tropical fruit

Here  a list and brief description of the largest range of tropical fruit and bush foods

Growing new kinds of tropical fruit began here as a Brinsmead family project over 20 years ago.  In those days, avocados and lychees were the new rage.  Today, of course, they are common as mangoes.
About 10 years ago, we started to grow many other new things such as Black Sapotes, Casimiroas, and Sapodillas. These are now well know within the exotic fruit industry.
In recent years our horticultural enterprise has exploded with a vast array of new fruits from virtually every region of the world. These new arrivals will require a lot of experimentation and observation for a few more years.
Of late, we have begun to group this vast diversity of fruit according to their region of origin. The Inca Garden features the highland fruits from South America. There is an Amazon Garden, an Indian Garden, a Chinese Garden, and so on. So far we have 14 different research gardens.
We haven't forgotten our own region. A Bush Tucker Garden already features about 100 species of Australian native fruits, nuts and berries. We are well into the process of making a tour of the plantation resemble a mini-tour of the tropical fruit growing regions of the world.
The Magic Garden, however, is not a regional garden, but an exhibition of things ideally suited to the home garden. It features a wide range of shrubs with decorative appearance and delicious fruit. It suggests all kinds of exciting possibilities of eating from an ornamental garden.
