A fruit that makes sour taste sweet! I want to know if theirs anyone that can help? When i was young my neighbour had a little shrub growing in a pot that got little red berries when it fruited, after you ate one you could eat a lemon & it taste as sweet as sugar, he called it a miracle fruit tree (of coarse). When i was about 13 i found one at a nursery on the sunshine coast, but its now long gone. Can anyone help me with the real name of this plant or even better know were they can be obtained? Cheers jox

Thanks for those answers I'll have to get one from the SAB store in a couple of weeks. The only problem now is Psylo & Planthelper have got me reading about goji berrys! It never ends, I love this place.

There is a big difference between a young man who makes mistakes & sorts them out & grows & a young man who can continuously deceives his mates! I'm amazed by the good hearted people here & take my hat of to you all!! Cam i'm only new here & don't mean to offend, i can see you have some genuine friends & think you are very lucky. At the end of the day Cam your the only one that knows what kind of young man you are. Whatever the outcome i wish you the best.

Hi psylo if you have any spare seeds I'd love to purchase a few, please let me know. Also crude pills tomato after lemon?? please explain. Thanks jox

Crocs are awesome, they should be left alone! What a great way to keep the number of feral animals down (humans included)!!

Great photos myco, how long did you shutter open to get them?

sorry tarenna they are most likely to be var sanguinea as they are also found in northern NSW . I was just wondering if anyone anyone new the name of the native red form in north QLD? what i should of said was as far as i know var sanguinea only grows as far north as s/e QLD .

Its a beautiful looking plant i think its Acacia cultriformis (Knife-leaf wattle). Natural distribution is on ridges of western slopes, tablelands & plains of NSW & into Inglewood-Stanthorpe regions of southern QLD, through cultivation their now found from Tassie to n/e QLD.

they look great i take 1 if theres any left

sent you PM. Cheers

Hi Nexuswalker you said some grow in North Queensland including a red but most of them don't taste all too nice. I spend a fair bit of time in the s/e QLD rainforest & have found 2 species of finger limes the more common citrus australasica var. australasica which has green, yellow or blackish fruit & citrus australasica var. sanguinea which has a crimson red fruit, as far as i know var. sanguinea is only found in a few locations & is only in the s/e of QLD. Do you happen to know what the species is that gets the red fruits in n/e QLD?

thanks for the advise, i planted the dry seeds in seed trays in greenhouse its now day 19 & about 80% have come up & are looking good.

Went for a walk this week in s/e QLD & found some beautiful A.obtusifolia, they had heaps of seed pods & I had a couple of question about the seeds. The plants I found had pods on them from last season that were dry & brown but still closed they also had fresh pods from this year which are green & just starting to go brown, my 1st question is should these green pods be left to dry out before useing the seeds? 2nd question, whats the best time of year to plant A.obtusifolia seeds? If anyone has anymore advise i'd love to hear it. Cheers Jox

Would like a pack if theres any left. Cheers jox

Sorry to everyone who tried to help before when there were no pics, i'll try again. Found this 50 year old cacti in s/e qld Aussie, any Ideas? Cheers jox
