Tropical Fruit Discussion / Inca Gold found?
« on: October 02, 2020, 11:43:38 PM »While grabbing a few fruit from around a few haunts this morning I almost overlooked something interesting.
Not the golden soursop
Big passionfruit or Russell's rollinia
But an abiu with virtually no latex, yellow very tasty flesh and a spherical shape. Although small the tree had not been looked after. Gray that Whitman spoke fondly about, the ass kicking Z4 and Z2 and even E4 can still be found here from collections originally made in Colombia and other places over 40 years ago. The best selections from those collections actually became those elite types but inca gold that was mentioned by a few people of that era and those events was lost. I was told it was yellow fleshed and basically like that in the picture and it was forgotten who grew it and what became of it.
