I see my neighbor stealing some of the raspberries between the houses (kind of a shared spot). Not a big deal, as I steal some beans on my side of the fence, and she also gives me some food as well. I have gotten her addicted to blackberries! I do grow more plants then just fruit - like castor beans, and I had to chase down some teens who a bunch. I managed to track them down - they thought it was weed, and man would they have gotten a shock when they smoked it....... I had to tell them what it was. OF course they didnt believe me. I had to use one of their phones to show them the differences. Ive had cops stop and ask what it was as well.

I don't know where they are grown, but the in store stuff looked good to me too. We bought a tangerine and pomegranate tree from the back room, and they are both doing great.

Was this a tree or large shrub? If so, maybe a Magnolia? See link below. Here is another good pic: http://www.threeleaf.com/stock-photography/picture-view.htm?id=pxve5tmjs2&returnPage=pictures001.htm&returnText=Plants Here is a link that might be useful: Magnolia Fruits

I'm in Florida zone 10a. The tree is in front of an abandoned home. It looks like the surrounding property was once a garden center. There are mountains of growers pots, a greenhouse that's in ruins, Shade cloth tangled into the landscape, and the surviving potted plants having long since rooted into the ground. I can't get the fruit open. I think it dulled the knife.
