Tropical Fruit Discussion / Strychnos madagascariensis monkey orange
« on: June 15, 2014, 11:03:54 PM »
While clearing shrubs in my piece of land i was able to save this tree from the axe.It grows wildly in that part of the world. Since the land is just 100 meters away from the
national forest.We have baboons to elephants that visit this piece of land.
Hope its worth saving it.Never tasted the fruit myself neither do i know much about it.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Landolphia kirkii Dyer
« on: February 22, 2014, 05:25:28 PM »
Have very limited seeds available from East African Coast.
Comes from the rubber vine family like Saba comorensis but small size like the pupple passion fruit.
Like to give to fruit collectors who can plant them and sell seeds latter. Or in exchange of seeds that I do not have.
Landolphia kirkii Dyer
Apocynaceae
Boni: dabeh, daber Chonyi: muungo Digo: mpira, libugu, kitoria (fmit) English: rubber vine Giriama: mutongazi, mtoria, muungo, vitoria (fruit), maungo (fruit) Kambe: muungo Sanya: hathocha Swahili: ulimbo, mpira, mbunga, kilungwana, moyo, mpyo Taita: mmeru-sukari
Description: Extensively climbing evergreen liane or spreading bush. Stems narrow, dark brown, with tendrils. Plant with a white latex. LEAVES: Opposite, small. FLOWERS: White or pale pink, borne in axillary or terminal inflorescences. FRUITS: Round to 5 cm in diameter, green, turning reddish yellow when ripe.
Ecology: Grows in the coastal area, e.g. in Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, at forest margins, in Brachystegia woodland and coastal bushland, 0-300 m on sandy soils. Zones I-V.
Uses: FOOD: The ripe fruit is edible (+++) (Giriama, Digo, Duruma, Chonyi, Kambe). Fruits are sweet with an added acid taste. The fruit wall is opened and the yellow-orange pulp covering the seeds sucked. The seeds are then discarded. Leaves are said to be eaten as a vegetable (Boni).
OTHER: Source of wild rubber which is often used for trapping birds.
COMMERCIAL: Sold in most coastal towns including Mombasa, Malindi and Kilifi. A very popular fruit eaten as a snack.
Season: Flowers in March and November and fruits in March-April and November-December in Kilifi.
Remarks: A fruit plant with a great potential for domestication.
