In Taiwan there are a plethora of tropical fruits available, but because of the mountains in Taiwan there are also your typical fruits that you might find back home in Wisconsin that require some kind of a winter in order to do well. I would not call what we are experiencing now "Winter", although the locals do. It is more like late Spring or early Summer to me.
So for fruits I can readily find at decent prices starfruit, dates (fresh, not just dried like we see in Wisconsin), dragon fruit, papaya, guava, Asian pears, a large variety of oranges and tangerines (some are sweeter, some peel as easily as clementines but are larger), as well as apples, cherries, etc.
I hear in the Summer there will also be very fresh, juicy, sweet mangoes. I'm sure I'm only seeing a fraction of the kinds of things that will eventually be in season. Regardless, I'm enjoying the new selection of produce available to me.
