nice list
whats your USDA zone?

Morus spp. ~ "Mulberry"
- you dont ned to pay for this surely. easy as to strike hardwood cuttings.

Fragaria spp. ~ "Strawberry"
Punica granatum ~ "Pomegranate"
Actindica chinensis ~ "Kiwi"
Lycium barbarum ~ "Goji Berry" or "Wolfberry"
Rubus spp. ~ "Raspberry"
Passiflora spp. ~ "Passion Fruit"
Physalis peruviana ~ "Physalis" or "Cape Gooseberry"
Euterpe spp. ~ "Acai"
Annona cherimola ~ "Cherimoya"
- all thes are easy by seed from cheap bought seed or fruit at the shop.
rarepalmseeds.com has the acai, several types. Goji can be had as dried fruit full of seeds in chinatown.
strawberry, Kiwi, gooseberry and raspberry grow well and easy from seed. ripe fruit in a blender, ferment it run through a sieve an voila clean seed. sow it in a peat flat and let sit under a bench in a shadehouse till they come up like a lawn.
bananatree has some other rarer species of Kiwi (Actinidia)
with passionfruit spit out the seeds in a pot and leave it til they come up. Cherimoya amd pomegranate also come pretty true from seed

Ficus ~ "Fig"
Hylocereus spp. ~ "Dragonfruit"
Vaccinium spp. ~ "Blueberry"
- get cuttings of named varieties. it pays. I reckon teh better hylo is polyrhizus, red skin red flesh. but you need both species or multiple cvs. to cross pollinate

Asimina spp. ~ "Papaw"
- i saw these at bananatree.com.

Opunita spp. ~ "Prickly Pear"
- cutting off a plant with good fruit. easy as easy gets

Crataegus pinnatifida ~ "Shan Zha"
- this takes nearly 2 years to germinate. buy a plant

Zea spp. ~ "Maize"
- great corns from nativeseed/search

Inga edulis ~ "Ice Cream Bean" (Could I grow this outdoors?)
- the hardier species by far is Inga feuilleii. I have many seedlings of I edulis but im in Australia.

Acca sellowiana ~ "Feijoa" or "Guavasteen"-buy a grafted plant, they are far superior to the seedlings. get 2 cultivars to x pollinate. very productive and delicious

Bamboo
-lol. that like saying 'tree'. what do you want it for? whats your zone?

Garcinia mangostana ~ "Mangosteen"
- i can get you seed but i think youre pushing a cart uphill.

Synsepalum dulcificum ~ "Miracle Fruit"
Durio spp. ~ "Durian"
Theobroma cacao ~ "Chocolate"
- as above. Too hard, but again i can probably help you

Capsicum spp. ~ "Chili Pepper
- so many places online. what you want? a wild chiltepine? an heirloom anaheim? or a complex andean aji?

haha send me some Self-addressed stamped padded envelope and I'll give you ALL the mulberry I can fit inside.  I take a pickaxe to that stuff from may through november just to keep it under control in my yard...

This is white mulberry.  not red.  and it's delicious :)
