Do you have 2nd night?
What are you having?

It use to be (when I was growing up) pomogranite- but now we eat them all the time
dragon fruit, lychee, rambutan, star fruit also we eat often enough

Need something new and special

Sabra
Asian pear
Passion fruit
Fresh figs are a treat (and any fruit is technically shehechiyanu worthy on the 2nd night of the year, provided you haven't eaten it yet the day before)

I vaguely remember learning you can use any seasonal fruit that you haven't eaten since it came back in season. I only eat Mandarin oranges in the fall, so I technically could use them.
I'd double check, but basically, it doesn't need to be a year.

It's supposed to be a fruit that makes you happy/doesn't grow year round but seasonally. But it can be any of those special fruits that you're eating first time this new year.

We make a fruit platter including the shivas haminim and any new interesting fruit
It’s instead of an appetizer, it’s my first course

Cherimoya and mangosteen are the favorite new fruits in our home.

It has to be a fruit you haven't eaten that season. Fresh digs are highly infested and very difficult to check.

Think good

I was taught that it goes by seasons, not by the calendar year

All you do is split a few open and peek for flies.

I actually avoid the "shechiyanu" fruits because of this. Though usually the typical ones are never in season on R"H so they aren't super tasty.

I get starfruit which is the cheapest. I hate to buy a small fruit and spend 8 or $12

Dh got fresh figs and an Asian pear. What do I look for in the figs? I’ve never had fresh, only dried ones.
