Mine is white sapote (2 lemon golds) Ultra tough in high winds, extreme heat. No pests on the leaves. Strong trunk and root system. Tolerates sand and salinity.
Fruits are large and easy to bag. Flowering can be extended in a warm climate. Fruit is lovely and high flesh to seed ratio. Easy to extract fleash from seed and skin.
A nice looking tree too...very handsome leaves and bark..and a nice dark green.

This may not actually count as an 'investment', because they were given to me, but I'd say my 5 coconut trees.
They are just so versatile. I use the fronds & coconut husks for mulch, the coconut 'water' for a refreshing drink, plus the flesh to eat. (it's so filling tho).
I walk around the yard with a cordless drill with a 10mm bit, find a good nut, dill a hole and shove a drinking straw in and drink it! :-)
In the Philippines, it's called 'the tree of life'.

Must admit I have got quite addicted to coconut water Brendan? Can only get the tetra packs of it...but I love the fact that it contains nothing but coconut water and it's not sweet - but refreshing and healthy too.
The 'trees' look beautiful too.
