Ok, that is exciting, there are enough figs around to try and I'll see what I can find apple/plum/cherry wise. Bummer about hazelnut but I suppose worth it if you have enough to material to start with.
Only just noticed your location. I'm in Coromandel, so can't be too different here.
Has anyone you know of tried any natives? Personally I'm after food, but the near the neighbors its best to not look too exotic it might scare them.
