I'm still hunting down Lucuma to taste and to grow. Canistel is a delicious fruit which I am growing from seed and a known variety. Keep up the good work.
papaya nursery has a mature tree with fruit for 1k, and a guy in anaheim victor has a huge mature tree and sells the fruit around this time, I just bought 5each of the lucumas for 5 dollars.
Well, This was PAINFUL TO WATCH! Lucuma is the 'INCA GOLD" native to Peru, this fruit is considered a delicatessen, NOT A FRUIT OF THE POOR!... Oh my goodness... the ignorance! ... It was considered such a great fruit that there is even pottery from the Incas time highlighting the Lucuma fruit. I am from Arequipa-Peru where Lucuma is abundant and the most expensive cakes and the most expensive and delicious ice creams are made with Lucuma. Canistel from Mexico has a different consistency and flavor, Lucuma and canistel may be cousins but they are far away ones. If you are going to "judge" a fruit, at least go to its place of origin! ... and please out of respect the fruits... PLEASE KEEP THE FLIES AWAY FROM THE FRUITS... kinda disgusting!

Hi, man, you must try another pouterias, search for some information about pouteria venosa, pouteria butyrocarpa, pouteria multiflora, pouteria macrophylla, and pouteria macrocarpa. Those are similar in pulp aspect comparing to pouteria campechiana and lucuma!
@@allthefruit let me show you a pouteria sp. video, a specie from Atlantic Forest: ruclips.net/video/OfPecQu5u54/видео.html It's in portuguese, but is possible to see the fruit!
I like both of them,because they are all delicious. The birds especially the wild animals like these fruits very much because when they are ripe ,the skin of the fruit is very thin and they could easily eat the flesh of the fruit. I wish we could grow a lot of these trees so that the wild animals could have a permanent source of high energy food
Honestly always thought both are just varieties of the same species of fruit. In my experience the plump rounder Eggfruit variety, sweet and moist flesh, tastes better than the elongated more chalky, astringent one.
I have had the opposite experience, but I don't like pumpkin. I believe there are two types of lucuma, one dry and the other moist. Lucuma tastes like walnuts and custard, very rich, almost too much to eat one at once.
Ok, that sounds very different than the Gran Canaria lucuma. But lots of the fruits of different species there are from seedling trees so they are of inferior quality

Thank you. Canistel is a good choice

A lady near to Malaga in spain grows Lucuma, at a little elevation, and they tasted amazing.
Ok, seems that i got an inferior variety. Hope to find the good ones soon

Thank you. Interesting to know that animals enjoy them, too
Hey Apu, maybe in your country it's normal the flies around the food but in the video it's disgusting.
Remove them if you can

What color are your eggfruits? And does one of them have a pointy tip?
@@allthefruit yes the elongated one has a pointy tip, the round one similar to a Fuyu Persimmon shape.
So you seem to have a sweet lucuma and a chalky canistel
@@allthefruit I'll have to Google the pics again in case I mixed them up.
Great. Send us the link please
