I have some cultivars, but cannot send scion at the moment due to covid situation..

Close to Vernon? I believe Vernon is C.edulis, Selck is C. tetrameria or at least a hybrid (it has wooly leaves).

My experience so far: Irregular bearer, rather shy producer, late season (Fall), fruit is yellow, taste is excellent, but perishable (more then other cultivars).

As far as I know it is self pollinating, like all other casimiroas, or am I wrong? 

Pictures of these:

Musa (ABB) 'Kluai Nam Wah'
Musa (AA) 'Kluai Leb Mu Nang'
Musa (ABB) 'Kluai Nom Mi'
Musa (AA) 'Klaui Hom'

Unfortunatelly plants are often not identified correctly in Thailand. Under the name "Namwah" I have seen several types...

Any update about this project?

Hi, you can claimed if seeds are rotten

i don't mean that they rot, but just dont germinate (i don't know if this is a problem in general with lakoocha, or only with the tree of my friend). Have you tried to germinate your lakoocha seeds?

Seeds arrived in only 7 days in Europe, faster then expected...
Thank you Richard! :-)

It is very popular in the Peruvian Amazon, where it is usually consumed as a sweet drink called aguajina, which is very rich and tasty.
The fruit has very high carotene and oil content. The raw fruit tastes likes olives IMO, it is not sweet...

The palm is probably the most impressive palm I have seen..

I don't know about the current EU regulations, but due to risk of importing pests to the fragil subtropical ecosistem, there have always been restrictive rules for the Canary Islands. The rules for impoerting seeds, plants or any material are the following: 1. you need a permit 2. you need a phyto 3. no soil 4. some spp. are completelly prohibited.

The reality is, that it is impossible to get a permit and if you get it, then the process at the customs take that long, that most plants and scions perish.

As a result everybody ignore the rules and import ilegal. In fact even big nurseries import whole containers with plants from Netherlands of Spanish Peninsula. I also know from a lot of people who also import seeds and scions in a small scale and I only heard once that a pack of scions was confiscated and destroyed by the customs. So it usually works, but there is a risk of getting confiscted..

I am not talking of Spain in general, but only Canary islands. If you compare regions in Spain, CI are the worst in terms of (school) education. In the (industrial) north, things are better. Here are also some very intelling and educated people, great researchers and horticultural aficionados, but unfotunatelly they are a little minority...

In my opinion the reason that we do not have a more intellectual society is the warm climate, which makes the people lazy... it's more fun hanging up at the beach, then reading a book...

Over the years I have tried to introduce tropical fruit and donated a lot of plants to many people, but its very hard to wake up the interest for new things. And when I explained the difference among cultivars, they mixed up the plants and lost the tags. One year ago I gave a friend 10 diffenrent labeled pitayas, told him to keep the labels so he could later identify them... one year later he does not have a clue which ones he did plant...   

This is an atemoya. Canarian people like to come up with names and make stuff up in order to sell something. Thats pretty common. 

Atemoya and there is no soursop in it. Soursop and Cherimoya don't cross.

Thats also my information...

You have to contact ICIA, not Cueva del Polvo 

Here is a contact list: https://www.icia.es/icia/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4628&Itemid=100290

I am pretty sure laurisilva is too cold for mountain durio and artocarpus. It is very good for temperate fruits, but not tropicals. Keep in mind, that Borneo is in the tropics and Canary Islands in the subtropics. I would try Borneo mountain stuff close to sea level in CI. the Climate range should be fine, but other factors could be a problem like air humidity, ph, salts, ect..

If you need help germinating seeds or growing stuff, let me know...

Thank you, yes, i was planning to contact Cueva del Polvo.

I have been in quite cold Borneo mountains ( T not rising above 11C for days un Feb), so i think the north or even the laurisilva might be better for the fruit of those areas than the south.
I would try all Artocarpus i can find, some might survive.

I have some questions regarding Diospyros blancoi:

- how is the taste/eating quality (I have heard there are many different types, from very bad to vare tasty)
- is this mabolo dioecious?
- how is the germination rate of mabolo seeds?
