Tropical Fruit Discussion / banana bow?
« on: December 27, 2014, 05:25:52 PM »
Hi all just wondering if someone could tell me if banana bow is a plant or vegetable or if anybody has even heard it. My uncle got one from a Vietnamese man and was told it is used as a vegetable digging up the rhizome and cooking it like potato but to me it looks like a maroon banana plant. Just wondering if anybody could shed some light on what type of plant it is. Regards

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Pitomba leaves, need help.
« on: August 28, 2014, 02:24:43 AM »
Hi, just wondering if anybody might have an idea of what's going on with my pitomba.
The leaves keep turning brown from the tips and dieing back about half the length of the leaf and then seems to stop. Some have gone a real light greeny white and looks like cell damage probably from the cold  but just wondering anybody's thoughts. My other pitomba is going fine so could it be a nutrient problem or maybe just some sort of disease.

Regards Don

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / wanted e. cereja e. calycina seed for sale
« on: July 06, 2014, 11:37:01 PM »
Hi, new to this forum and to growing eugenias was wondering wether anybody could point me in the direction of someone who could sell me some e. Cereja e. Calycina or e. Involucrata seeds and post to australia. Trying to get my eugenia collection growing as I already have black and yellow grumichamas and pitomba and one rio grande cherry, but cannot get any other species in australia. Any help or information would be much appreciated as I really like these eugenias but cramped by the limited access to different types in australia. 
Regards Don
