Monstera Deliciosa: The Delicious Tropical Fruit You Never Knew You Grew
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Monstera or Cheese Plant is a common house plant and outdoor landscaping feature. Most people know the plant but almost nobody knows you can eat it's fruit. You have to try it.
Get you Sleepy Lizard Avocados at: www.guacfarm.com
Not sure if this has been mentioned below but the “tingle” that is being referred to is calcium oxalate crystals. They can feel pretty much like eating fiberglass if the fruit isn’t ripe but as it ripens they dissolve back out into an oxalate acid. But getting a unripe piece into the back of your throat… you’ll remember that for a long time.
I have done that and I do remember it!
Ours stays burning no matter how long we let it ripen ):
@@SleepyLizard LMAO!
Yes, and beware of eating too much of this delicious fruit, especially if you're prone to kidney stones.
I am glad you mentioned that. I rather not take the risk.
I m from Malaysia. Here we call it EKOR NAGA ( DRAGON'S TAIL). Just want to share with u guys.u can also boil the leaves n drink the water. It looks n tastes like sugarcane juice. It is believed that the extract is good for treating cancer.
Btw thank u for sharing about the fruit.never knew it can b eaten.will go hunting for one tomorrow.😁
did you find a fruit?
Thank you for sharing! I love hearing all the different names people have for it! I never knew you can make a tea from it. I hope you find some of the fruit!
@@SleepyLizard not yet.😄.hv to keep on searching.
Interesting
Oh ada ke kat sini? Tak pernah dengar dan tak pernah nampak pun.
Here in Australia they are commonly called fruit salad plants. A lot of people don't know why anymore. I grew up spending Christmas holidays in Tonga where my Aunty would have them ready for me when we got there. My Danish dad called them Mexican breadfruit.
Lilanisi, yeah we call it the fruit salad fruit over here! What a great memory your aunty made for you.
It's called this because it tastes like multiple fruits at once, like a fruit salad
@@hollypuckett3931 smells like to too. so yummy
Messican?
Nice a fellow Dane
I’m so stoked/joyous/ecstatic 🥳
Found fruit ready for picking. 😝
AND we have 5x mature plants. Aaaaaaahhhhhh heaven sent free food. Completely happy to have watched your channel. THANK YOU ✨
Picked 2x today. Exciting time. I’ll keep you posted.
Extremely grateful 👍🏼🇦🇺
Thank you Penney. I love your enthusiasm!
In South Africa 🇿🇦 we call these guys delicious monster and I never thought of the edible implications! I have tonnes in my garden, off on a forage now! Thank you 😃
let us know if you find any. good luck!
You still alive ?
@@JWGreyling I survived 🤣
Va 😯 tack snälla för att du delar med dig av det här önskar att jag levde där 👍👏❤️🇸🇪🏡
Going by the flag I’m guessing you were from Sweden. And I would also love to live where you live.
It is a plant from where I come from. It tastes super delicious, there are no words to describe the exquisite flavor. That picante taste is part of its flavor.
Neli, I agree. Very hard to describe. I have one ripening on my counter now.
We've been growing and eating monsterio delishio, lol. for years we wrap ours in newspaper and they ripen beautifully.
yum. what part of the world are you in?
Australia, NSW
Yes I have eaten that fruit, it is delicious Wrap it in news paper in a warm place to ripen it up 👍👍
I don't meet many people who've tried it. Nice to meet you.
This just give me another reason to get more of these plants. I love Monstera delisiosa.
do it!!! 🤣
I live in South Florida and those plants are everywhere. I had no idea they gave fruit. I'm going to go check specially since were in July.
Joel, yeah just poke in behind the leaves...but make sure it's not private property or the owners might not react too kindly. But there's plenty planted in public areas.
I grow these for their fruit and just love them. Learned that they won't fruit in a pot. They need those extra roots to sink into the ground to get optimal nutrients for fruiting.
it really sends out roots doesn't it? they go everywhere
Oh no! My mouth is watering😭😭i have monstera plant my home and it is unlikely to produce such scrumptious fruit. I wish I could taste it.
I’ll have it again when it’s in season next year. You can buy it from our website. www.guacfarm.con
Grew up with these in the backyard. We used to stand the fruit upright in a glass and use a fork to to pick out the ripe flesh.
It’s all good isn’t it?
Very well presented sir! Really love how you deliver all those information. You really motivated me to be an amazing entrepreneur like you. Kudos to this video!!!
Umar, thank you for the encouragement. I appreciate it. I'm happy for you. Have a great weekend.
Yes, My mother grew it in her greenhouse in Idaho. Loved the fruit.
