Are there other edible Asimina (Not triloba) in Florida ?
« on: August 27, 2017, 06:06:35 PM »
Most of us know A. triloba and its fruits....however there are more than other 10 species in the genre of Asimina, most of them grow in the Southest of US (es. Florida)...

I was wondering...does someone grow them? Are Asimina obovata, A. tetramera, A. parviflora or other species edible? How do they taste?

Thanks

Haven't heard too much about the other asiminas, I have heard they are edible, but I do recall that adam from flying fox fruits was trying to grow some.
