Just can't kick the habit...Some new tropicals for this year

Pandan Plant - The pandan flavor is typically used in many SE Asian cooking and pastries. The flavor can be described as somewhat nutty, coconut and grassy taste.


White Guava - Another popular fruit in SE Asia. These can be eaten slightly green with salt or fully ripened.



Peppercorn - Peppercorn is a under story plant which requires some shade it doesnt tolerate too much sun or cold temperatures so have it as a house plant maybe a good spot for it.


June Plum & Kohala Longan - Another try at these.  I made a mistake last time with my other june plum. Over watering. This time around I have it is a mesh pot which dries out faster.

My research has showed Kohala Longans to be the most cold hardy of the longans.




Muntingia calabura - The Cotton Candy tree. What a super fast grower!


Surinam Cherry - The first time I tried these cherries was in Hawaii. They have a bit of a peppery taste to them.


Thai Jumbo Wax Apple - Another popular SE Asian fruit that. Despite its name, a ripe wax apple only resembles an apple on the outside in color. It does not taste like an apple, and it has neither the fragrance nor the density of an apple. Its flavor is similar to a snow pear, and the liquid-to-flesh ratio of the wax apple is comparable to a watermelon. Unlike either apple or watermelon, the wax apple's flesh has a very loose weave.


Seeds I'm trying to grow:
Candle Tree
Baccaurea ramiflora
Lansium Domesticum
Waxberry Seeds
Green Date Palm
Roselle  Edible Hibiscus
