First Engkala fruits in Reunion Island. Trees are about six years and seeds coming from Sibu (Sarawak)

Nice Do you have any pictures of the whole tree? How many trees do you have?

[Gouralata]

Hello
   The trees are in a little jungle so it's impossible to get a photo of the entire tree. They are about 7 m tall and 4-5m diameter. I have three trees, two males and one female.

Really good growth in 6 years. Suggest topping them, otherwise they get very tall and you will not be able to reach fruits. Also they have lots of brittle limbs that drop in slightest wind.

Alright Im excited to get some of those seeds from you, Keep me posted when their available. I have 4 of the pink type growing, seeds origin from borneo. Do you know where the white type were originally sourced?

Have you tried the red and white type side by side for comparison?

I got the seeds originally from Felipe' Osborne in Puerto Rico. (I don't know where he got them from.) Felipe's photos show that his fruits were red. So somehow my plants reverted to a different color fruit.    I haven't tried the different colored fruits side by side.

I love these. Such a bizarre looking and tasting fruit. The flavor reminds me of buttermilk of all things.
