Default Re: Mangosteens and other tropical fruits found in Knoxville!

I'll leave the fruit stories of Hawaii out of this one, it wouldn't be fair!

As for Colorado, I too have seen 'Orinoco' labeled as 'Burro' at a few different markets (a natural foods store and an Indian market), 'Manzano' bananas once, lychee, rambutan...probably a few other random things but nothing like having the wide fresh selection in Hawaii!
