The Tropical Fruit Forum

A few years ago I received seeds from Mike T of an Australian Caimito selection from an Australian government agricultural center called DPI ,  I approach grafted to the stump of a regular Caimito that I cut down to take advantage of the adult roots in order to provide more vigor to the DPI Gold seedling ,well this year flowered for first time and to my surprise hold many fruits , in the picture of Mike they have a Copper/pink color and relatively large size , I noticed this morning a couple have change color from regular green into a kind of different green but the difference was noticeable , I touch one and was very soft so I decided to give it a try even if hasn't the gold /copper color in the Mike T pictures , I opened with a knife and share half with my wife who minutes before was getting ready to snack on a carrots cake , upon opening the fruit I noticed very few látex who look very watery and diluted ,I touched with myself lips and didn't noticed the regular sticky lips , when trying the flesh I was really surprised of how sweet it was ! I had tried several different Caimito before but they were just OK with a mild flavor , this DPI Gold was super soft flesh ,not firm at all kinds of fluffy and juicy , the flavor was of diluted condensated milk with honey ,I found a late notes of sweet Soursop , this fruit had 0% acidity , it was a real surprise to me ,this sweetness in Caimito , the skin is very soft and tin after eating the fruit , I'm going to wait more days before I cut another to see if the color change like the ones Mike post here in the forum , I'm grateful with Mike T for sharing the seeds of this delicious fruit with me .as a side note my wife after eating one Caimito decided to decline the carrot cake for later 🤣🤣

I came across an interesting fruit from the north of Mexico call Papaches (Randia echinocarpa) never heard of it before til someone post them on Facebook, they are from all the pacific coast and up to 1000 masl.
So apparently can be grow in different climates, when in season is very sought after and people cut them from the hills and take them to the main cities to sell them, the flavor is very sweet with some bitter notes, and people say the more you eat the bitter is less perceived, I guess something that happens with coffee too, they taste a bit like burn sugar in the flan desert, they are mainly sough after because studies have found them very medicinal against cancer and good for greasy liver, kidneys and other illness, also people put the pulp inside a glass of water for a while and then drink it saying the taste is very refreshing and they can drink water very satisfying after doing this. The fruit itself looks kind of shocking being something like prehistoric shape.

Hi guys I found a single tree among hundreds yellow ones who sets orange color fruit of excellent taste, the taste is kinda in your face very sweet with a nice tart ending, flesh is a darker tone of yellow than the regular one and also a bit more firm, the skin is also harder and don't get soft as the regular one which makes me think due to this it could be excellent for commercial uses as has long shelves life with no bruising
