I just noticed my latest issue of Veggie Life magazine ("Growing
cooking and eating green") has an article entitled "Subtropical
Fruits for Your Greenhouse."  They cover (briefly!) cherimoya, allspice,
star fruit, philodendron, acerola, passion fruit, jelly palm and 
jaboticaba. The best part is they give the following info at the end
of the article :
