Mission completed? Or lack of nutrients,  excessive water.. pics?

Pond Apple, Rio Cuasa, Ecuador

maybe this helps? It did have smooth skin, photo may have tricked the eyes. Not the best video but more to look at for sure.

It seems like what pond apple is described as but definitely tastes good, ive never had any other pond apple, it is the later part of the dry season and is growing in heavy clay soil. Cant say I have much else for info. Possibly just that some things seem to grow very well in ecuador? The bananas are most delicous ive had being just a tad better than in hawaii, but the specifics of soil, grower, cultivar etc make all the difference.

   so I was giving the name tootie fruitie which led to obvious mixed results online aanyone know alternate names or botanical name? Thanks!

Pond Apple, Rio Cuasa, Ecuador

Lol oscar, no but I really would like to add columns to it like from my rainfall and temps and get others to contribute. I could put up 40 moringa seeds and orange watermelon..

Lol looks like we had the same idea about the same time!
 Here is a yojtube chan el reviewing
buyadurian.com                         a durian
earthsource.us                          mamey sapote
goodlandorganics.com            dragon fruit and caviar limes
southcoastorganics.com         cherimoyas and white sapote

Here is my collection of mail order fruit providers, I included video reviews of the top ones.

1. Durian
2. Mango
3. Lognan
4. Mamey sapote
5.  Imma leave it open until later..

I know of the crfg list with minimum temps but I wish it had desired rainfall and optimal temps, which I understand is a bit of work but also fun and worth it id say. So here is my list so far if you can add some fruits and possibly annual rainfall, optimal tempuratures and other useful info, but keep it a bit short, or make it long! Forgive sloppiness im on a tablet travelling currently.

Also please mention if I double named anything and your favorite cultivar if you can!  Thanks!

If anyone wants to snatch some from here for marangs etc, iused up my page limit cuz its a worthwhile book to look in.

 Google books for tropical fruits volume 2 if that link isnt working for you.

Thanks, there seems to be broken link or removed content for the germination book and perennial edibles link. Thanks again though I really liked most of them from what I skimmed through!

I am new here, my name is Jason. I am in ecuador trying to find ideal land to grow fruits of a wide variety. I eat mostly fruit and some greens n sometimes potatoes n soup. Locals think im crazy but thats nothig new, been raw vegan for 4 years. It led me to fruit love and to moving to the tropics. Recently I realized ive become a hippie pretty much. I was from the united gates, and im addicted to durian, I wish I never tried it because it makes other fruits less amazing by comparison, but its too late now.

Im also a Master Herbalist, into natural healing, love aquaponics and permaculture, been reading as a guest for a year and lots lately so I joined and ill hit you with questions I havent found results for in the search sometime soon... I like your place here thanks for keeping it alive and growing fruit!
