Micah,Just wondering, any update on your purui suspect? Has the fruit matured yet? Does it seem to be purui?JohnQuote from: micah on May 01, 2014, 11:41:22 PMI forget where they came from....a friend got them mailed to her and she gave me these. I wondered if they were Purui or a relative. When they ripen ill get some pics. The leaves are very smooth and shiny when wet...like in the pic it was after a big storm. Luc's look more rough leafed.

That is a steal! I bet some nursery will buy them and at least double/triple the price.
Here is the update on our Hawaii Purui. It was an early fruit that I noticed was getting brownish..funny cause another tree we have has fruit that are much older but still not ripe yet.. So I took inside and let ripen. Waited for family to try, to get more opinion on it. Wife and son and i say say 3.5 on scale of 10. To us pink limeberry, noni is a 1 on flavor. Daughter said no. To us it tasted like a giant blackberry jamfruit, but better..without the aftertaste. It taste like it got some good nutrients.Maybe it could be better if it was a more mature fruit.Lots of seeds. I wonder if close to skin is edible?..it was more sourish tasting.Does it look like a Purui on inside to the Puruiologist?Aloha! Quote from: HIfarm on July 10, 2014, 07:01:22 PMMicah,micah, this is the one you let me try the other month? I got some seedlings starting and have put out a couple leaves. it tasted alright in the beginning and then the after taste kicked in. Just wondering, any update on your purui suspect?

HahaYes, the one in my pic is some type of Purui sp. Luc's one seems to look a bit different.They are tasting better to me nowadays.I'm tripping out on how long they take to ripen on tree...maybe a year or more..still has fruits from last season and the bush is flowering again.