Paula thank you for this information. Lots of people are asking me if the fruit will grow indoors and you just confirmed it. If you could grow a tropical fruit in Idaho you could grow it anywhere
Here in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬, you find them growing everywhere also many people grow it in pots or outside their homes for decoration purposes. I never knew the fruit was edible. Thanks for that video, I will definitely try it out for myself and see 😄👍🏽
Elizabeth, thanks for the comment. please come back and let us know how you liked the taste
@@SleepyLizard and thank you too for sharing. Yes I will have to let you know my experience 😄👍🏽
Mine are bigger and better. Not picked yet. So grateful for your advice. I’ll keep you posted 🇦🇺
awesome. You're gonna love them.
My plant is fruiting for the last few years & i heard many years ago that its fruit was edible but i never dared eating it. Last year i noticed a bird eating into a ripe fruit voraciously as i watched amazingly. Right now there are a few fruits on it. I'll see but thnx for sharing the valuable knowledge
come. back and tell us how you liked it.
You called it my boi sleepy lizard that screen shot is perfect !!
Thanks Bigdogg, my son is helping me attract more attention to the channel.
No problem sleepy great channel got any seedlings of this plant.
I had my first taste of Monstera in beautiful Noosa on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. It was amazing! And I have them growing around my house in the Blue Mountains, too. They are so unique. Thanks for the excellent video 😊
and thank you for the positive comment.
I had no idea you could eat that!! I live on Maui an these plants are everywhere.. I’m goin hunting for these Lol thanks for sharing
oh yeah, if you're on Maui you'll find the fruit for sure.
I inherited a decently-sized monstera from my landlord when I moved in to my current flat. Last year it fruited and although I hadn't known it produced edible fruits, the name suggested that they were good to eat, so I did some searching and found out how to ripen them. I'm in Siberia, so it's strictly an indoor plant, but I give it a good feed and it enjoys the long days of our (short) summer.
Ok everyone, this should answer your question about growing the fruit indoors. If Rob can do it in Siberia (and there was another family who grew the fruit in Idaho) y'all can do it in your house too!
Thank you very much Rob.
@@SleepyLizard Oh ok so my dreams can come true lol
@@hotdamn9052 indeed.
That's so cool!
ok my question is answered!! I'm just down from Idaho, yes I'm sold and on your avocados,they are huge!! I'm not rich but I'll check out your shop, how about selling 4 packs would it even be worth it? Now that you've got everyone in on monster fruit ya gotta sell some!! They Sound Amazing
You do things like this and it’s the closest I ever get to wanting to leave Alaska. Not that I’ll ever leave... but it’s the closest I ever get to thinking I could visit the lower 48! 😉
I watch The Outdoor Boys channel and they recently relocated to Alaska (he's from there) and some days I might be willing to trade places with you. You ever see the northern lights?
Yes, and they can be amazing!! One night I was driving back from Fairbanks and the sky was so green with the aurora that I was able to turn off my headlights and still safely drive!
I have one growing in a pot 😃, never would have thought it produced edible fruit. Thank you for the information.
I hope you get fruit soon
@@SleepyLizard so this will produce fruit inside the home from a house plant?
@@jules-marcdavis6843 I Dom't know how the pollination works for monstera so I don't know if they'll fruit indoors or if you'll have to hadn't pollinate or what.
@@SleepyLizard got it!😯lol
I bought one in my local supermarket about ten years ago and it came with instructions on how to eat it attached to the small stem.
wow, so cool. did it ripen?
@@SleepyLizard It did and it did taste fantastic. Only down side was that I found just a bit more acidic than a pineapple so after eating a little it gave me a mild sore throat. Totally worth it though! I love trying new and unusual fruits!
@@peterripson Yes, it has the effect. I've had same thing happen with pineapple too. It's definitely more of a snack than a meal.
I bought a few about the same time and they ripened and were delicious. They looked terrible, though, as the outside became speckled with black, though the inside was still white. The ripe fruit gives off a wonderful smell of pineapple/tropical punch. To date, I have never seen them again in a supermarket.
You say temperate but I’d imagine you’d need a more subtropical to tropical zone to grow them outside. That being said I worked at a botanical garden and we had several huge Monsteras growing in the tropical room. Every now and then they’d have fruit ripen and it’d perfume the whole room.
BuffaloJoe, you are correct. Sometimes I accidentally call an avocado a mango or mix up other things. Others have pointed out my mistake too. thank you.
One of my favorite plant
so yummy right?
As an Aussie we have hundreds of these in my backyard, and I have picked some before (bout the size of my forearm) and never got around to looking up how to eat them before they went rotten. It's not the right time now, but I'm glad this video popped into my recommendations so I can give it a go!
Please come back and let us know if you enjoyed it.
Theyre yummy but eat the segments only as they fall off the fruit
@@carolflower8015 yeah, skipping ahead is the kind of mistake you only make once
Sounds like something really cool if you have kids or grandkids. Everyday after school there is more of this treat to eat.
My sons friends love to spend the weekend here. They enjoy the farm work because for them it's like play...they get dirty and sweaty and they enjoy learning about farming.
