Mongongo nut, Marula, Baobab, kiwano Melon + to Trade

[stuartdaly88]

Looking to trade for tasty fruits I dont have that are worthwhile from seed 

Mongongo nut - Schinziophyton rautanenii

A tough nut to crack but raw taste is good like a cross between Macademia and Brazil nut:)
I havnt tried yet but apparently excelent roasted.
Apparently the fruit is edible too though I havnt tasted it.

Baobab-Adonansia digitata



Interesting plant for sure!
Young leafs eadible and tasty and fruit is in a kind of powder that keeps a long time and is full of nutrients. Makes a tasty healthy drink.
(may take long to fruit though)

Vangueria infausta - African medlar


Smells exactly like an apple and tastes abit like one too. Flesh is very very soft and not juicy at all.
So it tasted like mashed stewed apples with a difference, it wasn't tart but had a definite sherbert note.
I know it may not sound appealing but I am really surprised how much I like this fruit!
Flesh to seed ratio was good and the flesh doesn't cling to the seed easily sucked off:)

Marula - Sclerocarya birrea



I love this fruit!! little pulp but extremly tasty and juicy. Sweet with complexity and a definite caramel note for me.

Kiwano Melon - Cucumis metuliferus


Balanites maughamii
Wild plum - Harpephyllum caffrum

May add a few other species later

Hi Stuart

Have you tasted the Balanites maughamii yet?  There are a few trees growing in our town.  I have never tasted them, because every time I get some of the fruit they smell awful.  The trees grow tall and all the branches are high.

I havnt tasted a fruit yet unfortunately.
I mainly got it because it's related to Balanites aegyptiaca which is in lost crops of Africa. Apparently it is edible though not much info besides that! Also the seed is massive and makes a good oil.
I have a very pretty little plant from seeds I got before
