Wow! It's really a beautiful tree, has anyone tried the fruit?

Felipe and Alex decided in a different thread this was the endangered annona conica (aka raimondia conica/raimondia quinduensis var. latifolia), if this is so, the fruit is edible, but usually rather bland.

Sorry, I got excited and forgot to do a search, although there was not much information on the following thread, either:

Luc, you seem to have been growing a strychnos held in a, shall we say, lower esteem. The fruit is of very low quality and the plant is much higher in strychnine other monkey oranges, as a whole. Possibly the best edible species is strychnos cocculoides (common monkey orange), which is very large and high in fiber, but worth every bite, possibly with the juiciest pulp of the monkey oranges. Another great monkey orange is strychnos madagascarensis (black monkey orange), a small fruited species with a bright orange coloration, unlike the golden color of the common monkey orange, with the much better trait of edible seeds. A porridge made from the pulp can be stored for up to three years.

That is so cool! I look forward to seeing it all finished. Trying to find facts about Anonidium's other than mannii will be hard!

Thanks! For now I think I will stick to annona and the genera that have merged with it, that should keep me busy for a good while, however, as species become scarce I may include others such as anonidium and similar genera (annona subfamily???).

No, it does not say this, perhaps you were mistaken?

I do not see any "I want seeds!" box. Just box "subscirbe" some newsletter.

Directly underneath the “enter your email” bit of the “subscribe,” in bold letters there are the words “seed savers,” with a checkbox labled “I want to know when you are sharing seeds.” Subscribe and check this box, or if you are already subscribed, go to preferences.

Cool!  I'm still stoked that you found a pawpaw 

So am I, and who wouldn't be ? I am hoping to see flowers on the tree next spring, but I am not sure if they'll produce, there is only a single tree, although there are several suckers growing within a few meters of the main tree, I am not sure if this is sufficient for cross pollination, or, frankly, if the tree even needs cross pollination.

My newest blog posting: The Annona Files! Part one in a series of in-depth annonformation.

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over our addiction to tropical fruit trees .
Step 2: We expressed a desire to stop planting.

Step 2 isn't hard, I have all the plants I originally wanted, funny how things turn out. Rather dissapointing, too, I hoped to suffice with a few large pots scattered throughout the house, dreamt of picking cherimoyas from an dwarf indoor tree… *sigh* Then this forum came along and changed my perception of everything. How much I wish I hadn't bothered, just walked away happily with my sofa, tv, and microwave and been left alone. I can say one thing, and that I may have been able to get a flicker of recognition from people when I discussed my deepest desires (then it was a lychee). Now the entire internet gives me barely that, sonetimes failing me. Suddenly I am spending hundreds of dolkars I don't even have on rare tropicals, this is not a mentally healthy obsession, and I strongly advise any newbies to turn in their places and walk away immediatly.

Thanks, Plantlover! Roy, I sent you a PM.

Yea, Matt says in the description this is a picture of B. Armeniaca beacause he hasn't a picture of B. Argentea. Thanks for the seed description, they are not exactly elliptical, although rounded, not exactly spherical.

The last one I originally believed to be dialium indum, but the seed throws me off, everything to the fruit shape and flavor description is in line, could you possibly post pics of a cut fruit?

Impressive list! Contact me via PM or E-Mail.
