The first two months of the new year bring occasional cold fronts of less than 60⁰F to south Florida.

Instead of wishing them away as many of our winter visitors do, growers here welcome

these intermittent periods of low temperatures. It is these cool temperatures that stimulate

many of our summer time tropical fruit trees into flower, and these flowers will likely

become fruit in the coming months.  In between the cold snaps most of our winter days

are warm and sunny, perfect to ripen our winter fruits.

​

Check below to see what fruits are available from our growers.

 

The fruits listed below are typically ripe during January. However, 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.

Caimito

now until June

​

The caimito season is just now starting. You may have heard caimito called star apple before,

as the seeds inside the fruit form a star when the fruit is cut in cross section. The translucent,

jelly like flesh is sweet and can be easily scooped right out of the purple or

green rind with a spoon. A delicious treat!

​

Contact our growers here to enjoy our Florida caimitos!
