Root Simple reader Noel Ramos sent the picture above of some local fruit grown in Florida to remind us that winter gardening is big there too. Noel grows over 500lbs of fruit and veggies every year on a quarter acre city lot. In the picture:
Canistel, Rollinia, red navels, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Carambola, pineapple, sapodilla, sugar apple, dwarf Cavendish bananas, ambarella, jaboticaba, jackfruit flowers, papaya, lemon and red palm fruits (inedible).
Amazing.

Beautiful! I had the most delicious slice of a mystery (to me) tropical fruit in Bradenton, FL, 13 years ago–at a catered event at a hotel. I have never been able to find out or figure out what it was. I am still looking…
So what’s the orange tear-drop shaped thing shown cut with the fat brown seeds?
I’m in awe.

I would like to know your secrets and where in Florida do you produce this incredible display of fruit.
