Sapodillas are some of my favorites. Have 4 of those trees growing in my home in Central Florida. Ate quite a few this year. It's like eating brown sugar in fruit form.
+olucky11 Thanks. I used to live in Tennessee. I grew Jerusalem artichokes, various apples and pears, big fat blackberries, gooseberries, horseradish... it was fun. There's really nothing like the tropics, though.
David 3 years ago when I saw this I posted here "That was wonderful, hope I get to go there one day and take the tour" WELL that day is coming this May 2024. I will be going there to south Florida and staying for 5 days. So excited to get to go to the Fruit and Spice Park. Plan to also visit the Everglades and Little Havana. Anything else that is a MUST DO in that area?
@@davidthegood Made my May trip and visited the park. It was fun. We had a private tour because they were setting up for the "Orchard Festival" . Got to try lots of different and unusual fruits and see things I had only seen on your videos like Jackfruit hanging in trees, tamarind on trees, and sapote. I looked for the place where you opened your video standing under the arch of black pepper. Couldn't find it so I asked our guide and told him about you. The guide said they had to take that plant down because it wasn't actually black pepper but something else that could cause hallucinations. Thought you might find that tidbit interesting. My biggest take away from my trip to south Florida is something you have said over and over again....grow what fits your climate. It made so much sense to me when I noticed about every other house had a mango tree with fruit hanging or some type of coconut or date tree and a fruit that was green with bumpy little horn like protrusions, or an avocado tree. Heard you say it so many times, but I could really take it in when I saw the difference and how easily they grew fruits I have been unsuccessful at. Please keep teaching us and thank you!
