Tropical Fruit Discussion / Freycinetia spp.
« on: October 01, 2018, 03:16:16 PM »
I was recently exposed to the Freycinetia genus (from Pandanaceae), and on reading a little further I gather that there are a few species that are edible. Freycinetia banksii (Kiekie) in particular, which can grow from subtropical to temperate climates.
Does anyone have any experience with these flowering Pandanus species? Growing, eating or otherwise? Are there other edible Freycinetia spp.? I'd like to grow some of the F. banksii... unfortunately I can't find anything outside of New Zealand, with no option for international shipping.
If anyone knows where to acquire seed or plants, any info would be appreciated.
