Hi to all

I can't find anywhere info on how long it takes before a cassabanana has any flowers or starts fruiting.  Can someone help me on that?

Thanks

Not a SA but why don't you use fedex or UPS instead if the post office sucks so bad?

Thanks for the advice.  I will find out with them if they can help me and what the price will be.  I just think it is going to cost a lot of money.  It was already expensive to post with the post office.

I am in on Cassabana seeds, any quantity you want.  I want stamvrug and red ivory seeds. Lets talk by PM.

Hugs

It is fine with me.  Send me a PM and I will reply.

I've sent you a PM already.  Regards

Fruitaddict have you tasted the stamvrug? Looks very interesting:)

It is really nice.  It is sweet and sometimes I will choose it over marula (at least it is easier to eat the pulp from the seed than the marula).  The skin has a milky latex like figs.  The pulp is pink close to the skin and whitish close to the seed.  I was only able to buy one small bag this year.  I think you will know the size of the bag if I compare it with the size of the bags they sell the marulas in.

If it does not kill them they will $hit bricks!

It will be interesting to find somebody that actually had success with this.

This actually a really old trick. Cruel as hell, but it works. In England they'd mix the crete with anything sweet. Preserves the corpse of the rat somewhat, so expect to find mummified rancid dead rats everywhere.

So they won't smell either?

Thanks jegpg1.  Does jackfruit compare to sweet potato or potato in cooking?

hahaha - You sure made me laugh!!

Hi to everybody
My father-in-law gave me a passion fruit seedling a while ago.  He said it is a new kind that is adapted for a specific region in South Africa.  The area that it grows in is extremely hot and dry in summers.  The winters again are extremely cold with rain and snow on higher areas.  As far as I know the soil in that region is sandy and not rich.
We planted the seedling.  It grows very well.  Our soil is also not very rich, but very rocky.  We get summer rainfall and our winters are very dry.  In the winter it is hot during the day, but some nights can get very cold - giving us a layer of ice on our sheep's water and dog's water.  Currently it is winter.  I only water this passion fruit once a week to once in every two weeks and then it is not buckets full of water.

Just look at the size.  The yellow passion fruit grows together with the purple one and get the same amount of water.

I agree with Nicky on this one.  I'm dying to try one, but it is nowhere to be found in South Africa.  We envy you.

Thanks guys  , I knew I could count on you to give me some great info.  This forum is really great to get info real fast.

dragon fruit is a vine cactus

Hahaha.  We were discussing this same thing this morning at breakfast if I should include dragon fruit on the list or not - if it will be seen as a vine.  Thanks, now I know for sure.

Hi Jackfruitjacky

I am looking for some of your Gac seeds.  I am from South Africa.  What do you like to trade it for?

Thanks
