Tropical Fruit Discussion / ID Request n°2
« on: December 31, 2023, 01:37:18 AM »
Hello again Everyone, this one might be an endemic specie from New Caledonia but not sure as I just cannot find its ID. So any help identifying that specie is welcome. Here are some pictures to give you a better idea. Ripe fruits are small ( size of a small olive ) reddish, flesh is orange, not really juicy but more floury like a canistel inside. I did not taste it as I am not sure it is edible.

Hello Everyone, Any clue about the id of this eugenia ? It has been fruiting for the first time a few weeks ago, but just can't remember what it is. Ripe fruits are dark purple/black, similar but smaller than an eugenia brasiliensis. the bush/small tree is like 10 years old and looks like a jaboticaba but this is definitely an eugenia. Here are some pictures to give you a better idea. Any help welcome and thanks in advance !

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Myrtaceae ID please
« on: June 15, 2023, 06:05:20 PM »
Hello everyone,

I brought this myrtaceae from the Philippines but unfortunately I just cannot remember what it is. I bought it at a fruit nursery near laguna and I thought it was a psidium specie, but I am not sure, may be more a syzygium ? Anyway, it is a fruit specie and a myrtaceae for sure so if someone can help me identifying it, that would be nice. Thanks in advance !

Tropical Fruit Discussion / jaboticaba ? id
« on: October 06, 2018, 08:00:57 AM »
Hello,

That lovely tree has been fruiting many times but I am still not sure of what it is. Anyone could help me identifying accurately that myrtaceae, thanks. I have grown that tree from fruit seed bought at a local market in Paraguay ( near ciudad del este )years ago. The fruits can get big ( 3 times the size of a classic Jaboticaba ) although the fruit shown in the pictures is small. They taste good but differently from a classic Jabo.

Another artocarpus I lost id. Just can't remember what it is but it is not a bread fruit. Could it be a marang as well ? That tree is also about 4 years old.

Just got that one from a guy at the local market. He said to me he brought back the seeds from Fiji and it is a fruit tree? It is definitely not a matoa ( fijian longan ) but I just can't put an id on it . Any help and comments welcome.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Sugar Apple variety big red ?
« on: January 10, 2018, 05:08:38 AM »
About 3 years ago, I have bought 50 seeds of the " big red variety" from Adam, flying fox fruits nursery. Most of them have germinated pretty well and I have planted about 30 trees from those seedlings last year. This year (3 years later) I got most of them fruiting ( about 15 fruits per trees, hand pollinated for most of ) but unfortunately i can't see a single red one so far and most of are actually kind of purplish instead while a few are green or greyish and look pretty normal actually. I have planted last year a small sugar apple orchard among many others orchards with about 120 sugar apple trees. Most of the sugar apple trees I have planted in that orchard come from seeds I have purchased from different sources and countries over the years. I only have about 10 grafted trees ( seedless variety from the Philippines ) I brought back myself from the Philippines last year. Anyway, I just love that fruit and I am a little bit disappointed to do not have a single red one yet. May be the color is still going to change as they are still not fully mature yet. But right now they look purple to me and already got similar color variety in the collection. Anyway, will definitely know within a few weeks time but until then, please let me know what you think about it. Does that big red variety comes true to seed or not ? Here are a couple of pics to give you a better idea of what I am talking about.

A good friend of mine has just found that fruit tree visiting a farm in the north of New Caledonia. It seems to have been planted there years ago but no one at the farm knows who planted it , what it is and where it comes from. Anyone could help me identifying it ? Thanks in advance for your help and happy new year and best wishes to you all.

Just found that fruit tree today while I was having a tour in the forest. I just don't know what it is ? My friend told me it is a native fruit specie, but he does not know which specie. I have opened a fruit and it does not smell bad but I did not dare to taste it as I don't know what it is. Could be an eugenia specie ? There is quite a few native and endemic eugenia species in New Caledonia. However most of them have only an ornemental value. Anyway, if anyone got a clue or know what it is, please let me know, thanks in advance.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Theobroma grandiflorum first time fruiting
« on: April 21, 2017, 07:13:05 AM »
What a surprise to discover yesterday in our fruit forest that strange but lovely fruit . I was checking out for some chupa chupa when my eyes focused on that strange fruit in another tree behind. I completely forgot about those theobroma as they never fruited yet( planted about 20 years ago ! ) . So 20 years later, first time fruiting.... don't know if it is ripe or not. I have read that to be sure one have to wait the fruit to fall down. I also noticed two other smaller fruits on the same tree. Will plant the seeds for sure but was wondering if that specie can be grafted onto "classic" cacao ? Any tips and info welcome.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Artocarpus ?
« on: March 30, 2017, 07:14:36 AM »
As it happens sometimes, the label is gone and I just can't remember what it is. It is about 2m high, 3 years old, planted into the ground last year. It looks like an artocarpus to me but not sure. Any idea ? Thanks for your help !

Tropical Fruit Discussion / canarium sp ? from Vanuatu
« on: February 27, 2017, 03:35:24 PM »
Here are some pictures of a canarium specie from Vanuatu I have recently discovered at a friend's place. It might be named already but could not find any info about it. It is different from the famous Canarium indicum ( ngali nut ) from which one make Nangai oil . Canarium indicum is very popular in Vanuatu but that one is pretty rare which is surprising as I think the nut is more valuable and tasty compared to ngali nut.

Actually the seed is a lot bigger compared to Canarium indium and pretty tasty. You can eat while not yet fully ripe. The tree is not so big/tall, and makes a really nice ornamental. Flowers are amazing too.

Anyway if anyone has more info or know the right id of that specie, that would be great to know.
