Mike says... Lucy you are very clever.It is actually a duku-langsat rather than a langsat but that is a minor infringement.Purple yam was what I was going to photo but the others muscled in when they saw the camera.Have a look at the shape of that flattened black sapote.The passionfruit are about 4 to the kilo and probably derived from red panama. | About the Author Cairns 11th May 2012 5:59pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Mike, The flattened black sapote looks good. I never notice on the shape of a black sapote. Next time I will keep an eye on this variety. Yes, the passion fruits are huge I know because they are as big as a mango. I am not good in buying passion fruits. I always assume that they fill with juicy bit but half of the time some fruits are emptied inside so I must pay attention on the weight next time. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE 11th May 2012 8:03pm #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Sigh...the best part about Rusty's used to be the Pub and the live music Mike..? I guess it's all gone now..? I used to go to the markets every w/end 94-98 maybe..? What a voyage of discovery it was for me then. Definately kick started my interest in Asian veg and herbs - and some tropical fruits (not many there then tho?) I liked the vendors the best..? :) Good fun. Cairns was good fun then. I was young then too. ;) But - get stuck in, in Viet, MaryT?? Not just the fruit either? What else does Vietnam do well? :) (Pho soup for one!? My favourite soup of all...it's awesome and I make it nearly every week now - I crave it so much!?) And the Shakey Beef, steak tartare..hmmnnn..I can't wait to hear about your trip MaryT...? :) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 11th May 2012 11:53pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Hi Mike, they had a segment on Qld Weekender on tv on the weekend about rustys market, I was impressed! They showed a very posh hotel nearby (can't think of the name), anyway, they showed the large bedroom. The large king-size bed had 3 pillows on it?

MaryT says... I've never had yellow mangosteen but if it's like persimmons then yes, I think they would have potential as jam makers. I'm off to our boring produce market; I shouldn't say that as they do have some interesting stuff if expensive. Nothing tropical, of course but good varieties of mushroom, potatoes etc.

David says... Hi all,i remember aabout 5yrs ago there was a news paper article about this chap up your way Mike who had gone overseas and brought back seeds from his holiday ,it turned out that some of the seeds were of a type of yellow mangosteen, most turned out to be sour as all hell, but one was very sweet and he planned to propagate from it ,thats as much as i know since then , maybe you managed to source one of the sweet ones Mike | About the Author David Brisbane 19th May 2012 12:44pm #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... David I don't have any sweet ones and never tried the fruit.Those in the picture are just sweet sour not sour G.xanthochymus.G.dulcis is a very similar slightly smaller sweet/sour type.About 18 years ago a fellow I met as few times and was a photographer mentioned his orchard and fabulous yellow mangosteen.His name is Russell Francis and is a pleasant and happy fellow whose pictures were often used in newspapers.I was young and stupid then and did not pursue it.I'm old and stupid now and fruit enthusiasts told me of this fabulous tree and type and it is ringing bells.I just asked them to get some fruit for me if they had the chance.I don't know what species it really is. | About the Author Cairns 19th May 2012 2:29pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I have more space than that Mary, but growing more fruit trees would only mean lots more water. That is something we are short of in WA - and it has become very expensive. Now it looks like we will be getting recycled sewerage in our water.

amanda says... So true Julie..throw enough water around and u can grow LOTS! :D I hope that WA will get some permanant 'support' from the National coffers for this ongoing climate change in WA. Especially considering that WA does provide most of the cash for such a good standard of living all round. My insurance premium just cost an extra $200 to support the QLD floods this year, after all ;-) Succession I say!? lol... | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 21st May 2012 9:02pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Yes MaryT, I was very lucky. Everything is out of season, but luckily north queensland always has a few out of season goodies if you go looking. Mike, sorry I wasnt able to get down to see you, but the weather was poor and the drive from port douglas to Cairns is a royal pain in the wet, we only made it down to go to Rustys then visit family out white rock way.

BJ says... Hi David, I imported a few seeds, now have just a few wee plants remaining. I have not tasted them, but growers in other areas rave about them. Here is a hatchet job of a translation courtesy google: Fruits up to 10 cm in diameter (the largest among the garcínias), almost spherical and provided with a thin yellow skin, which becomes soft and edible as you advance to maturity (flavor reminiscent of sweet lime). The pulp is of exceptional quality, sweet and very nice with citrus touches. Its flowers are very fragrant and lily. The tree can be maintained with small size, up to two meters, through annual pruning. Uses: The fruit pulp is consumed fresh and is considered of exceptional quality, superior even to the excellent achachairu-Bolivian (Garcinia laterifolia). The bark (i think this means skin, not bark!) mature becomes soft and can be consumed "in natura", but is especially appreciated in the form of juice, beat the blender. Cultivation: The new-achachairu-Mexican should be grown in full sun or semi-shade in tropical and subtropical climates. Enjoy deep soils, well drained but with good availability of water or irrigation. Starts fruiting 5 to 6 years of age, and produces large loads. Origin: Native to the region of Puerto Vallarta, in the Department. Jalisco, Mexico. Vegeta from sea level to altitudes of 500 meters. Family: Clusiaceae. Notes: In a recent tasting test, four out of five experts considered the garcínias achachairu Mexican superior in quality to Bolivia. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 23rd May 2012 10:40pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... ivepeters, i got them from a man from Puerto Vallarta on rarefruitlist. David, I'd say they chose the achachairu as it is well known and easily obtainable for setting up a commercial plantation.

