November
Fall is really here in south Florida and we are now regularly enjoy cooler day time temperatures
in the mid 80’s, and night time temperatures into the 60’s. Several of our tree crops
(mango, lychee, longan) need even cooler temperatures of the winter (40’s, 50’s) to initiate
a strong flowering that eventually will lead to fruit in the summer months. So while some of us
Floridian growers don’t like the thermometer to go below 70, many of our trees respond
very well to those cooler temperatures!
While the temperate fruit crops to our north are without fruit at this time of year,
a few of our tropical fruit tree crops are producing fruit now. See below for what tropical fruits
are available in November.
The fruits listed below are typically ripe during November. But due to the variations in weather patterns
throughout the year and cultural practices, the fruits may ripen earlier or later then listed. Please
contact the growers to see when their fruit is at its prime and ready to harvest.
