I did not look at this topic in a while, I know tropical fruits quite well .....

If you got anymore I will try my hand at it....

[Zac in NC]

Oh yeah, I saw Rambutan at the local upscale-ish grocery store over the weekend. Kinda neat.

Zac

Well one is a Pineapple, another looks like tamarillo( also saw them at the local store). A Buddha's Hand Citron, and looks like another Passiflora on tha last one.

Dave's pics, Buddha's Hand, Giant Granadilla

Zac, no tamarillo.  I grew all the fruit in that picture and tamarillo is a pain here.

Alan and Dave, thanks for the great lessons!

Thanks I had no name on the first one, and the second one is correct.

That looks sorta like Coralberry, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, but not sure. Its Temperate, so it wouldn't belong in the Tropical fruit thread really.

Zac

[Dave Butler]

Correct, Had to throw that one in

[Dave Butler]

[Zac in NC]

Salacca zalacca I believe.  I went outside to look at my Coralberry with a flashlight after I posted. It did make me think about the plant a bit closer. This is fun!!!!!!!!

Correct, #99 custard apple

[Zac in NC]

You know, I thought that looked like an Annona but I didn't want to look a fool. So I take it that isn't a Phyllanthus?  I have seen the Indian Gooseberry Phyllanthus in South Texas before.

#104 is Bouea macrophylla, or Marion Plum

#105 Looks like a Akee or a cherry, Don`t know

#106 is Limau Purut

[chris78]

104 looks like a mango ???

105 Malay apple......Syzygium malaccense

106 Guava.......Psidium

[Zac in NC]

103 looks like Torreya.

And the last one is a Guava.

Zac

[chris78]

103 looks like an Podocarpus sp of some kind ???

[Zac in NC]

No Podocarps have an unusual fruit shape, almost like a Cashew. Thats a Torreya, which have Nutmeg shaped fruits. Well I say fruits, but they are actually cones.

Zac

[Zac in NC]

But I could be wrong. It could be a Podocarpus maybe. Its definitely a Conifer though.

Zac

[Dave Butler]

The answer to #103

[Zac in NC]

You are another of the many Annonas. And weird, I can see why that was split out of Podocarpus. since the fruit is different from most.

Zac

[Alan_Tampa]

That last annona is cherimoya. #114
