Here is another one :

I took the fruit ( not yet ripe ) and a flower ( superb ! ). The tree is not that tall ( about 3m high )

not a soursop for sure. I reckon it is a sapote but which one ? Anyway, soon or later it should fruit and then I will know what it is. Thanks for your help and will keep you updated.

nope it does not have milky sap. Here are a few more pictures :

Here is a picture of the fruits, flowers and leaves.

It is a friend of mine who got that tree. She is supposed to keep me informed when fruiting. I will post pictures of the fruits. She said they look like cherries ?

Dear Friends,

I am in Vanuatu at the moment and internet is really bad here. We are lost in the middle of no where…lol I will be back home in New Caledonia this coming week end and I will take some time to write and post a brief report about new caledonian endemic fruit species as many of you emailed me to get info and seeds. Briefly I would say that we have many very interesting and kind of unique fruit species in New Caledonia including some that have not been discovered yet for sure, they look quite spectacular for some of them, but fruits are not really good and tasty in general… except may be for a couple of them. The main problem is that most species/areas/biotops are locally protected now and it is then complicate to get access to some of them in the wild. The positive point is that due to the mining industry, and their impact on the biotops, many local nurseries are now into multiplying and saving endemic flora including many of those fruit species. So I can get access to some of them just visiting a couple of specialized nurseries I know pretty well. More infos this week end. All the best, Vincent.

could be that plinia sp. I ordered from Oscar I think.

A tropical/subtropical fruit tree I have planted about two years ago. Bought from local nursery but lost the name/ id label.
Any help to identify it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

It comes from Sri Lanka. Fruits bought at a local market. A friend of mine brought me back some seeds and some of them have germinated. Problem is that I am not sure about the id. I think it is a flacourtia specie, but which one ? any help welcome, thanks in advance.

Hi all.  I am Vincent, I am 42 years old, married, one daughter and living in New Caledonia ( S.W Pacific ). I own and run a fishing company and I have been diving/collecting seashells for many years. About 6 years ago my wife and myself have bought a beach front property south of Noumea  where some fruit trees were already planted. Huge mango trees, pomelos, guavas, various citrus, avocado, etc… I was not into fruits at all before, but a few years ago my wife wanted to get a goji plant. So I went to all the local nurseries but was unable to get her one as the specie simply could not be found in nc. Hard to believe but true….So I went to the internet to buy one and by the way I discovered web sites offering so many different fruit seeds, trees etc.... I was just amazed to see how many different fruits exist. I made a first order online, ordering "classics", then a second, a third, etc… and 6 years later I am just crazy about fruit trees…lol .I own now about a hundred different species and subspecies and I just run out of space. Most of the species I acquired over the last 2 years are still in pots and I am now looking for some more land ( not sea shore anymore, but more in the forest…lol ) to plant more and more different fruit trees. I am also into bees now and I am thinking about creating an orchard/collection in a really nice place more in the mountain to show to the public, including hives, bungalows to accommodate tourists, etc...  I'm new to the forum but have been lurking for a while picking up great information and making great new contacts. I am also always interested by new species/subspecies/varieties I still don't have. I mainly buy but can also trade a few things including an endemic fig specie which is really tasty. If you come over to New Caledonia, please do not hesitate to contact me, it will be a pleasure to show you my collection. All the best, Vincent, vitiga@canl.nc

Hello,
I can supply fresh seeds and scions of Ficus habrophylla. It is an endemic fig tree of New Caledonia. Tasty reddish fruits and superb tree with large dark green leaves.
Don't know how to insert pictures here but I can email pictures of both fruits and tree on request to your email address for those who would be interested.
Trade only against other seeds and/or scions of tropical and subtropical fruits I don't have or in limited number in my collection.
