Many of these fruits thrive in tropical climates with well-draining, rich soil, and may require shielding from intense midday sun or benefit from abundant sunlight depending on the variety. Citrus fruits, in particular, are well suited to tropical gardens and often produce fruit year-round. Some fruits that are commonly thought of as vegetables, like tomatoes and peppers, are also fruit-bearing plants that grow well in tropical gardens. For a game context, such as "Grow a Garden," tropical fruits include banana, durian, papaya, starfruit, watermelon, coconut, dragon fruit, mango, pineapple, and others as well. This list offers a wide range of options to consider when planning a tropical fruit garden, depending on your specific climate zone and available space. Pruning techniques can help manage larger trees like mango and jackfruit in smaller garden spaces. If you want, I can also provide a list specifically tailored for tropical fruit plants featured in the "Grow a Garden" game. Let me know if you want that!
