Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Suggestions For New Fruit Trees?
« on: March 25, 2012, 01:51:52 AM »U r like me','impatient and love to eat fruit...jaboticaba is one of most deceptive fruits to those who are not experienced in eating them regularly. They are fibrous and tart if eaten early...when ripe they are silky and sweet. Not all jaboticaba are so sweet! M. cauliflora generally makes a more tart fruit than M.jaboticaba, and is a slightly smaller tree.
How do u prefer your Jabo now? Early, or ripe? Or both?? Get used to both, and u will beat birds and other thieves!!
Every fruit is deceptive... if you don't know the proper way to eat it. Just remembered funny incident of first time for somebody here eating a starapple (caimito). They told me how terrible this fruit was. When i asked them how they ate it they said they just bit right into it like an apple. Later they had a terrible stomach ache. Worse case scenario is somebody eating an akee for first time without any guidance.
