[silver]

Thanks fellas, was a quick little hunt, I was just lucky I guess (ha).
SnG hey ,.... mmmmmm !

 

[silver]

Still need more gold though (ha).

 

[silver]

Thought I'd best have a crack at making em shine a little, you know, just to see em a little better'n all. :|

Well, at least I got em around the right way n all this time !

Lighting is a bit rough, I never did build my lightbox yet.

 

[AtomRat]

Mmmm puuurdy

 

[silver]

I gotta start trying, big day happening and can't sleep a wink while I'm typing at all (bugga). (ha) yawn yawn
Silver out. 8)

 

[silver]

Well, I'd rather be out having a dig, but someone has to stay home and eat fruit.
Black Sapote
(Chocalate pudding fruit).

look like something you should not eat when they are ripe.

seeds are big enough not to swallow by accident, and it tastes like something you won't share ,... cause you want it all.

 

[AtomRat]

Can you email me one, I wanna taste

 

[silver]

I could mail you some seeds !

 

[AtomRat]

If they grow down in this climate, sure

 

[rocketaroo]

looks now, what it will look later.....

 

[silver]

Sure as RKT.

I've got a black sapote growing in the back yard, I might pop it in the ground this year as it's never fruited for me so far.

I've also got a miracle fruit shrub as well, it fruits quite heavilly once or sometimes twice a year, it's a fussy little bugger though in Sydney's climate, much more suited to the tropics/sub tropics.

 

[silver]

Synsepalum dulcificum is a plant known for its berry that, when eaten, causes sour foods subsequently consumed to taste sweet. This effect is due to miraculin.

Wow Heatho, I'll have to look at getting one of those to try growing ,.... now that I know about it.

 

[silver]

That's not my garden. :lol:

 

[Heatho]

Classic. Yeah they really work too, biting into a lemon after miracle fruit tastes like sweet sugary lemonade. They are an amazing plant and quite interesting also. The fruit of the miracle fruit is not actually sweet either, it's the miraculin that fills the sour sensing tastebuds in your mouth with a protein that makes them inactive for a couple of hours.

They like very acidic soil (ph under 5) like an Azalea mix or similar, plenty of nutients and they don't like dry soil. They should grow very well up your way.

Heres some chocky puddins on our tree

And here's some of the tree.

havn't got a full tree shot in the phone though.

 

[silver]

They can take the full seven years to fruit if they are seedlings.

Nics pics Silver, very healthy looking tree, I was reading somewhere you need a male and female tree for them to fruit, I'm assuming now that this is not the case? Gotta get mine in the ground this week.
