I’ll probably rip out anything that gets toasted this coming spring, because I want only ones that have no problems to be kept around.

Tzimbalo (Solanum caripense) seedling growing tall. The pictures of the fruit remind me of a tomato-sized watermelon or a mini pepino.
In the 4 cell is Manilkara rufula, a small fruit cousin of sapodilla. Below it is an “Improved” Lemondrop Mangosteen (Garcinia intermedia).
My Abiu (Pouteria caimito) seedlings. A few of them are from named improved cultivars, the rest are from a seedling of an improved culitvar from Australia.

Mystery seedling. I originally thought it was Abiu with a different leaf shape, but the new leaves open like a fig. Makes me think it is either an Asian Persimmon or more likely a Jackfruit. However, most jackfruit I have seen have rounder leaves, and both of the ones I have have these more pointed leaves. Could just be younger trees have more pointy leaves.

Wani/white mango (Mangifera caesia) sprouting. My other one is starting to bump the soil as well.
Duguetia aff. confusa. Related to annonas, but are a very striking fruit. One of two have sprouted so far.
American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana). Pretty vigorous grower so far.
Can barely see them, but these are Randia ruiziana. Related to Blackberry Jam Fruit (and other gardenias). Still have there seeds on them.
