When it comes to fresh ripe mango, my fav is the Hayden mango that we have here. Chilled, I can eat till the stomach hurts.
 
We eat breadfruit every season--goes good with butter. yum

Semi ripe li hing pickled mango or shoyu mango is all good too.

Remember, to some places in the world Peaches and Apricots are exotic and fantastic.

Fresh apricots are great.

This photograph shows a White Mango tree in season. Most of the mangos are ripe. As you can see, getting them is another story all together.

Nope. Live too far south to grow these.

Can anyone confirm for me if these are the fruits in Vietnamese called "breast-milk fruit"?

I really liked the flavor of these when I was in the tropics:

It may be a dialect or slang term, but not in standard Vietnamese -- they're Măng cụt, which I think is a phonetic rendering of mangosteen.

The king!  What sets durian apart from any other fruit is the complexity of the flavour, different tastes varying from fruit to fruit, and even within different parts of the same fruit (like a good wine!).
 
Growing in Cambodia:
 

 
 
And the flower; the fruit needs a pretty strong stalk to hang from!

  ^Very popular that is for sure. I wish I liked it. Glad people like it. The way it has a power to smell up the air is amazing. It has to have one of the most powerful smells on earth.^

Yes, i've heard of loquat and had a huge tree (about 30 yrs old) in my back yard. Had to take it down years ago as it's roots were buckling and damaging the concrete slab in my patio. Also got tired of constantly pruning and raking the tons of fallen leaves generated by the tree. I also had a small seed lychee tree that was planted around the same time as the loquat tree. We also took it down because it was getting huge and it wasn't bearing any fruits after nearly a decade of trying different methods to get it to bear fruits. When it did bear fruits early on, we had tons of lychee to enjoy and more than enough to share with my neighbors and relatives. In the end it only generated alot of work to continually prune the tree and rake it's leaves.
 

 
Along with lychee, I do enjoy longan (dragon eye):
 

 
Prices lychee and longan runs about $5 a pound when they're in season.

The one called longan is called klengkeng here. The sweet taste is great!!! THis is the 1st time I saw the full fruit of Lychee, usually I found the canned one....

Durian is very, very strong fruit, the taste, the fragrant, even the skin. Some people, like me, found the taste and fragrant to be the best fruit ever, but some people can't stand the taste. Even smelling the fragrant make them dizzy. This is why Durian is prohibited in some place like airport, hotels, etc. Before you try the real fruit (if you got the chance), try smelling it first. If you found it okay, then go ahead try the fruit, but if somehow it make you dizzy or even vomit, then stay away.

Is that sweet tamarine? If yes, I used to steal this fruit from the tree behind my elementary school building complex LOL. I and my friends doing it when the recess usually
 
Oh yes, the mountain apple is known as Jambu merah locally here. There are other fruits similar to it: Jambu air, jambu ijo/jambu hijau, and jambu darsono. The jambu darsono is very similar in appearance but more deep red both in skin and in flesh. The core is smaller too. And tasted very sweet. Jambu Ijo/Jambu Hijau, like the name, is coloured green. When young, the fruit is light green, and get deeper the more mature it get. Even when young, the fruit is sweet, the mature one is very, very sweet.
 
Have anyone taste Sawo Kecik http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manilkara_kauki? It's yummy!!! It's known as Caqui or Wongi

I get soursop from my neighbor. 
 
Mountain apple can run mildish but not quite tasteless. The trick is to get the purple ones from the right trees.

Persimmons are in season now, both the firm and squishy.
