I compare with srikaya raksasa.This soursop looks so different to what I have seen online before hey! Im glad I grabbed a few seeds from you! Madu means honey right? So im thinking nice and sweet:) Im interested to see if its growth habit is different to seeds from whitman soursop I have growing which is the most vigourous Annona seedling I have by a very wide margin:DHow is the fibre in the Sirsak madhu, how is the texture?

Old dutch gave it that name because they didn't like it. It's also called Durian Balando or Durian Belanda, nangka belanda , the old dutch also didn't like the durian.They preferred the "zoetzak" or sweet sack (or sweetbag) but now it is called sirsak madhu as i just learned from Beni.Maybe in S-Africa you also have those names because old people there also can speak Dutch or a version of it.

And it gives us peace and comfort. Buah sirsak madu tidak terlalu besar. Hanya seukuran genggaman tangan orang dewasa. Dan bentuknya bulat. Apabila kamu tertarik, saya bisa memberikan harga kepada kamu.

Thats Annona montana
Quote from: Soren on March 24, 2015, 03:03:18 AMThats Annona montanaAwesome that would be even better!I thought montana tasted bad though?Either way Im glad either a strange looking muricata or a good tasting montana or least likely but most exciting a hybrid between the two its a win/win/win situationIv been searching some indonesian sites and seems the term "Sirsak madu" refers to a spinless rounded annona similar to this one. From what I can glean it is rather appreciated so either it is muricata but has a strange form(awesome) or if not and its montanna(double awesome) then either they like the soapy taste or its a good non soapy montana:)I think it looks very very different from any muricata fruit Iv seen pics of I hope it really is montana!Too excited, I should have gotten more seeds from you Beni!

Wherever seeds sent a friend? I pray that there was no trouble in my submissions friend. Very difficult for you get many seeds from other country friend?
Yeah our post office is a dinosaur and a textbook case as to why parastatals in some instances should just be privatized:(Im sure I will get the seeds Beni its just a matter of how long I will wait! Iv received and germinated many recalcitrant seeds and a few garcinias:)It usually comes faster from Asia so hopefully soon! The only seed that never makes it ever is durian, Iv got high hopes for the Mundu and Annonas not usually a problem at all.Yay Im glad it is montana Im like the Ash catchim of the annona genus plants "gotta catch them all" but just starting on my journey:)

Stuart I am one year away from fruiting it so I will compare this Sirsak Madu to the the Mossad's Montana. So far the Sirsak Madu have similar characteristics of Muricata, we will see how fruit stack up! Mossad's Montana have white flesh while this Indonesian Montana have yellow flesh. It is no surpise that the Asian are more in tune with selection & improving the Annonacea once they leave the Americas; Keep me posted on your Annona progress.😄
