Re: Babaco
How does one go about getting seeds of this one? I mean, does anyone we know have a source?

Re: Babaco
Cool! Is it the Chamburo (Vasconcellea × heilbornii nothovar. chrysopetala), or yet another seedless Vasconcellea?

Re: Babaco
Nope, it's another sp - V. candicans. Rest assured, Pete, I'm looking for at least one myself. I'm in the final leg of the paperwork for an export licence, and once I've got that, I'll be happy to send one along.
Although, no seeds - this is a sport variety, you'll have to make do with a cutting. Last edited by lorax : 08-08-2009 at 12:41 PM. |

Re: Babaco
Yes, apparently this one's got a much higer brix rating than even standard Babacos, and if possible a little more effervescence. As soon as I find one, I'll report back to y'all - this appears to be a candicans x heilbornii - so you get the hardiness of the candicans and the flavour of the heilbornii.

Re: Babaco
Hello, Richard!
Many thanks for your reply to Babako`s topics. I understand that working for a license for transmission in Europe? Do you understand that plants generally have to send? If so, we can process in another way, if you agree, of course. Many want Babako and really difficult to find here in Bulgaria. Until now all my attempts have failed. Furthermore, I wait 2 months to the contract and then more time for delivery. But you could send me a package plant in a personal item. Without a license, just as a package to a friend. For its part, I will send you the required amount of a bank account that will give me and I will give you my address. Send me the answer to buteo_buteo@abv.bg or PM. I hope you agree. Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!!! Regards: Pavlina |

Re: Babaco
I did not know that the plant items are prohibited in the absence of a license. I thought it was allowed personal items to include plants. Now I understand why not send me.
And when you receive a license, you will begin to send plants in Europe, right? Greetings! |

Re: Babaco
After reading this post, I am interested in trying to grow some babaco. I can't seem to find it anywhere near me. Anyone having success with this fruit in South Florida? ALso, does it have the same problems as papaya with fruit fly?

Re: Babaco
Anyone know what influences when Babaco sets fruit? My makes flowers all the time, but only occasionally sets fruit. Is it a temperature thing, or something else?

Re: Babaco
Mine finally started setting fruit over the last month, after making flowers but no fruit for months. Could be sunlight. It was partly shaded by a neighbor's plant, but now that the sun has moved to the south more, it is not getting shaded at all. Or, who knows?

Re: Babaco
Lorax was banned by Jared, for improper activities, while overseeing the production of the magazine, There was a thread explaining this, but now I can't find it. It might have been removed.

Re: Babaco
I think they sell them at my local nursery. Probably going to plant one next spring. I just hope they'll be able to handle the heat here in the valley...