Mike says... Back to the scene of the crime after climbing mountains,thrashing through rainforest and driving 1000's of km of Cape York 'tracks'.Last night there were deluges all over and I only just made it through roaring water.I am told there was 170mm at my place last night, so much for the dry season.

This front the east cost is getting now is supposed to be packing nasty wind behind it that will bring brisbane to 8 then 6 degrees by the start of next week.

With any luck the rambai have the sense to stay dormant for a little while yet. I had some really nice rambai at Scomazzons.

Not to worry about potted the seedling in individual pots, I can do it on this end later. No I have never heard about red yanang vine, I may recognize when I see the plant so it would not hurt just to grow them and see if we can name them. It may be a very rare species you never know.

amanda says... Same David, my local F&V shop has all those things too: Plus quince, white sapote, mangoes, cherries, still got grapes and plums also... Fruit travels many miles these days - so some has lost it's "treat" status (a bit sad for me, personally....cherries used to be something to look forward to at xmas time and savour...now they becoming common.. :-( | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 11th June 2012 4:49pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Put it thru the FBook groups too SG? Some good connections there now ;-) I was also wondering what the treatment regime is for exotic fruit coming into WA..? Given how strict our quarantine reg's are on this side - I have been wondering what they do to those Thai mangoteens that are coming in by the bucket load now, for eg...? I have never seen a sign stating that a foodstuff has been irradiated either. How effective would a surface spray treatment (for any internal bugs) be on a woody fruit like a mangosteen though..? How would it penetrate that thick outer shell..? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 13th June 2012 1:49pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... Sam Ru Du report - I've just tasted my first one. After purchasing them on sunday (4 days ago). Appearance - they were fairly green to begin with, so I had to wait for them to ripen. By Wednesday, 3 of them has developed lots of black spots all over, as well as wrinkles. And so they went to the fridge. One was left outside to be ripen a bit more. So today, ate the one that was not kept in the fridge. I would say it's still not fully ripen, as it was a bit green and firm. Taste wise, it was not too sweet but no sour taste at all. I would say that particular one tasted better than a Nam Doc Mai but would rate below a Falan. I also gave some to a friend who ate them green and really liked it. I can understand why people (i.e SE Asian folks) would eat the Thai mango types predominately green, as it's got good texture - firm, no fibre, not too sour and a hint of sugar. However, for those of us who likes our fruit sweet like KP sweet, then Sam Ru Du can not match it. Also, as they tend to be harvested very green, then there tends to be a long wait before it ripens and chances are, quality could well drop before it happens. That said, looking forward to grow the seed(s). :) | About the Author Brain Brisbane 22nd May 2014 10:09pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Brain it really depends on the day of the visit, ive been on several days of the week and found that Friday is always the beast day for choice, am waiting for the Abiu to arrive ,not sure when though will have to keep looking,lots of huge purple star apples for sale, $18 to $22 per kilo. | About the Author David Springwood 13th September 2015 8:49pm #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... As a full time paper shuffler, only get to go to the markets on weekends. But sounds like Sat is the next best bet :). Have you tried or thought about growing your own Abiu? I have a friend from Indonesia and gave him a plant. Only problem is, the possums loved the tree a lot more than he did. Leaves, bark and all. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 14th September 2015 9:59am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... I will try and take a pic of the last queen that i have. I have never heard of queen mango and believe it to be a marketing name only. Anyway, it was semi green but turned uniformly yellow. Seed is fairly large and not too thin but its a thai type. Less sweet and not too much fibre and generally yellow in colour. Taste similar to nam doc mai. As for the davids pic, sorry would not know for sure. but the left one is what i call the thai types. It does resemble the banana mango (though a few mangos here are called that) or a falan related mango. Generally, they just label all those as green asian mango, irrespective of actual cultivar. The right one could be related to american mangos, due to the colouring. Thats my 2 cents anyway, lol. Did you grow those? | About the Author Brain Sunnybank 3rd February 2016 5:49am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... The left one looks like namdocmai or okrong... Okrong is very sweet but no acid tones..namdocmai tastes better and is also very sweet but less then okrong. There are more mango's with this shape which are mostly only eaten green (unripe) here, they are cheap but it might be one of them. In Thai language there is no queen mango. But you guys also have Thai King mango (mahachanok), somebody down under thinks it's fun to use royal names for mango's...that's very disrespectfull to do in thailand, just saying. They can use any name/word except from the Royals. Golden Queen is a very big mango and a new variety from Taiwan (i thought, not sure). But the Thai also change mangonames, Yu-wen mango from Taiwan is called Chakrapat in Thailand...it means red emperor... The right mango on the pic could be a Yu-wen if it was bigger...i don't know many red mango's though, they are just here recently since a few years and almost never on the markets. I saw many new mango's this week, somebody imported the tree's and sells them now. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 3rd February 2016 11:38pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... I 've never heard of the mamoth sapote, is it just a mamey? And for the jackfruit they could at least have mentioned the variety. Many people think all the yellow crispy jacks are great..last week i saw a lady buying 10 packs of those on the market. I ought them to be good so i also bought some packs. We ate 1 piece of them and the rest went into the bin. My favorit jacks are thong prasert and petch dum rung and pet raa chaa. Those are absolutele excellent if fully ripe. I haven't tasted many others though and won't buy them unless they tell me the varietyname. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 24th January 2017 12:56pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
