Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / 2nd Alukon / Broussonetia Luzonica plant for sale $100 + ship

« on: August 15, 2017, 08:07:37 PM »

A 2nd plant is flourishing (no more) so reposting this
Plants can only be shipped out of Hawaii if potted in peat moss and most cuttings do not thrive in it. despite that was asked several times by Filipino for it, so when found a tree gave it a try. Out of 30 ....... 5 grew and out of which only 2 are flourishble enough to sell. = the outrageous price.
can purchse from link below ... Only US shipping - NO Shipping to addresses in the states of CA, TX, LA, AZ

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Edible Purple Air Potatoe/Dioscorea Bulbifera - specimen discussion request

« on: December 09, 2014, 01:24:09 AM »

I have found some semi wild Purple Air Potatoe/Dioscorea Bulbifera. its specs:
It has only green bulbifera leaves, small to big size air potatoes biggest is several pound, bulbils are smooth and rounded
Now the important part: The bulbils when raw are somewhat bitter and give intoxicating effect, BUT after boiling them they are NOT bitter. I ate a handful of the cooked and only feel a fraction of the intoxication caused by consuming 1/20 that amount of the raw.
In perspective in the past i encounter a bulbifera similar shape dont remember what exact colour, which after cooking was very very bitter and toxic the same as when it was raw.

So question :: are these to be considered edible or not.

By comparision of the two mentioned = this purple one is EDIBLE.
In a few threads people have said that when a edible air potatoes varieties end up in the wild, they turn bitter and toxic. Can anyone comment on that ? Can the reverse happen ie. a semi bitter variety in cared enviorment loose its bitterneess, and if yes then could anything help to speed/help that reversal??? I believe 100% that this specimen formerly a Edible type (or still is) or it would not have got to this island and be in the type of place where found it.

Please do not send PM for a bulb will, after confirming its edibility status - notify when put on ebay

the attachement button not show or would put the picture

Tropical Fruit Discussion / trying to identify a type of seemingly uncommon Theobroma

« on: November 27, 2014, 08:25:22 PM »

have looked thoroughly online of all the theobromas but havent found a match.

hello i have come across a fruit similar to Cupuacu/ theobroma grandiflorum though not the same. trying to find its name. the fruit is the same looking as Cupuacu though from the description i read of Cupuacu the difference with this are Cupuacu is sweet/sour, and strong smell while this one is not sour only very sweet, and no smell, seems more wet then Cupuacu and the leaves are totally different . attached are photo of leaves and fruit. dont know about cupuacu seeds but the seeds of this one have very hard shell need hammer. inside fatless white, taste is unpleasent bitter, seed is not edible
