Several different varieties of lillipillies including jambos
Common papaws, round orangy coloured ones and long orange ones
Lady finger bananas (2 big bunches have just ripened up at once - bananas everywhere!)
Mangos (when the horse stops eating them :( )
Jaboticaba
Grumichama
Orange - has its first 4 fruit on it (get lemons and limes from a neighbour)
Guavas (growing wild in paddock)
Passionfruit
Monstera
Strawberries

Not all are tropical obviously.

Most trees are still only small and we are slowly buying more. Used to have cape gooseberry but something kept eating them and must get a loquat as loved them when I was a kid.

Not much on our block, we have terrible soil especially down the back where all the Sun is, I have planted different trees some have died ( waterlogged when we have these huge downpours ) others like Honey Murcott mandarine I pulled out as all they grew were little orange bullets. I replaced it with a Tropical Sundowner Nectarine and that will get pulled out next year too if the fruit have fruit fly in them again and two of the best Mango trees only small but each tree gave us four mango's which we ate two weeks ago.. Gosh I almost forgot the pineapples after four years of no fruit I pulled most of them out but there are still a few near the chook house..
