shave ice has good recommendations. Personally, I prefer atemoya (cherimoya hybrid better adapted to semitropics) to rollinia. They are cousins. different avocado varieties bear at different times and you need "A" and "B" types for cross-pollination, so you might want more than 1, depending on what trees are close around you. I am losing my taste for jackfruit, so I suggest you try some before you buy and plant. We really like mango, so I would definitely recommend 2 or more trees of disease resistant varieties for East Hawaii. Rapoza mango is said to be resistant, but I just removed my tree because even the leaves were diseased this spring. A good place to check for fruit tree info is the PIH (Plant it Hawaii) website. They list Brook's Late, Carrie, Fairchild, Florigon, Glenn, and Nam Doc Mai. PIH had their fall sale a week ago, but they will have another one in spring. I just got a Daisy SL (seedless) tangerine from them. This is a new and highly recommended variety.
