sloppy jakfruit , and hoping for some kwai-muks soon and maybe lakoocha very soon , Artocarpus rule in the tropics .
Cool stuff! has anyone heard of Cupuassu?.... I think that's how its spelt.....Theobroma grandiflorum.
About to plant out a few more of those , what a mouthfull , heard people say it and they turn it into 4 syllables .. car poo arse sue .. supposedly tastes very good .. amazing purple velvet new leaf , needs protection for a few years . Botanical Ark and Equatroial Exotics bot have them avlble . Also Theobroma bicolor or Mocamba looks amazing like a cantaloupe .. Intersting family my chocolates fruited in 3 years and I used some raw beans in xmas dinner treat mole negro i ate with turkey for main and with bananas for sweets .
Awesome aroideana,:y: thanks for the info. much appreciated. I have some small cacaos growing atm. I'd love to add more Theobromas! :nod:
Hi aroideana, just added the bicolor to my wish list!:nod: https://www.fruitipedia.com/mocambo%20Theobroma%20bicolor.htm I couldn't find listings on the www for any Theobramas at those two places that you mentioned. But I love some of the other tropical plants listed at Equatorial.:y:
Request a price list from Alan @ Botanical Ark .If you are local and get a reasonable order together you may be able to get them delivered to Mossman or cairns , . he might bring some stuff to the 'Feast of the Senses' at Innisfail coming up in a few months . Ring Chris@EE and ask ,often these rare items are so limited they do not make it onto the web site , also a mate in Cairns fruited his Mocambo about a year ago , he might have more this year .
Emailed them both for a price list. Thanks again. 'Feast of the Senses' sounds cool.......do you have details, maybe I could pack the girls in the car and mosey on up for a look...sounds like my cup o' tea! Alsooo, if your mates Mocambo fruits....could you let him know I'd love to trade cash or plants for 'em.:nod:
