    These grow wild in the hills around Hong Kong, My parents used to pick them to snack on while gathering firewood as children. From what I remember from my hikes In the hk countryside the bushes are quite thorny.

    The mulberry family also includes figs. They're like the oddball in the family with their "outside in" fruits.

    The world really is just filled with wild and wonderous things if you know how and where to look. Just because of this channel I'm able to talk about different fruits, some of which I'll probably never get to see first hand, because I've been inspired to look further and really see what's out there to be seen. Thanks so much for everything you create and share with us, Jared. You're awesome! I hope everyone is doing well, and having a great day!

    Like a few other species, female Che trees will give you fruit without seeds. If there is a male Che tree nearby it will pollinate the female and result in even more fruit but they will all have seeds. I’ve got a “Norris” variety I am eagerly looking forward to fruiting in a couple years!

    I think you could definitely do a comparison video on Mulberry, since red are typically more tart while white are sweet there is a ton of variety I can't even begin to get into!! Not to mention hybrids

    I would love to experiment crossing this Che with an Osage orange if they are so related to get a bigger fruit with the taste of the Che. I doubt mulberries are closely enough related to cross, but worth a try as well.

    this fruit spreads in the mountains of a few provinces in China, local people call it "wild Lychee" , very sweet.

    I’ve never had it, but I heard about it and the description made me fall in love immediately! I’ve already bought three trees, eagerly waiting for them to mature!!

    I hope I find that fruit in an international market. That's usually where I find most of the foreign fruit and veggies. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 🌞😊🤗

    Che is an older way to romanize Chinese 柘. The modern way to spell it is zhè, pronounced something like "juh". For those who read IPA it's /ʈ͡ʂɤ⁵¹/

    This looks legit mouth watering.

    You forgot to mention Ficus (Figs) are in the same family!

    Steven Murray is growing these, a few years ago (2019) he also posted on his Instagram about visiting a che farm in China. I think he might have some that are cultivated varieties from China, I wonder is there is a flavor and quality difference.

  • @krodkrod8132

    I just bought 12 of these trees for my food forest. Can't wait to get them. If you plant the female trees without the male, there won't be any seeds. But they take longer to ripen so you need a longer growing season.

    Thank you for finally reviewing the che, I have wanted to plant some seedless che trees for a long time. I have relied on your palate for fruit for years. This just cements that choice for me.

    I would love to try this. Another Maclura species grows wild here, looks edible too

    Nice! I planted one of these about a year ago. Looking forward to the fruit in a few years!

    I wonder if a cross between the Che fruit and the Osage orange could be created. Cross pollination and nature

    Every time I see a fruit which is in fact a cluster of small fruits it brings Prainea limpato to mind. Hopefully you will find kesusu one day.
