I just got back from a Florida vacation, and I have to report on the Fruit and Spice Park, near Miami. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, it's worth a trip. You can wander around eating fallen fruit, and they also have a table of samples. Besides ordinary things like mangos and carambolas, they also had oodles of things I've never heard of like canistel and black sapote. It was lots of fun. It's a good thing I don't live in zone 10, or I'd need much more land to grow all these fun things. I think every state needs a park like this, though. http://fruitandspicepark.org/friends/ Melissa
