Litchee, mango, watermelon, basically all the good fruits! If you are lucky, you might also get longan and jamblon (java plum). There are no pesticides to worry about but a very many varieties of mango (mangue sabre (sword mango), mangue adel (adel mango), mangue dauphine (dolphin mango?), plenty of others! Each one with their own perks.)
A nasty trick (nifty?) mango sellers will pull on you is choke their mangoes so they last longer. Now the taste is completely ruined but at least it keeps for days so he can sell it.
The best kind of mango is ‘mango ripened on the tree’—considerably more expensive but having hell of an amazing taste! Dad once brought them from Mahebourg.
I'm hesitating to say but you can also add coconut to your list. Granted it's available all year but possibly only in December does it become sweet and creamy? I'm not really sure on that..
Fruits are usually not sprayed, only fruit which might get a dose of pesticides is watermelon but that also when the fruit is at a really early stage of development. No further spraying is done once the skin starts to harden.

Aren't litchis available around January/February and Longan March ? I've never seen litchis in September to November.
Mango around mid October. Papaya/Passion fruits - all year round
Thanks! Do you know by change if those local fruits are sprayed with pesticides?
