I am excited for more exotic fruits! Thanks for the link Jennifer! I will check it out: )I’ll be impressed if they carry pawpaw there. It’s hard to find, at least it is for me, and I’m in an area where it grows wild. I order it online, but when I can buy property near the coast and start my fruit forest, it’s one of the first I’ll be planting. That and pink muscat/muscatel grapes. I had my first muscats this year and I’m in love with that fruit. lol It has this really pretty rosy blush to it and a sweet, light floral taste.
Oh, wonderful! Yes, it’s wild to think such a tropical-like fruit is native to this area. The pawpaws I’ve tried have all been really sweet so they must have been the sweeter varieties—I know that there are a couple that aren’t that sweet. May I ask, have you ever had a jungle durian? If so, did you like it? And do you find you enjoy tropical fruit overall?
Oh, and Rinse, Miami fruit sells a lot of tropicals like the chempejack that thetaflow mentioned:
Chempejack
The seed comes from a locally grown chempajack fruit. This fruit is very rare in a Florida/ mainland United States. We harvest the fruit from one tree. Order chempejack seeds online from miamifruit.orgmiamifruit.org
