Tropical Fruit Discussion / Jujube Fruit at FoodTown
« on: January 27, 2014, 03:12:51 PM »
I got some Jujube fruit an hr ago at FoodTown in Davie, FL.  It's the green variety.  I'm told its not as tasty as the red one but since I have a couple years to wait for my red tree to fruit, its close enough to hold me till then.



I don't know how often this is available in South Florida.

« on: January 21, 2014, 10:18:42 PM »
Had this egg fruit for the first time today.  Quite good.  I understand it is a tropical that well adapted to zone 9 and 10 growth regions.  This fruit gave up 5 large, "thumb-to-the-knuckle" sized seeds.



In addition, I have to trade:

Soursop seeds
Ackee seedlings  6-8"
Jackfruit Seedlings  12"
Jamaican ginger
Scotch Bonnet pepper plants 6-8"

Prefer rooted scions over seeds but will take most rare stuff.

PLANTS I WANT:
==============
Abiu Pouteria Caimito
Eugenia dombeyi (Brazilian Cherry)
Fagonia cretica
Tylophora hirsuta
Litchi chinensis (Lichi)
1000 Finger Bannana
Syzygium cumini - Java Plumb
Stelechocarpus burahol - kepel fruit
Theobroma grandiflorum - Cupuaçu fruit
Mountain Soursop (Annona montana) Annonaceae
Soursop (Annona muricata)
Pedalai (Actocarpus Sericicarpus)
Muscadine Grapes (Vitis rotundifolia)

Anyone have an idea what this plant/fruit tree is:



Bears a little black berry in bunches.  Found growing in neighbor's yard after he bought the house.  Birds ate it so I gave it a try.  Pretty good!

« on: January 06, 2014, 04:49:01 PM »
I have a few extra seedlings of Jamaican Soft Ackee to trade 8-10".   Typically, the cooked Ackee fruit has a firm texture.  This Soft Ackee is a distinct variety of the Blighia sapida that when the fruit is cooked it is soft in eating texture. Below are the plants I want.  However, I will take other things not listed that are tropical...except Durian! :-X

Here is my list of plants I'm looking for:
===========================
Abiu Pouteria Caimito
Eugenia dombeyi (Brazilian Cherry)
Fagonia cretica
Tylophora hirsuta
Litchi chinensis (Lichi) - air layer or Graft
1000 Finger Bannana
Syzygium cumini - Java Plumb
Stelechocarpus burahol - kepel fruit
Theobroma grandiflorum - Cupuaçu fruit
Mountain Soursop (Annona montana) Annonaceae
Annona muricata - tree
Pedalai (Actocarpus Sericicarpus)
Allspice Tree (Pimenta dioica)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Durian: Smells Putrid...Tastes Awful!
« on: December 24, 2013, 07:49:59 AM »
I am currently on vacation in St Petersburg florida where I happened upon a vietnamese grocer who had frozen durian for sale..  after all the durian talk I read in this group, I forked over the $9 odd for a small fruit.  I was warned by the shop cleark that "it smels bad but tastes good".

After thawing I cut it open and it seems to work like a jackfruit. It did smellbad but it tasted god-awful!!
Has anyone had this experience with frozen Durian but loved fresh?

I need to be clear, this was a whole durian fruit.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Why Did Air Layer Fail on Soursop (Annona muricata)?
« on: November 18, 2013, 06:43:50 PM »
Why did my air layer fail?

 I setup 5 air layers on a neighbor's Sour sop tree and 3 of the five began to die 3 weeks later while still on the tree.  I separated 1/2 - 1" of the phloem tissue from the xylem the branches ranged from 1/4" to 3/4" in diameter.  I have air-layered several times before on different species.  However, this is the first time I attempted it on Annona muricata.
