Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Giant Abiu in Brazil
« on: August 11, 2017, 01:58:44 AM »
This guy is a very famous breeder in Taiwan. He introduced hundreds of rare fruits from all over the world.

He mentioned in the film that the new cultivar was selected from around 20~30 seedlings and has been grafted to other trees to see how the characteristics can be maintained. After three years all of the grafted trees show the following facts and proved to be commercial ready:
1. >600g per fruit
2. >100 fruits per tree
3. snow white flesh and will not turn brown or "watery"
4. fruit won't split in case of rain or other weather conditions
5. round shape to meet customer's likes

The name "Jiu Da" means "The fruits will last long and big"! Shelf life claimed to be 8~12 days. Many orchards in southern Taiwan started production two years ago and the fruits can be bought in the market.

In some area of Taiwan they fruit 2~3 times a year!

Grafting may be the only way to reproduce the same characteristics, so seeds won't help.

Hi Oscar,

I don't know the other part of Asia but here in Taiwan, people are striving to get better species from seedlings, such as achachairu, cupuasu as you mentioned. We have achieved great success especially on all kind of Jabo's, White Sapote, and Abiu!

Yes, Luc's Garcinia are tough! I have more than ten 3.5 years old trees on the ground, shaded and not shaded.
Typhoons usually slash most of the leaves every year, they can recover in a month or two.
We have plants flowered in Taiwan but haven't heard of any fruits yet.
