The Tropical Fruit Forum

I enjoy bananas stir fry in oil, butter n cinnamon, to me Orinoco and Blue java have the best texture for cooking. Out of hand raja puri, pisang ceylan and lakatan very sweet.

Is Scarlet Jaboticaba  the quickest to give flower from seed?

I had to stump a tree but want to let it grow back, is there anything i can paint on wound to protect it.

Seedling Jackfruit grown in container has malformation on roots, what could be the cause?

I have tasted that increased irrigation during ripening reduces resinous flavor also.

Id add jakfruit to the underrated list, but understandably so. Some cultivars mediocre on flavor and others are a pain to process the fruit out, but then you come across a easy peel absolutely delicious jak and doors to fruit heaven open.

“Peanut Butter Fruit”- Bunchosia argentea-  High fat content ,decent (excellent imo) balanced avocado peanut/sweet peas flavor, fruit production nearly year round, can be blown over by hurricane and uprighted no problems, very filling can give you the farts.

Muntingia Calabura fruits just about year round here, produces lots of small fruits

Blue java slightly bigger banana also


Namwah more tightly packed rack

I would Amend soil and correct ph prior to planting with soil acidifier, aim for 6-6.5ph.

Carambola does fruit in shade, but it seems to me that fruits from trees in full sun have slightly sweeter fruit. Maybe it is just perception on my part.

Science supports your claim, Stronger light intensity =increased photosynthesis= increased Glucose content in Fruit.
