Baccaurea dulcis

[Finca La Isla]

So this is a fruit that I originally got my material from Jim West several years ago when he stayed on my farm for a few days. I admit I wasn’t very convinced by this fruit the first time it produced but now it seems pretty good. It reminds me of some tampoi I had in Malaysia. As you can see it’s an abundant producer. Now that the mangosteens are done I’m going to promote this fruit at the farmers market. It’s not mangosteen but not bad either!

So , do you will sell the fruit and the farmer.market?

Peter, how long did it take your trees to start producing (how old)?

[Finca La Isla]

Yes, this specie is diocious. It took five years to begin production.
I’m planning on offering it at the farmers market this Saturday.  I’m sure it will take lots of sampling but I’m used to that.  It’s interesting to see the responses of people while trying fruits they e never seen before.  I’ve got lots of other baccaureas and garcinias in the pipeline that nobody has had here before.

Have some fruit that look similar to yours in May in Bangkok, they were quite good, I never knew if they were Mafai(Baccaurea Ramiflora) or Rambai, they were sweet with a bite of astringency close to the seed

[Finca La Isla]

The skin on that baccaurea is quite thin.  They look a little like b. motyliana.  There’s so many!
