I'm from the Caribbean and my backyard has orange trees, a mango tree, a guava tree, a lime tree and others (but no avocado tree). So your choices were pretty spot on.


I was cheating about the orange tree. That was the neighbors', whose tree came into our yard and we could get those oranges. They also had banana plants. My grandparents (across the street) had a huge grapefruit tree in their backyard.

I was happy when the guava tree blew down in a storm. Bugs got into the fruit so quickly, and I was the one who had to pick them up when I mowed. Yech! Mangos took longer to get to that state. And people would come into the yard to grab newly fallen mangoes, leaving less to deal with. A bit rude to do so without asking, we thought, but we couldn't them all anyway.
