These photos are from a friend, he lives 400 km northwest of here, warmer region and the fruits in his region mature first than mine.
My pindaiba trees are native, about 12, 14 meters high, my fruit will be ripe in 30 or 40 days, I have 10 year old trees planted by me and with no sign of flowering, with 9 m height.
Most of these trees here are native, uncultivated, so I have no experience in knowing for sure how many years they take to fruition.
The tree is heavily felled to make light woods, because it has a light white wood, in my piece of Atlantic forest here on the farm, I already counted 14 native pindaiba trees, this in an area of 27 hectares of forest, 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters. I do not know how to convert this measure to the English area measurements.
The taste is sweet, reminiscent of the fruit of the Biribá ( Rollinia mucosa), but it has little pulp, and it is difficult to harvest because the fruits get very high and are hunted by the wild animals in any way.
Pindaiba at least is a seed easy to germinate, delay without treatment with GA3, 4 months, not terrible to germinate like marolo.
Thanks.
Great pictures, those fruit look awesome on the tree, very exotic looking. How old is that tree? How would you describe the taste of the fruit?
I have a couple trees, the biggest about 2 feet tall, can't wait to try the fruit.
