Maybe soon it'll fruit then hopefully...our ones in the ground took that long ..one or two fruits on the 6-7 years..then lots after that...they are so tasty...they should be more widely known...

looking for different types of fe'i banana cultivars..the deep orange fleshed ones...in the book (specialty crops for pacific islands) we see many kinds of fe'i from the Solomon islands...plus other carotenoid rich ones from Pohnpei.
in hawaii i only have seen the one type. im hoping someone has the others...maybe the wild seeded ones...

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Are Baccaurea sp. compatible with each other?
« on: August 14, 2013, 12:19:50 PM »
Hi
Will a rambai male pollinate a Mafai female or vice versa, how about tampoi? And B. Dulcis? Would the result be a possible new species?
I have many male trees of rambai,tampoi, and B. dulcis. Is it possible to graft females of other species on to males?

aloha!
my name is Micah and i love to grow and eat things that are from our earth. i live in waipio valley hawaii with my wife and two kids. we grow taro and over 100 tropical fruits and nuts.. im always trying to expand the garden with other pleasantrees. ive been surfing the net for years looking for sources of the rarities from around the world. i have a small seed permit for importing seeds to grow. i love the fact that we do a service to all mankind by growing these treasures to perpetuate them for future generations all the while eating healthy saving money and helping our earth/air/soil...seems to me a win win situations. i growing the seeds of the trees i feel worthy to spread out on the island. my family does a horseback riding trip by the orchards with samples sometimes as this helps spread the word of these tasty treasures.
