After further research, I’ve discovered that these fruit trees do in fact grow in Florida. However the fruit is more commonly found in Asian markets. As soon as I get home I’ll hunt down said markets and make sure I have plenty to share. Here though they sell for as much as $5.99 a pound! I can’t begin to imagine how much they cost back home. Here they grow everywhere and yet they’re still fairly expensive. We were able to get them for little to nothing; seeing as the orchard lines the drive we take to our jungle house in the eucalyptus forrest where we currently reside. We made a nice deal with the caretaker who just happens to be Jen’s psuedo-uncle. We paid him $1 for each pound we picked ourselves.
