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.
