Facebook

Truly Tropical is on facebook.
Information on that site is minimal, but I started the page for ease of messaging me.  After mango season I'll try to add more pictures to it.

Fruit for Wednesday, July 30

Mangos for Wednesday will include:
  • Kent
  • Duncan
  • Beverly
  • Nam Doc Mai
  • Graham
  • Neelum
  • Jakarta
  • Zill Indochinese
  • Valencia Pride
  • Keitt
...we will have only a few fruit of some of these varieties (including Valencia Pride).  This year was a terrible one for Valencia Pride.  Next year should be better.
The seasons for all but a handful of mango varieties will be over very soon.  I'm always amazed by how quickly our supply changes, but we should have at least one variety well into September.

Other Fruit will include:
  • Sugar Apple
  • Carambola (Star Fruit)


    Longan didn't taste sweet enough today
