There are a couple of dozen wild fig species in my district and Ficus racemose and ficus opposita are 2 of the most common.F.racemosa doesn't look like suitable or closely related to the domestic fig.F.opposita is closer and one of quite a few sandpaper figs that range from chilly Victoria to oppressively hot Northern Territory and the Kimberlies including dry inland areas.Who know if various sandpaper figs could be selected as rootstocks in various climates.Maybe they can.How does the humidity in Cairns like Mike?? I remember in the previous topic about fig rootstock, someone made a remark on how his fig (brown turkey) if I'm not wrong has done tremendously good, also in Queensland (he said tropical Australia). I'm looking forward for this. Maybe I can buy some cuttins from you
Mine are flowering now and the honey bees are going crazy as well as bumble bees, small native stingless bees and blue banded bees.They sure are popular with bees.Weird that I have never heard any mention of Jab honey on the interweb..
I am growing Plinia Inflata the Giant Mulchi organically. I got seeds from Oscar At Fruit Lovers Nursery and they all germinated. They seem to grow fairly fast. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get any first hand knowledge about the taste, texture, etc. I do have the red Jaboticaba but they don’t excite me as much as the Giant Mulchi.Yea, it seems they're from the same Family as Jabo. But I'm guessing the taste and commercial value probably not as spectacular as Jaboticaba, which can be noticed by the hype surrounding this fruit (Jabo) in the whole forum. Hell, if they could bear fruits in 3-4 years from seeds as it is described, I'm totally sold. Good yield due to cauliflory, nice taste (haven't tasted one tho), wide applications (wine, jam, etc).
