Dave, very close.  A hint: I fruited this in Tampa and the tree is in the ground and gets no winter protection.

That's the one, Dave.  An animal of sort got to the fruit so I did not get a chance to see if it is of out of hand eating quality, although in an icecream or smoothie it should be fine.  Also the plant has the same medicinal applications as the soursop A. muricata

Limau Purut has outstanding characters which differ from the general group of oranges and lemons. It is small tree 3-5 meters tall. The fruit is pear-shaped, about 10 cm by 5-7.5cm, dark green turning yellow on ripening, and very wrinkled and rough. The fruit is not eaten as a fresh dessert fruit as juice is lacking. It is mainly used as a flavouring in food. It may also be used as a hair shampoo. The leave, about 7.5-10 cm long, are used as a spice in curries. Limau Purut can be planted in big pot as an ornamental. It is propagated from seeds or marcots

134 Not sure, ??? but as a pure guess how about an Antidesma species of some kind.

or most likely a Nance tree, Byrsonima crassifolia...

If not any of these two, I am loss......got no idea.

Please help me and post an Ice Cream Bean?

As you wish

Ice Cream Bean

Inga edulis

a.k.a. Inga-Cipo

Although numerous species are called the ice cream bean, this is the most common species attributed the name. Fruit is a long pod, sometimes a few feet in length, containing a bright-white pulp surrounding several large seeds. Flavor is sweet and resembles vanilla ice cream. Very popular fruit in many parts of Central and South America.

Cool, neato thread guys...I just got an Ice Cream Bean Tree to germinate from a seed I got from Matt in SD.

Here's one that's sweeping the nation.  I'd be surprized if you haven't been visited by a healthfood salesperson selling the juice of this one.

Garcinia mangostana

Please; are you kidding?

Also, the gamboge is more commonly used for those "mangosteen" health juice gimicks.  I posted that one way back in this thread.  Gamboge is usually Garcinia xanthochyma (tinctoria) though some other Garcinia are called by that name.  

I have fruited Garcinia xanthochyma and G. livingstonei  but not G. mangostana BUT I WILL.  Maybe.

Oh, sorry Alan.  Somehow I missed it.  This was the first time I've read this thread so I must have went too fast.  I wouldn't have recognized it uncut too.  ups.

Yeah I saw Arbutus unedo 'Dwarvin King' or something like that yesterday at the JC Raulston Arboretum and it was quite nice. Thanks for the Durian pic and the Starfruit. I saw a Starfruit in bloom in a guys personal collection over the weekend. It was very nice. He also had a fruiting Noni.

Uuuff! They were too easy or you are too good. All correct. They are growing in my property, these are some of the fruits I eat.

#4 mangos

The big one is the largest of my mangos, a N.American selection named Keitt, up to 1 kg each.

The smallest is the smallest of my mangoes. The tree is from seed, it is just one of the many kinds of the local canarian strain named "Gomera". Often small and too fibrous, but hardy to drought, fruit greatly in cool weather and have the strongest flavours.
