The Tropical Fruit Forum

RIP

Iam not worried at all about eating annona reticulata because of the low concentration of annonacin in the fruit. Soursop and pawpaw have the higher concentration also there are articles that say everything these articles will make you think youre going to die from oxalates after eating a starfruit. No! Fruits and veggies are the healthiest foods and they all have plant toxins . I have a pretty big San pablo tree- about 5 years old and its only producing 6 fruit so its really no concern.

As with all tropical fruit, theres a big difference between buying one online and picking it tree ripened. I have a san pablo tree with 6 fruits on it. Im checking each day to see when they soften on the tree. I’ll post pictures of mine once its ready. Its better than you described, ive had it before purchased from a local farm. Yes there is a lot of seeds but they are easy to take out

Definitely be careful . John Kohler’s house was searched for growing things (not illegal) in his house and neighbors complained.

Woah, $66, after shipping, for 2.5lbs?! Sorry for sounding cheap, but after that last batch, it's a little too much. I'll wait for your full review on the fruit and save the dough for the tree if it's worthwhile.

Thats where i got mine, but then it became unavailable. Sir graftalot go there right away and order now so you can taste this variety yourself

Ok no problem. So far i will say, classic brown sugar taste, minimal grit, i would recommend. The fruit are very small compared to other varieties

Wow i barely got any fruit this year and i have big trees

Heres the size so you can get an idea. I had one and it was good but ill post a full review soon once i try another

I ordered a Jamaica in January of 2024 and just got the call yesterday that it's ready to pick up.

Did you do anything special to arrange pickup?  They didn't have an option for that when purchasing but I wrote a note.  I live very close to Lara Farms so it's not worth taking the risk of shipping when my tree is ready.

Order from one of the online sellers mentioned above.  Sapodilla is so good.  It's not a fringe fruit that only a few like.

Omg thank you! The review we have been waiting for!

Coconut Cream did a detailed review of many sapodillas.  Lara Farms now sells variety boxes of sapodilla so you can decide what to plant.

Just learning about tropical fruits and varieties.  John you should start your own channel if you don't like Paul so we can have more content to watch 

He does pronounce some of the names wrong but what's important is the message.
