Hey Shane, that’s awesome, I’m starting to really like Surinam Cherries. Mark Lee/Jim Neitzel’s thick leaf Surinam is also a very large fruit. It’s as big as a 50 cent coin but I don’t have the exact measurements. Patrick’s selection looks very promising and I’d love to get a cutting in the future. Please keep us updated on the progress of this tree. I would love to see some pictures of the fruit along with Brix readings in the future! Simon
Will keep y’all posted. It actually could be the same as that thick leaf one. He can jump in and clarify.[/qHi Shane , it probably is the same as Jim's thick leaf as I got seeds in a seed swap of 7 varieties all at the same time and from 6 different people I do have at least 4 or 5 very distinct looking/shaped leaves and some really great fruit
Very interesting size and named fruit, come on Patrick you can come up with a better name for sure!!All kidding aside please do keep us informed when that baby fruits Shane!!

I called Patrick. The one I have is a seedling of the so called thick leaf.
. . . I was also eating some from my neighbors hedge. You have to be patient for them to get as red as possible.

You have to be patient for them to get as red as possible.True, but you have to stay on top of them since once they are fully ripe they fall off the bush!Sometime I can knock them loose by just lightly tapping them from below and catching them n my hand before they fall to the ground, but mine still have that sort of turpentiney taste, even when they are completely dark red.I'm told that if you put a bowl of them in the 'fridge overnight that that off-flavor goes away and the taste is then a lot nicer.JM2¢w . . .Paul M.==
