    off the top of my head the ones that we grow and are fruiting (New Zealand):

    Fejois (tons of em), persimmons, guavas, bannana, lemons (just started), avocados (nearing the end), quinces (gotta make jelly today), apples (we have picked golden delicious and cooking apples will be ready soon, I’m going to make some cider), figs (nearing end), Casimiroa, tamarillo, rocoto chilli. I think kiwi fruit are fruiting too but we don’t grow any.

      That is impressive. Apples and bananas in the same place? What elevation?

        I’m not quite sure what you mean by elevation, But elevation would be only slightly above sea level and plantmaps.com says I live in zone 10b.

        We live on the very limit for apples, only golden delicious and some cooking apples seem to do really well, other varieties we have don’t produce much and are vulnerable to pests. I hope climate change doesn’t skrew my apples over in the future but I think it might.

          That’s like Florida… wow. If you’re already on the limit for apples, then further warming of the winter will probably put an end to them, but it’s still impressive that you have them at all. Do you know if cherimoya fruits well there?

              Nice! Cherimoya and lúcuma are the two cold fruits that I wish that I could grow.
