Fruit Overload

[Mike T]

Yes the leaves are bigger with your ones Oscar and the fruit seem smaller and rounder and have less pearly sheen. I weighed some and they average 175g or so but none made 200g and some seedless ones were only 100g.

[Mike T]

I am most overloaded with starfruit and the B17 is like a machine pumping them out.There must be over 100lbs on my modest sized tree.

Time for starfruit wine!

What a problem! Life is rough for you, isn't it?  It's at times like this that i become fruitarian. Don't go fishing for a while Mike! 

LOL

[Mike T]

Too late Oscar here is one of the frozen volunteers for KP from my last fishing trip. It was the only trout I caught but I got good pelagics and emperors as well.

Here is the pick sorry.Mangosteen of the sea.

Thank you so much, i will try it!

Here is the pick sorry.Mangosteen of the sea.

One of the best reef species, for sure. Better than 99.9% of pelagics, but you don't run into a keepable size of that last decimal place very often.

They really are stunning when first brought up on deck with those luminous blue spots.

If only my buddies could help me mow through this abiu selection.Those in the cardboard box are z4 and a new variety by me that I forgot the name of.They were going to Sydney but offloaded to me instead.


I am also overloaded with jackfruit and the berry of the right is more elongate than the amber on the right.I have lots more as well.At the moment these 2 are fetching an amazing $25/kg in Melbourne and only $2/kg in Cairns.You could empty a wallet with a single fruit.
Must run now I have eating to do.

[Mike T]

Amber on the left sorry. I have bananas,starfruit and others stuff to eat as well.

Mike, any chance there will be Abiu and berry and Amber jacks available end of the month or start of next? Dying to taste those two!

[Mike T]

BMc there is a very high probability.If only you were here right now I could put you to work mowing through abius and jacks.

Dear Mike
I'm in Freshwater
If you find that you are really starting to gag on too much amber and berry jakfruit I will happily purchase any excess :-)

Just about to plant out the seedlings from the jak seeds you  gave me last year (guy on the scooter outside the courthouse) - hopefully this rain is going to hang around.

Regards
Jim

Is there any way to distinguish Ambers by looking at their exterior? At the local fruit shop this morning there were good looking Abiu and a jack that looked a bit like amber, but the fruiterer couldn't tell the type, so I passed.

Mike, thank you for the input. Do you have an idea where this starfruit was introduced from?

I'm currently growing one C. auratum from a batch of seeds Oscar send me some time ago. It appears that the leaves are different from the ones I see on your picture.

wow what a beauty.your c. auratum is looking very healthy.btw any updates on the plant?
