Geebus Posted May 7, 2015 Hey guys found this weird ass fruit in my backyard a while ago and it is growing in abundance. Dried out the first few fruit for seeds. If any interested parties I have 5 or 6 lots to give away They are delicious. They taste like a zesty, lemony cucumber with a hint of tomato. Would be the bom-diggity in a salad! Known as Kiwano or African Cucumber. If keen, first in best dressed will get these. Dont fret if you miss out there are more on the way. Also I will accept any other interesting and weird or trippy looking fruit seeds or veg as a donation this is optional though! Cheers! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

endorfinder Posted May 7, 2015 I just got some Annona glabra seeds ("Pond Apple") if you'd like to exchange unusual fruit, be careful though as it's an invasive species in parts of the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zed240 Posted May 7, 2015 I would very much like to grow these if I can have some seeds please! I can send you a couple of my trich hybrid seeds if you'd like, but I don't have any interesting fruit seeds to offer you. Unless you don't think these will grow in SA's Mediterranean climate? I'd like to try though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kykeion Posted May 20, 2015 That's pretty cool that you just "found" those growing in your backyard! I remember trying one years ago and not being super impressed. I just saw some at the grocery store the other day and considered trying it again till I noticed they were selling them at $4 a pop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
