Just a follow up thought, you may want to give yacon a try.  While a root crop, it is sometimes considered a "fruit" in some cultures, due to the sweet taste it develops in storage.  Not a true fruit, though, so I am not sure this addresses your question.

Subject: [NAFEX] late season fruit for the SE

Does anyone have any recommendations for late season fruits for the SE
(specifically zone 7-8)?  The italian honey figs are still going strong, but the
rest of our fruit/berries have pretty much
 finished by now - even the jujubes
are nearing their end.  I'd like to have something that ripened through Oct,
if possible.

I have an autumnberry that was planted this year, and judging by the wild ones
I saw fruiting in Asheboro, NC this past weekend, it looks like they will ripen
from Sept15-Oct1st.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
