The wanderland for fruit explorers!!
It looks like you hit the jackpot at Stephen Murray's Farm. Lots of great vids.
thanks! It was a great experience
I’m growing a cedar bay cherry- the fruit tastes like a watered down grape. They’re sweet, but not *very* sweet. Not bad at all and very fun to pick but the flavor probably won’t knock you over.
I’m loving this adventure you went on. So many good new fruits!
Four years late in seeing this. I lived in Cedar Bay, a remote rainforest area in Far North Queensland, Australia, the bay that this fruit is named after. I have made a point of buying and planting those shrubs in places beyond The Bay for around 40 years on and off. I LOVE them! There is an area at the Northern end of Cedar Bay where there is a thicket of these shrubs covering more than 2 acres. I once had to carry a freshly gutted pig carcass through the thicket to get to the beach to make walking easier. The shrubs interlock with their branches, making it really hard to push through.
In the 70s and early 80s, the hippies in Cedar Bay had grown a variety of tropical fruit trees that rivaled many herbariums and Botanical gardens. They sourced seed from overseas fishing boats that regularly snuck into Australian waters. The hippies would trade fresh fruits and vegetables for staples etc. and seeds. I believe that the first Vanilla icecream bean trees and Black Sapotes in Australia were grown in Cedar Bay. I may be wrong, but the legends point that way. Sadly, in the early 90s, long after the area was declared a National park, and long after the hippies had been kicked out, all the exotic fruit trees in the old gardens were destroyed by the National parks service as a way of stopping people trying to stay in the Bay for extended periods by utilising the local fruit sources for food.
my curry leaf tree fruits outside here in New Zealand where temp range is roughly 4-30 degrees C
the berries taste ok but not enough flesh to be more than a novelty
i have 3 varieties surinam cherry(giant red, orange,black) and the orange colour one tastes best in my opinion...nice and sweet and very little (if any)of that diesel type taste the red ones can have
That greenhouse 😢🥺🥹 Aye de mi, yo lo quiero!
Wow I was just going to comment that cherry looked almost like a mini of type bell or Scotch Bonnet shaped pepper... and then a moment later you said it has pepper notes to its taste. Cool stuff.
I never heard of curry berries. They sound interesting!
Hey Jared, try having green American elm seeds. There should be lots lining the trails in central Park's "The Mall" and "Literary Walk" trails, you can't miss them, they are the shade trees and have wavy branches and an umbrella patterned canopy. Hopefully there are some branches you can reach but they only fall after they dry out and get brown. The fruits are flat and line the ends of their branches in the spring. The whole fruit is edible while still young and haven't found anything online about them being poisonous in any way, and they're very common so it will be easy to find and experience what they taste like.
sounds interesting, I'll check it out!
Love this episode! I lived in the Philippines for 4 years and tried lots of new fruits.
I'm personally looking forward to you making another trip to the Pacific Northwest. Oregon Grape is one sort of disappointing thing, but berries like Thimbleberries and Tea berries are far better.
Agreed, the Pacific Northwest is a great place for wild fruit diversity. We've got soooo many species of berries up here, and it's pretty easy to find a majority of them all in one area if you know where to look. A pit-stop by nurseries who focus on unusual fruits would be cool, too. OneGreenWorld for example has some pretty unique finds, although I'm not sure how many of them they grow themselves versus just getting from a distant/out of state supplier and breeder.
Thimbleberries are good!
I've always thought Suriname cherries tasted like curry leaves. They'd probably be great as a chutney.
We have a couple of curry leaf at work, i can't get the smell out of my head, as being like old engine oil.
Drobium77 i have one in my yard and it really does!!!
curry berry is like, sweet but has a small lingering curry taste.
Been watching you're stuff religiously since like episode 50. Please try jabuticaba or Uzbekistanian melons. They are very interesting and tasty. Orderable online!
I've reviewed jaboticabas :) I have some melons coming up in the future might be the one you're referring to.
Hope you can one day try some of the lesser known american foraged fruits like Beauty Berry, False Solomon's Seal, Bladdernut and the like!!
Elstupidonoone1
He tried beauty berry that day too, not sure if he recorded it
Was this Video taken mid summer? A date of shooting would be great especially on market tours etc. Wish I had a hothouse like that guys - very jealous - would get my Rollinias to bear in that one - its way better even than our botanic gardens one.
I believe this was the end of august. I hope to visit again during a different season and see even more of his collection.
Pitanga and Pitanga baia!
Jared, what is your current general opinion of Eugenias? Are they really good, just ok or nah... too resiny or peppery?
I really like them! I would maybe go for varieties that aren't too peppery. Although I like the pepper taste I can see it getting tiring after a while. But fruits like the Pitomba and pitangatuba would be something I would keep in steady supply if I could
best
What was the fruit to your right as u were eating the curry berries? Were they guavas?
Strawberry guava I think. Episode coming soon!
Dnt like these berries, they have flavor similar to hot pepper and it’s just freaks me out
Oh god, I thought my Surinam cherry was a bad one cause it had that pepper aftertaste but are you saying me even the good one have that taste? That tree won't live long after hearing this.
Christian Brandoni There are good ones out there that have significantly less of that pepper/resinous taste. They’re a little less common but they are out there!
I got a black variety that I was planning to graft onto this tree(a red seedling) but I just saw his video where he says the zill one has a petrol aftertaste... Anyway the black one should fruit this summer, I guess I'll wait and see. I have a feeling it will be 2 trashed plants :)
I like the pepper taste, but yeah like Jen said there are varieties where its not as strong. The petrol taste is not in a bad way, but maybe not for everyone. Give them a shot, you might luck out.
Please stop saying Surinam cherry has a resinous aftertaste. That is a delicious fruit if you peel the skin off first. That is where the peppery off flavors reside. Also there are a few varieties that don't have that flavor even with the skin. I have a plant that produces both single and huge double pitted fruit. The double pitted ones don't have a bitter taste at all.
Instead of throwing a "Hissy fit" like a 4 year old ,why not name the variety that taste good like your recommended double pitted ones and educate ?
Omg third! Lol
I know all of these were pre-recorded but in the future maaaaaaybe take the fruit outside so we can hear better. Just saying, keep up the content though !
I found their voices surprisingly comprehensible. And, personally, I liked seeing the fruits on the plant and the inside of the greenhouse as the background.
Drunken Whaler Yeah I could hear fine too. Seeing people’s greenhouses and growing setups is half of the fun of watching these videos! I’ll sacrifice ease of hearing for an interesting filming environment any time! That’s what subtitles are for! :)
Your other intromusic was melancholy inducing to the point that I want to commit suicide. Keep up the good work, I love fuit and thought I was pretty well versed, but it seems like I have a lot of fun trying to do lol.
