy if the cultivar matches our winter.

Barbados cherry

acerola

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Tart-sweet cherry-like fruit, famously high in vitamin C. Best fresh, in drinks, or cooked down. Soft fruit does not keep.

Ice cream bean

Inga

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The pod is not ice cream. The white cotton around the seeds is sweet, vanilla-ish, and eaten fresh. You do not eat the seeds casually.

Star apple

caimito

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Sweet, jelly-like flesh in a star pattern, mild and milky. Unripe fruit is gummy with latex. Fully ripe fruit is the whole point.

Sweet tamarind

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Sweet-tart brown paste in a brittle pod. This is a sweet selection, so it eats as a snack more kindly than a sour cooking tamarind.

Ciruela, yellow

Spanish plum

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Small yellow Spanish plums, sweet-tart, eaten fresh when the skin gives. The flavor is brighter than a grocery plum and lower in sugar than a mango.

Jujube

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Crisp and apple-like when fresh, date-like when it dries on the tree. A completely different plant from the tropicals around it.

Passionfruit

Pickup or delivery in Florida

Tart, aromatic pulp around crunchy seeds. Yellow types handle Naples heat better than purple. The tag tells you which vine this pot is.

Ají cachucha

ají dulce

Pickup or delivery in Florida

The Cuban cooking pepper. Fruity and aromatic, with little or no heat. It is for sofrito, beans, and sauces, not for a hot salsa.
