Here are the tropical fruits I'm currently growing. There were some that I've planted, but they died off and I did not bother to replace them and they were the Seagrape, Hazelnut, Keylime, Longan among others.

For the past several years, I've planted more citrus fruit trees .. only to find out about the citrus greening disease .. That was a let down ... so many of them. They're not doing well--just hanging on to dear life and taking it one day at a time. They still produce fruit though, but the fruit quality is greatly compromised.

As for bananas, I started out being overly enthusiastic .. only to find out that most of them take at least a few years to establish, but they're always damaged whenever there's a freeze, so they'll have to start from scratch again each time that happens. Only one variety will grow in one growing season and that's the Raja Puri.

Between the Lychees and Longans, I prefer growing lychees as they are a little more hardy than longans. Longans are more susceptible to diseases. The mealy bugs love to attack them and I just can't help to keep them away from the plants. I've planted five lychees on the ground and so far only one has been infested with it, but with longans whether in the pot or in the ground, they are always diseased with the same problem. Don't know why.

The more consistent fruit bearers are still the Bearrs lemon, some citrus trees, peach, blueberries and certain variety of bananas. I'm still rather amateurish in growing many of them which are still rather young, but hopefully if I can keep all them alive, they'll do some service .. lol.

Anyway, currently this is what I'm growing. Many of them are still in the pot and not planted in the ground yet due to space limitation. The smaller plants, berries and ultra tropical fruit trees, I plan to keep them in the pot and play tag with old man Winter.

Hope to hear from you your experience growing tropical fruit trees whatever your planting zone is.

I'm fairly new to tropical fruit, I've had a few citrus trees for a while but started to pick up other things in the last 2 years. I live in New Jersey so I'm limited to pots that I can carry in and out of the house in winter.

Citrus: Meyer Lemon, Persian Lime, Valencia Orange, Kishu mandarin, Daisy mandarin, Cara Cara orange, one other orange unknown type.
Avocado- Day
Coffee
Cinnamon
Mango: Pickering and 2 Ataulfo (from seed)
Sapodilla
Miracle Fruit
Pineapple ( from top of store bought pineapple)
Dragon fruit ( from seed)
Vanilla

In ground I grow,
Pears- Bartlett, Chohiru
Plums- a red and a blue
Apples - 4 in one tree
Figs
Blueberries- top hat
Grapes
Raspberries
schisandra berries

Looks like a lot when written out but I dont get much fruit. I do have some of the fattest squirrels in the area.

Mine are all still too small and young to produce any fruits yet, since I just started last year, but here's what I have so far

passion fruit-purple seedling of unknown origins, yellow Brazilian giant seeds(currently germinating) and cuttings
mangoes- gold nugget seedling but might be a cutting? A few Nam Doc Mai seeds currently germinating.
lychee- Mauritius and sweet heart(but it looks dead, since they're is no leaf and the branch seems dry, but the roots is still alive)
longan-grafted kohala and seedling, ping pong seedling
rollinia deliciosa-seedlings(some might be up for trading in a few months)
cherimoya-seedling, grafted selma
atemoya-grafted lidstorm
dragon fruit-physical graffiti, purple haze, american beauty, Thai red, Arizona purple, roger's white, phoenix red and guyute
guavas-Thai giant, emperor, hybrid pearl, and some unknown pink flesh
eugenia-grumichama and pintagatuba
papaya-tr hovey and some mexican seedling
banana-raja puri and dwarf namwah

and now for some not so tropical:

bluberry-star, emerald, suziblue, rebel, southmoon, and jewel
paw paw-sun flower
grapes-maybe Thompson seedless
kiwi-issai
