HIfarm:
Info on some monkey colas, where the aril is eaten instead of the nut:

Soren:
Got seedlings of cola lepidota.

HIfarm:
Hi Soren,

Have you tried any of the monkey colas?  If so, I'd like to hear your impressions.

John

Soren:
Sorry no; I actually considered it not edible - only when I saw your post I looked them up and found one I was growing  ;D

HIfarm:
Thanks, Soren.  When Paul Noren was staying with me, he mentioned a couple of them as being pretty good but he did not seem wildly enthusiastic about them (maybe just because it is not a traditional "fruit" kind of flavor?).  It will still be several years before any of mine bear fruit to be able to assess them.

John
