How does your tree's fruit taste?  (Did you grow from seed or do you have named cultivars?)

Hi Sérgio!

I have several seeds (passiflora morifolia, passiflora arida, passiflora capsularis) and several plants to trade. Please see list on this forum.

Best wishes,

João Franco

I have two trees grown from seed.

The problem is not taste. It is a juicy, tasty fruit, but there's little pulp.

Nevertheless, I have to admit that marula is growing on me. It's nice to bite into
the thick rind of the fruit and get a squirt of a rather fine juice.
Then there's a bit of pulp around the large seed to chew on for a couple of minutes.

Tomorrow, I will see if there are any fruits left that are still unspoiled.

The fruits fall from the tree and carpet the ground but I was away when it happened.

I still managed to try a few that were still ok, but that was several days ago.

Stuart, have you tried to get the named selections found by the late professor Kas?

Iv been looking as I have over 50 seedlings that are about pinkie thick(year old, Marula grows pretty fast!) that would be perfect to graft onto! I contacted some universities but no replies :'( :'(
