Bland US oranges come from California and are available year round. Excellent US oranges are grown around the Indian River in Florida, and are only available December-January or so.

The best oranges I've ever had come from Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana and are available only at Christmastime -- I imagine the trees were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, so no oranges this year.

It's climate: A country stretches from North to South is ideal. From the Equator all the way to around 35 degress south. You can grow basically anything there.

You are talking about fruits you know: There are fruits you don't even know existed:

>>Acai is the fruit from a special palm tree that grows in the Amazon rainforest and tastes like a cross between blackberries and chocolate.<<

>>Little known outside their natural range, these members of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, are perhaps the most popular native fruit-bearers of Brazil.<<

Ok, just get the whole thing!
