Harvested some Suris...Not the tribe ;)

Hi ,

I harvested some Surinam cherries...

My Suri crops several times a year...I think the Surinam cherry are stimulated to produce when they get a good amount of water!

This is my winter crop...some of it






Who's cultivating them too...add pics if possible

Hi Felipe,

Your Suri looks super fine

Thanx for sharing

[FlyingFoxFruits]

tasted some suris today, and found that the red ones have a better resin taste.  In lorenzis book it says there is an orange type with firm flesh and sweet fruits that is somewhat rare.

looks like u got a real tasty one jackwhisperer..where did u get your tree??

seems like all the stuff near u is special, and never the normal type.  I wonder who is responsible for all of these unique plant introductions near u? 

where again are you near?  my geography knowledge is garbage, please forgive me!

thanks Bulldawg!

sometimes I feel a bit like rainman...able to do somethings with excellence, and at the same time, profoundly deficient in other important facets of everyday life.

I have a red variety (VERY resiny) and purple ones which are sweeter and have less resin taste. I much prefer the purple ones. Several people I know prefer the red.

That's what I like about tropical fruits... something for everyone, BUT, that also makes it hard to take someones advice on flavor!

Hi Adam ,

The tree was already planted when I came to the Island! I didn't know what this fruit was...I tasted it...It was an explosion of flavour...Never
thought that a small fruit will be so flavorfull!

There a guy in the Governmental nursey that is always importing new stuff to the Island! I have never seen a glance of him...He's very illusive and always hiding in them bushes

My parents are from here!   I have no clue if there is plant collectors here...they are very secretive!!

Hi Gnappi, Like the name...BTW

Yes, these red one is also very resiny! I like to eat when they are fully ripe and sweet!

I have also tasted the Purple/Black one...you are right, they are sweet and less resin taste! though If I eat an under ripe black suri...it tastes like burnt caramel!

I got several black suri seedlings that I wan't to fruit in a large pot!
