Why aren't they flowering from the trunk and flowering the end of the branches like a Phithantra
Unknown anomaly
Awesome! ❤️
Here in Borneo we cook the young fruit of granadilla stir fried with chicken meat. Granadilla can be grown with its top cutting.
Thank you, I didn't know you can cook the young fruit. I will give it a try :)
What’s your favorite tasting Garcinia
I have not tasted all of them yet, Lucs, Russel Sweet next on my list. I think the Purple and Achacha are pretty equal. Maybe leaning towards Achacha because it's much easier to grow and the tea from the skins is amazing as well 😀
possivel que a segunda seja jabuticaba de cabinho
Highly recommend not only safety glasses but also a safety mask, as said in the manual, because within 10 seconds I had 2 branches whipping me in the face (happy I had my safety mask on).
Send me some seeds
Em different long karuka ah? Nambis variety. Was the video done in Morobe as well?
No West New Britain, I don't know if they have this edible variety elsewhere in PNG. Most wild varieties you see are not the edible kinds.
lol my son came over last night while I was making the tea out of dried leaves ,he said what is that smell he thought the dogs pooped in the house .. 😂
Be sure to look up dosages for this tea. It can be toxic if you take too much and affect your kidneys. If you have kidney problems you should talk to a doctor for sure before using! ❤
Definitely going to try this recipe, nice to find an Aussie site. Thanks
Best tropical fruit ever!
I just found its big fruits yesterday, and now i know what kind of fruit it is growing on my lawn, thanks a lot
Our home in the Marshall Islands is packed with PANDANAS. They can spread by floating over the ocean to Islands, which is ideal for a nation made of atolls. Second only to the coconut, pandanas are essential to life on these resource poor Islands as they can provide for so many of our needs. I lived in a thatch house made of pandanas for a while which stayed cool in the summer and warm in the winter by "breathing" with the weather around us. It was also a work of art, looking at how it was stitched together was mesmerizing. As to the issue with eating the fruit, you can gnaw on the individual grenades when they are hard and unforgiving and are guaranteed to give you furry teeth . Or you can throw them in a pot of water and boil them. For many of the children in this region, including my own, boiled böb which had its soft flesh scraped out, ate this pudding like food as their first baby food after nursing. Very nutritious and high in vitamins C&E particularly . I honestly miss this lovely plant
Thanks for sharing your experience. This is first time I heard of this plant. I'm staying in Malaysia 🇲🇾, country full of many types of fruits. Including some rare fruits like Durian. I wish one can try this Hala Fruit.
Iakwe 🇲🇭
Do the regular soursop leaves have a smell to them when rubbed? I’ve a tree that I can’t decide whether true soursop or mountain soursop
You sound like Moira from Schitts Creek LMAO 😂(I LOVE her) Seriously though, THIS is the thing I've been searching for! Thanks!
This is great idea! I think it could be expanded to make a table top for working on the plants & place for tools
Did you let the leaves dry out first
No I used fresh from my tree. No need to dry them for the benefits.
Variety name?
Unknown 🤔 Many mangoes in Papua New Guinea go by local nicknames.
I tried a green Elephant Mango from an Asian super market. It was a green unripe fruit, A one pound mango. It was a bit crunchy but slightly sweet . And no tartness at all. Have you tried it? I aim to sprout the seed. They say if the fruit has an "S" shape then it has a poly embeyonic seed. Meaning if it germinates, it might be able to produce the exact same characteristic fruit. Can hardly wait.🥱
Yes I have a couple times. They are in the 'savoury' box not sweet and not bitter. Great if you want to pickle or put them in salads. They're also a bit expensive compared to the sweeter smaller varieties so I over look them a little. Good luck on the germination, I did not know about the S shape theory, let me know how it goes :)
Himam passant, Indian mango tastes great.
That's not Passion fruit it's called barbadine
you work fast... ;)
Did you give the langsat away ?
How much were the materials?
I start drinking this juice and making it because I have a problem in sleeping walls for 2 days straight that am drinking am sleeping like a baby now thank you God 🙏🏽
Barbadine makes a good punch!
approach graft your soursop to the mountain soursop.
I plan on grafting 2 varieties onto it. They are still small so will take cuttings in 6months or so.
I sell seeds for thid world wide
Where do you get these mangoes?
Check your local Asian fruit and vegetable shops.
I would like to have some seeds

Oh I saw the flower sorry
What does the flower look like ?
But in Australia Market shop picked too early, the mangoes are not yet fully ripe. the mangoes taste not really delicious, sweet and not full flavour example R2E2 mango the biggest fruit can be 600g1kg very very sweetness if you correct out enough i was very lucky i have nearly 600g last year, on your video not even 300g, they are young fruit still . My eating Khiew Sawoey Thai green mango I have a little cry not even flavour yet to young but people here say so yummy if you go eating from your own tree pick on time you say the same I am , sometime mango taste like a water even though popular name on the market
I agree freshly picked ripe mango's are always the best option :) But many people do not have the space to grow them, so shops are all we have.
The unknown ? Looked like Pepino
Oh yes that must be it. I've never tried it before.
@@mytropicalfruitforestlife I’ve got Pepino growing in my garden in South East QLD. Tastes like a rock melon crossed with a honeydew
@@biblicalwealth Oh yes I think I may have tried it. I'm not a big fan of rockmelon so that's why I never tried growing it.
@@mytropicalfruitforestlife apparently eating it green it tastes like cucumber but I’ve only ever eaten it ripe. Love to see a garden tour video to see how all your fruit trees are going.
@@biblicalwealth Thank you, coming soon :)
That's the loudest silent video I've watched.😉 Were you over there on holidays Tim, or working for the family business?
Was it still too loud, I did edit it down -10 volume across the whole video. I assure you it much louder in person HAHA Was there for myself, working holiday sussing out some business opportunities. I'll come round yours for a visit soon, been too long 🙂
@3:34 Pepino Melon @5:18 Looks like Papaya, hard to tell from that @8:09 Probably the popular Shine Muskat @9:41 Orange Jackfruit! @13:51 Yes Jujube
Send me some seeds please!!🙏
When it’s ready it turn yellow and very soft. Try making a smoothie with carnation mild, ice and vanilla extract, yummy!!! I used to have this in Haiti 🇭🇹
Thanks for the video, this and the comments below convinced me getting one, especially for half the price on staff sale. Done dealing with weeks long of disposals to rubbish bin.
Very nice! Thank you!
Mind to ask where is your location.? Your garden look great .
East coast Australia. Subtropical climate.
Can you add cinnamon?
Of course :) Nutmeg or cinnamon would be delicious additives.
I just acquired a Pandanus Amaryllifolius, from our Modesto Junior College Agricultural program in Central Valley of California. It has a beautiful light green foliage, and the tag says it is edible. I'm looking forward to seeing how this grows! It tells me full to partial sun, and I am hoping our hot climate will be good for it.
Those are huge. Amazing
Yummmmmo
Amazing😊
I like how you clearly dont like it 1st try but you go in for 2nds 😂😂 I havent seen that here in PNG but I'd like to give it a go💪🏾 thanks for sharing, cheers
