i have fruited Tucum, and i believe there is no way possible the fat content is in the pulp.
it must be in the seed embryo, the proper way to enjoy them is to let them get full sized and green, then you can split them open and eat the inside of the seed, which is similar in texture/taste to coconut.
I guess there's some shit you just can't find in a book...it's up to some asshole like me to figure it out, and then post it here.
Maybe inside the seed is the higher fat content. A study says the pulp has a similar fat, protein and carb content to human milk putting it at 3-5% fat.
Adam, your selection is awesome! The blooms are completely wrapping the trunk. I think one of the best attributes of your selection is that it’s precocity and constant flowering help to keep the size of the tree in check. This would also make a great variety for Bonsai work.

(but i did see my friend's tree that I grafted about 6y ago, start to finally flower...a small, but nice trunciflora about 4ft tall with 3inch caliper, about to bust out with flowers all over...not something u see every day)
Adam, here is a picture mine from probably from the same batch. Your nice graft can still clearly be seen. It's the same height but with only a 1.5 " caliper. I'm encouraged that I might get flowers years sooner than I thought.
Great work Josh! Let us know how they taste.

That has not been updated yet. theplantlist.org is not even Kew's primary taxonomy resource.
Try http://plantsoftheworldonline.org/?page.size=120&q=plinia much slicker and up-to-date.
Plinia peruviana is now the accepted name for Jabuticaba de Cabinho, so P. trunciflora is a synonym.
nope
Just as medical doctors and lawyers and architects and industrial designers and so on aren't required to freely dispense the knowledge that has been costly for them to acquire, so it is with horticulturists as well. Just because you may be in one of those very profitable professions and regard "messing around with plants" as merely a fun hobby to share about and have competitions about, does not therefor make inappropriate someone else's reticence to give out their horticultural information upon which they are hoping to make a better living.
The adverse effects of losing exclusivity too soon to one's hard-earned techniques can be severe and swift. In economics, the band-wagon effect is very destructive.
As is industrial espionage. I witnessed a nursery, from one year to the next, go from selling about 10 thousands of grafted trees of one species, per year, to one or two hundred--- because a more conveniently located nursery paid an employee to teach them the technique.
Well put. I also know many have tried and failed with growing camu camu for many years. Most have given up. Some give up after a couple of tries, some after a couple of years. If I can find a way to profit and help with this on a large scale I will do everything I can. With that said, I will not hand over my "Playbook" after many years of trials, countless hours of research, and continuous product development.
As of right now, we are still about a year or so away from actual product deployment. Just as stated above, I will not make the same mistake an entire country made in the development of this fascinating fruit by selling to the market before I can determine a proper plan of action.
I will keep this post updated as much as possible in regards to information on progress and information that has already been posted in other areas with clarification.
I decided to harvest another one of my White Jades today so I can bring it over to Brads for sampling. This particular fruit was growing for approximately 7 months so the 6 month rule does not always apply. I harvested a fruit at 6 months and it wasn’t fully sweetened. For this fruit, I waited until The underside away from the sun, had yellow eyes all the way up and down the fruit.
After harvesting, the underside of the fruit looked a lot more green than I originally noticed right before I harvested it but I was worried about critters getting to it before I did so I took a chance. I’m hoping that this fruit will have a Brix higher than the 16% I got from my last Fruit. I’ll update with a taste report after we cut it open later. The fruit, with the top on, weighed approximately 3lbs 10 Oz so the fruit itself probably weighs about 3 lbs. here are some pictures

Nice setup, good to see some nice experimental rare fruit grove growers.
I hope the berries ripen before they freeze. I'm not worried about the trees freezing at this point though.
I wonder if anyone can verify if they had distributed budwood of Arka to South America (Peru) soon after it had been released?
I suppose Dream could have been a seedling of Arka that stayed true, I've seen this happen with some of the variable atemoyas that are not true from seed, like Lisa (48-26)...so every now and then you get a seedling that is just like the parent, or not much different, from a tree that normally produces highly variable offspring.
Wayne said he planted the original Dream from seed, and he's not a liar.
Hey Adam
Scions can get mixed up and varieties renamed by mistake it happens all the time but as I remember Dream was advertised as dream cherimoya which is absolutely false. This is clearly an atemoya whatever name you want to call it.
