It’s getting to be winter or summer, so what’s ripening where you live? I have serious jackfruit production right now.

    Other than jackfruit, I have various year-round fruits in abundance right now (banana, papaya, capsicum, little sour things), some fruits from Jim West bearing out of season (Patinoa almirajo, Annona scleroderma liebmanniana, various others), and arazá (Eugenia stipitata). I received three arazá plants as a gift, and two of them fruit more or less continuously, but the largest fruited a bit last year and nothing at all this year, even after being pruned. Strange.

    EDIT: Many other things too. I use Inga edulis mainly for biomass/mulch, but I let some of the trees grow up to produce fruit, and those are starting. Ananás come and go. Still waiting to see what the safou (Dacryodes edulis) trees do, if anything… I’m also beginning to suspect that Canarium schweinfurthii is not worth planting for the fruit, but that’s another topic…

      That’s an amazing selection you’ve got! I’d love to try azara one day.

      Would be really cool to see a few pictures of your setup sometime, if you’re open to sharing :).
