Garcinia dulcis is a tropical fruit tree native to the Philippines, Java, Lesser Sunda Islands, eastern Indonesia (Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and the Maluku Islands), New Guinea and Queensland. It was domesticated early and spread inland into mainland Asia.
Its oval fruits, 6–9 cm (2.4–3.5 in) long, are borne in bunches of 12 or more on a long stalk. Over several weeks, the fruit fall to the ground while still green and hard, then turn golden-yellow as they ripen. [1] According to Morton (1987), "some fruits in the South Sea Islands weigh over 500 g (1 lb) each." [1]

Annona squamosa is a small, well-branched tree or shrub [7] from the family Annonaceae that bears edible fruits called sugar apples or sweetsops. [8] It tolerates a tropical lowland climate better than its relatives Annona reticulata and Annona cherimola [6] (whose fruits often share the same name) [3] helping make it the most widely cultivated of these species.

It is a small to medium-sized tree growing to 7–25 m tall. The leaves are narrow obovate, 20–40 cm in length and 10–20 cm in width. Fruit produced as mentioned earlier, is otherwise aptly known as the Box Fruit, due to distinct square like diagonals jutting out from the cross section of the fruit, given its semi spherical shape form from stem altering to a subpyramidal shape at its base.
Willughbeia sarawacensis, commonly known as tabo (Philippines) and kubal or kubal madu (Malaysia), is a large tropical vine-bearing plant with edible fruit native to Palawan and to the nearby island of Borneo. [2]
The fruit of C. ovatum is a drupe, 4 to 7 cm (1.6 to 2.8 in) long, 2.3 to 3.8 cm (0.91 to 1.50 in) in diameter, and weighs 15.7 to 45.7 g (0.55 to 1.61 oz). The skin ( exocarp ) is smooth, thin, shiny, and turns purplish black when the fruit ripens; the pulp ( mesocarp ) is fibrous, fleshy, and greenish yellow in color, and the hard shell ...
The fruit is hairy, and looks like a giant rambutan. When the globular fruits (15 cm (6 in) diameter) are ripe, the skins are bright orange, covered with hair. The pulp is white in color and tastes very sweet. Some say the Pedal fruit is the tastiest of all Artocarpus. [citation needed]
