Excited I got to try Irwin this year. In Japan they call this mango egg of the Sun and sell them for up to a few thousand dollars. This one cost $5 at tropical acres farm. It was delicious. Light a little sweet like a ripe peach.

Bael fruit is the reason Thai iced tea is supposed to be orange! They usually just add red and yellow food coloring to tea now. Sad not many people know this fragrant tea fruit. I can be grown in south Florida and is in the citrus family.
Check out the tree at the entrance to mounts botanical garden. I made this tea with a combination of sliced dried fruit that I ordered online and a local piece of fruit.

Free banana plants. One apple banana with pup 8fttall max. Three Mysore banana plants 6ft tall max, Three tall blue bananas(not blue java). Bananas need lots of water, full sun and lots of organic matter like compost and mulch to make fruit.
