This marang I picked up today is a giant with a large number of bulbs compared to many others. It is one of excellent taste.


This posting should be classified as torture!  :)

I have no clue about long term viability.
From web: do not let them totally dry out to keep them alive.

Glad to hear all good things about this fruit... I am planning to soak the seeds in Gibberellic Acid... does anyone have a reccomondation of the amount in ppms

I think, there is no reason to use Gibberellic Acid on muricata seeds,  same behavior like cherimola seeds.

I want to say, that living conditions affect genom - result is called phenotype, so each generation, especially, if plant grows in a bit different place than previous generation, has slightly different genom, so no matter how the seed was produced, even clones can be identical to mother plant, but not identical to grandmother plant.

In citrus at least this type of plants is labeled nucellar.
In polyembryonic mango seeds most of the seedlings would be clones of the mother plant. But clones don't offer the disease resistance of a wider gene pool.

Most of citrus varieties (there are only very few exceptions, like for example citrus grandis - pomelo) can produce  nucellar seedlings, which are as you said in fact clones of the mother plant.

and by the way:  we recognize phenotype and genotype! . So, I do not believe that seedling from heirloom tree is necessary identical (clone)  to its grandparent, because  genes are influenced by growing conditions for each generation.

Yes, you are right, I see it useful as something, which gives you energy, but has to be flavoured by something, to became more edible.

I ate avocado for several times, but so far, I do not find any reason, why people eat it and why it is so popular, especially in the US.
For me, this fruit is in my basket called "no reason to eat it again" together with tamarillo, kumquat, salac and papaya.

I hope, that I will find the source, where I can buy some saba senegalensis, or saba comorensis seeds finally.

Today I went to National Forestry Authority just outside Kampala and spoke with some of the researchers I know; here in East Africa there is now a growing focus on native fruit species and for that reason they have decided to work on improving 4 great fruit species. The species where selected based on several criteria, mainly their great taste and from Uganda the following were chosen for the programme;

1. Chrysophyllum albidum (White Star Apple)
2. Canarium schweinfurthii
3. Vitex doniana
4. Saba comorensis

Currently they have started selling C. albidum and C. schweinfurthii seedlings; soon the others will follow as well (Saba comorensis can be propagated by cuttings as well). I look forward to the trials starting within the next months and will keep everyone posted.

I read, that Saba comorensis pulp is extremely sour. Is it true?

It is ridiculous to think that you are trying to sell seeds and scions of a plant, and are basing the price of these seeds and scions on its presumed rareness, when in reality you have no idea as to what you've got. it makes absolutely no sense! 
......
The only accurate claim you can make with respect to this tree and its seeds is that it belongs to the Ice Cream Bean family of trees......That's It.  To claim that you know what it is, that it is "Inga striata", and to base the price of the seeds and scions on its presumed rareness and species, is absolutely Ridiculous and EXTREMELY MISLEADING.

I think that your reaction is a bit exaggerated,
first, the price is always the right of seller, so it is up on AnnonAddict to say, how much he wants, second, I think it is clear that it is not inga edulis or inga feuillei, two most common ingas outside Inga natural region. So, I think you can call his species rare in collections. And about the precise designation of this species. How many of forum members who sell some seeds are real botanists? How many of ebay tropical fruit seeds sellers are real scientists? And all of them are selling seeds under scientific names and we simply believe them.  ;)

Yes, I was wrong, Inga vera has a different seeds, your species is most likely Inga striata ( I got seeds years ago from Helton under the name Inga quadrangularis, I have a small plant)

Anyone else has info on this? Jim West provides very little info. I'm wondering about the growth rate and time to fruit? Here are my 6 months old, 3 little seedlings and picture from J. West's website. This is such an awesome looking tree in overall appearance!!




I had seedlings like yours few years ago from the same source of seeds, but all suddenly died, when I replant  them to a bigger pot. So most likely it has sensitive roots.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Wanted Saba senegalensis ( Madd, Kabaa ) seeds !
« on: January 13, 2014, 02:29:20 AM »
Many thanks for your offer! But according to scientific article about saba senegalensis seeds storage behaviour:
 "...temperatures close to zero elicit symptoms of chilling injury leading to rapid seed death. The optimum storage temperature is 15°C.... "

So, if you will have some fresh seeds in the future, please let me know, I am ready to buy them.

Thanks again

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Growing a Kumquat: Yay or Nay?
« on: January 12, 2014, 12:39:37 PM »
Kumquat has small leafs and miniature fruits and is usually eaten whole including peel. In the shop you can  usually buy Fortunella margarita aka "Nagami kumquat" fruit-  it has sour peel and sweet pulp. Fortunella crassifolia aka Meiwa kumquat has partly sweet peel, so it is sweeter than Nagami. Here you have more info about different kumquats:  http://users.kymp.net/citruspages/kumquats.html

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Weird germination pattern in Annona spraguei
« on: January 09, 2014, 04:15:25 AM »
Years ago, I read a study about seeds and seedlings social behavior. After experiments and  observations, authors stated, that there is some social behaviour, for example it looked like bunch of seedlings in one hole were able "recognize" their "siblings", so if the seeds come from the same fruit, there was no "infighting", but if the seeds were from different fruits/plants, they tried to overgrow each other and also roots "fought" for space.
