Trade matisia seed
« on: September 05, 2022, 05:31:25 PM »
My tree made its first fruit and got taste it today. The flavor was good like sweet pumpkin and the flesh is very juicy. There were 5 seeds but 4 of them were aborted, only one seed is plump. This is a selected variety from Frankie's nursery called "dulce". Open to trades, mostly looking for species of plinia, myrciaria, and garcinia. The tree has a few more fruits that will be ready soon so I may have more of these to trade.

Aloha Zack

Congrats it’s a great one to have, ive eaten it and other varieties in costa rice and Colombia. This one Frankie has I would rate the best quality. the fruits vary a lot in quality from seed. I’m guessing you purchased a grafted tree? How big Is your tree?

Yup.  He grew 20 to fruit and chopped 18-19 and kept the one that was good.  Props to Frankie for putting in the work all those years ago to let us have top notch plants!

Thanks Ben Mango, yea I was impressed by how much I liked the fruit. Tried it years ago on Big Island but don't remember it tasting that great. The tree I have was grafted and bought from Frankie's. Been growing about 4 or 5 years and still only 5ft tall.
