With well over 100 varieties of fruit trees there is always fruit for the picking.  Today’s pick was guanabana, avocados, and a pineapple. I also picked passion fruit, juanitos and guava after I took this photo. In the evening I browse and munch while I walk with the dogs. They browse and munch too.

As a boy, Wally dreamed of never worrying about having enough food. His solution was to grow up and plant every type of fruit tree he could.

The big green spiky fruit is a guanábana. It is from the same family as pawpaw for those of you who know that fruit. Inside the flesh is white and it’s seeds are shiny-black. It makes the most delicious sorbets. How can I describe its taste? It is a fruity flavor combination of pineapple, guava and banana – sweetly sour. It smells like a fruit smoothie.

The pineapple is a small, very sweet variety – the perfect size for the 2. We have a pineapple plot under the shade of a breadfruit tree.

There are so many tropical tastes unique to our part of the world and with every season they change. I never dreamed that the beauty of fruit would become such a delight and joy!
