    Could be handy to give your teenage kids to ensure they actually go to be when you ask them to. I might have to get one.....

    So far my favourite exotics Ive tried are Rollinia, Sour Sop,Jaboticaba.
    Chocolate sapote was great served cold as a desert
    Tried a few that just taste like caramel (mamay sapote, ) it might be ok served cold??
    not a fan of any of the lychee types dont hate them just dont have the land for things Im not in love with
    or custard apples as they are too sweet (still dont mind one or two a year).
    Not a great fan of Brazilian Cherry but like Barbados Cherry ,cant wait for the first fruit from my Grumichama and will definitely plant out a few Cherry De Rio Grande.
    I dont really have a sweet tooth I like my fruit to have a tang.
    Being an ex Melbourne Boy moved to the sub tropics ,I still prefer Cherries, Peaches, Nectarines, Citrus, Apricots, Plums,Figs and Grapes over Mangos
    The only ones that dont grow here are the Apricots and Cherries

    Have heard great things about Grumichama. Only have one bad report from those I've found who have sapotes. Looking at their trees though I'd say they are too shaded for their climate and perhaps the fruit doesn't mature properly.

    I like the climate further up north but I wouldhave trouble leaving behind stone fruit, brambles and pommes.
