Feast your eyes on a days' collection.

I went to the Mossman area with my brother today and threw the fruit we got on the table with some from yesterday afternoon. We got more than expected but no durians or jackfruit (only jack x chempa). There were a few gems in this assortment.



We did bag some good Garcinias







There was a large Durio dulcis bagged



And other interesting stuff was seen along the way.

I ate some achachas off this tree yesterday and they were pretty good but the fruit of the 2 Ecuadorian Garcinias I had today were sweeter and tasted better.

Cool bro, I kindly envy you. I look out the window of my house and see only this on the street ...

[Mike T]

Almost forgot about the big fruited kepel. There were hundreds on the ground beneath the tree

Sergey I cant even imagine that type of cold. On big chill winter mornings in Cairns people dress like Arctic explorers at 15c minimums. At 6.42pm at my place right now it is 31c so quite pleasant but it would be nice to have it 10c cooler. The humidity in the tropics rather than temps is what you feel most.

What a haul Mike!

I'm really jealous now..... how do I get seeds from you? Especially the garcinias??? ; )

[RollingInTheWeeds]

Thanks for sharing such good pictures of amazing, different looking fruit than I've ever seen!

It may be hard to see the 2 species of inga and 2 species of Baccaurea. The red and especially orange cambogias are not common. Compare Garcinia dulcis and russell sweet.

I recognise the man in the photo wow didn’t realise he had so much awsome stuff. I tried my first achacha from the Mossman market yesterday and I though they were great, at least as good as mangosteen but different.

That is just some of the collection that is ripe now. The Mossman markets were very expensive yesterday and they overcharged for everything. I bought nothing there.
