Sorry for reusing the same image from a different thread, but wanted to see if anyone knew what type of papaya this is. It's a very sweet, seedless, non-smelly, but small (grapefruit-sized) fruit.

Also, any ideas as to the seedless part? I read that this is most likely due to being females with no pollination, but usually the flavor is subpar on those, Not the case on this one.

Looking to buy a Garcinia dulcis plant in South Florida.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jaime

I just tasted some Sea grapes for the first time and thought they had a pretty interesting and distinctive flavor. Something like tamarind, but not as sour. Once they get a little overripe they take on a musky flavor which is still OK, but definitely may put some people off.

Seems like you can do a decent wine with them.

Anyone know how long these take to fruit from seed? I know they are dioecious.

Thanks,
Jaime

Quararibea funebris (Rosita de Cacao) seeds available. Cost is $5 for 5 seeds, plus shipping.

The flowers are used in the traditional Mexican drink called tejate.

Not sure how long these are viable for so please PM if interested.

Thanks,
Jaime

I plan to visit Vero Beach in early May on vacation. Are there any tropical fruit places to visit in the area? Do we have any forum members there that may have plants to sell or trade?

Thanks,
Jaime

Hi,

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of mangoes and all of them have 2 interesting characteristics. One is that the seed is invariably cracked open within the fruit, and the other is that they all have these "hairs" which look like ingrown hairs. It looks as if though the seeds had started to germinate within the fruit, those hairs being the start of the roots. This may or may not be unusual, but I don't remember seeing it on mangoes before...



Jaime

Does anyone else's peanut butter fruit's leaves ever look like this?

My grumichama has looked chloritic for about a year now, although I've fertilized it with 8-3-9 and iron supplements. It is in a partly sunny location, about 20% sun.

Any ideas on why it is in a perpetual chloritic condition?

Hi,

I will be attending a conference next week in Los Angeles. I'm looking for nurseries or individuals that sell rare tropical fruit plants. I will try and visit Ben Poirier if time allows, but if anyone knows of any other places to check out please let me know.

Thanks,
Jaime
