* Fuyu Persimmon - Works well with fruity ''Brett'' character.
* Grapes - Wine grapes are preferable for their depth of flavor compared to table grapes. Consider both the influence of the juice of the fruit as well as the potential to pull tannins and flavor/aroma from skins. Some homebrewers have experimented successfully with blending finished wine with beers, and for many brewers you will have much easier access to good wine than good wine grapes <ref name='Mad Fermentationist Riesling and Lambic'>[http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2010/02/blending-wine-and-lambic.html Mad Fermentationist blending wine and lambic]</ref> <ref name='Mad Fermentationist New Zealand saison'>[http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2014/08/new-zealand-saison-and-glycosides.html Mad Fermentationist New Zealand saison]</ref>. If you are interested in sourcing quality grapes and you live in a wine region, make friends with your local wineries. It will probably be good for you even if grape requests do not bear fruit (see what I did there, that was pretty funny).
* Kumquat - Can get too bitter if too many are used. It doesn't take much to get a nice citrus and rind character <ref name="eisenberg_thread"></ref>.
* Loquot - Leave out pits.
* Passionfruit - When using whole fruit, use the pulp only.
