Thanks my friend!

Hopefully it is Florida...we have twenty plus varieties to get you on a good start!

Hi Chris

How does the fruit of Ae Ae taste when ripe, even though I know its used more for cooking. You must have a big garden my friend to be able to grow so many varieties

Hoping to see videos of fruiting Red Kru,Red iholena and Dwarf red in the near future

Hello Mushtaq,

Ae Ae pulp is somewhat orange and dense (not too dissimilar from Ele Ele), sweeter as it ripens.

A co-worker from the Caribbean broiled the Hua Moa i gave her when it was very green.

One can eat Ae Ae out of hand fresh or pan fry, boil, broil and fry green (tostones).

I have fought and am still fighting against procuring an AeAe but, if they're yummy cooked and unusually pretty, this may be a losing battle at some point since I'm a plantain gal at heart. Not yet...

Thanks for the harvest video. I hope you got room in your freezer. Are you going to post a video when you harvest the Brazilians?

Thanks!

Ae Ae is struggling..I have one main plant that is doing well. The two large pups I moved both died....I needed to put them in a better spot..but space is tight.

I will catch up with you and Craig through email!

floridagrower · 04-12-2016, 06:30 PM

Great update. It looks like you didnt have a winter. We almost had a zone 10 winter up my way.

subsonicdrone · 04-12-2016, 06:51 PM

cool

my jaboticaba is almost that big
cant wait to get some blooms

my key lime has thorns and yes they are sharp and hard

merce3 · 04-12-2016, 08:03 PM

Thanks for sharing Chris--you're an inspiration for where I eventually want to get with my yard. It's cool that you remember what everything is with so much planted. I am trying to do the same with my small but growing collection.

I'll have to come check you out sometime during the summer when you have some free time... I lost my ele ele over the winter and would really like to replace it if you have any avaioable. I absolutely love the look of the plant and fruit so it was a tough loss.

George,

You always have an open invite! Thanks for the words of encouragement. Ele Ele is a very nice plant, I will shoot you an email when I have some pups (you are not the first member to lose Ele Ele...they can be temperamental..more than one person has come back for a replacement).

Fortunately I have had a few visits from members of Bananas.org (two members starting a garden project were able to collect over one hundred corms South Florida Farm) and have thinned heavily this year.

Thanks! Awesome..wow..I remember when it snowed (my car was covered) in Tallahassee in 1980.

sputinc7 · 04-29-2016, 08:36 PM

I don't know how your neighbors feel, but I love it! Looks like a lot of work, though... If I am ever over your way, I will contact you about a tour.

Keep in mind that Key Lme and Mexican Lime are synonymous. There is an excellent thornless cultivar propagated by Durling's and others.

No doubt, thanks. I planted this Key Lime tree 24 years ago.

Rmplmnz · 11-26-2020, 10:49 AM

I have been offline for a long time....crazy busy at work working with reduced staffing and busy times, shoulder surgery, two elementary age kids....etc,..

Front Yard!

I apologize for the shaky video...I used a different camera for the back yard.

Original back yard video...little shaky (may give you a headache...watch with caution).

all43 · 11-26-2020, 11:53 AM

Thankyou what an amazing front yard! Looking forward to the back yard,I'm so jealous of your climate there!!!!
