​

We continue to enjoy the changing, and now cooler, weather as Fall is officially here. The summer fruit crops of lychee, longan, and mango, are done for the year and the fall fruit crops of

dragon fruit, jackfruit, and starfruit are going strong.

Check the listings below to see what tropical fruits are ripe for the picking!

 

The fruits listed below are typically ripe during October. But due to the variations in weather patterns

throughout the year and cultural practices, the fruits may ripen earlier or later then listed.

Please contact the growers to see when their fruit is at its prime and ready to harvest.
