Hello everyone
In a recent trip to Central Africa Republic I found Myrianthus arbóreas for sale in a local market. Also known as the Giant Yellow Mulberry more for its looks as the fruit are not like the mulberry. Instead it the fruit break up more like a jack fruit but with less edible flesh. The leaves are also edible and harvested locally.
The other two fruit species are from Nuba Mountains in Sudan.
Baobab, Adansonia digitada
This is the northern variety of the Baobab which is isolated from its East African relatives known for its higher flesh to seed ratio (see this link
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257567558_A_note_on_baobab_Adansonia_digitata_L_in_Kordofan_Sudan ) . The dry flesh can be disolved in water and makes a delicious and medicinal, slightly sour, drink.
Hyphaene thebaica. Known as Doum or the Gingerbread palm
This palm fruit has very fiberous flesh the taste is like gingerbread. It is sold in the markets locally as it is popular to chew on. The seed is quite large.
Myrianthus $2/seed
Baobab $1.5/seed
Doum Palm $2/seed
Plus postage
I would be willing to trade and am interested in Jaboticata vatrieties, Mamy Sapote and many other fruit!