And if they get too greedy there’s something that awaits them if they do!
@@isaiah4478 a self regulating system
i love monstera deliciosa plant i have 2 pots now
that's awesome
l've no idea they bring out edible fruits. Thanks. We have one in a pot just outside our main door. Its growing like crazy and may outgrew its pot soon. In fact its sending its other roots to neighbouring pots for extra food.
Sam, these things are survivors. Not surprising at all that it's branching to other pots. I've chopped them up and new ones take hold of my mulch pile.
@@SleepyLizard Yes monsteras are hardy for sure. When I bring my pots outside like this time of year the aerial roots hit the lawn grow deep and embedded and I have to cut them when I bring my plants inside early October.
I would love to get my hands on some variegated types .
@@hotdamn9052 I've got a variegated one along my south fence line. You can see it in some of my vids
They'll send their roots right through the carpet and into the floor if you let them...
@@SleepyLizard Kinda like the rubber tree.
This plant was already thriving when I moved in to my house almost 23 years ago. Now it is growing around my yard. I never knew it fruit. I prune the leaves every year because they succumb to cold weather in winter. This June the leaves are still green, hopefully the remain so comes July. I will be looking out for the fruit.
Please come back and tell us if you find any
Fantabulous. I knew they were edible just needed you to teach me how. Have many of these plants. Whoa bring on summer.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou ❣️❣️❣️
🇦🇺
please come back and let us know how they taste below the equator!
@@SleepyLizard sure will. From Adelaide Sth Australia ✨
It is such a lovely plant I never knew you could eat the fruit.
come back and tell us if you try it
Thank you...
Your reaction to this is like my first reaction to passion fruit. I'm definitely going to have to try Monstera now. If I see it beside the road, I'm going to grab some ;)
passion fruit is so good. we have some growing now. can't wait to harvest.
This turned suggestive very fast!
0:11 😳
1:40 😂
1:47 🤣
That’s pretty interesting! I saw these all over Florida when I was there, never knew they where even remotely edible. I’m definitely trying a couple the next time I’m down there.
(Edit:) Also another great video. You’ve really seemed to nail down a good mix of funny, informative, and relatable lately. Keep up the good work.
Alex, thank you for the compliment. I been trying to put myself in a more conversational mind set prior to recording. I'm glad you noticed.
@@SleepyLizard I really have noticed that, but you also take criticism in stride and actively connecting with your viewers, always trying be better in any way. It’s commendable and I’ve enjoyed* every new* video more and more. I know we got off on the wrong foot, but now I’m cheering for guys, just keep being a good person!
@@AlexPeace246 that's funny. I enjoy interacting with everybody in the comments. I've met so many fascinating people since the channel got popular.
My daughter has a monstera growing in her room. Now I want to get one for outside and hopefully we’ll get some fruit from ours.
give it a try, bring it in on cold nights
I had heard of this fruit, and have even seens a few growing around my neighborhood, but i have never tried it. After watching this video and thanks to the information you have given me i will try it soon. Thanks!
Let us know if you liked it. I hope you do
I love monstera! One of my favorite plants. I have two growing outside in 25 gallon pots in Phoenix. Leaves are starting to get as large as yours. Hopefully one day I'll grow my own fruit! Great video. Such a beautiful plant
Keep looking for it. and sniffing for it. good luck!
Are they in the sun or in the shade? I am in Phoenix as well and would be fun to have in my back yard.
@@zappedguy I got some in shade and some in full sun.
Your plants need to get those extra roots into the ground, or you won't get fruit.
@@zappedguy morning sun only
Gracias amigo 😘😘😘😘
de nada
I love this plant
It is a beloved house plant that’s for sure
I have a friend who has beautiful Monsteras in her front yard. I love them because they are so beautiful with those giant green leaves. Never had any idea it was a fruit plant or that they grew as big as the one you have. Next time I go to her house I'm going to see if there is any fruit. I didn't know that there were so many different types of avocados. We had two avocado trees when I was growing up. All I know is that they were big and one gave fruit in the summer and you in the winter. I refuse to buy those tiny avocado that they sell at the store.
We used to have them outside my childhood home, it helped keep the house cool when we couldn't afford the electricity bill from the air con🙂 The fruit is bloody delicious, I was crushed when I came home from the navy and they'd cut them out! No, I don't think camellias are better!
What a bummer.
Very very unteresting! Love your content! Didnt know this plant actually has fruits! Gonna go find some tomorrow! 😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great info
Thank you for sharing.
you're welcome
Next time when Im in Florida Ill try to find one... As a german guy this is a once in a lifetime fruit i guess
oh yeah, come in the summer and you'll find it. Hello from across the Atlantic.
I love this! Just some guy that found out some really cool shit and wanted to share it with the world. We keep monsteras indoors in our climate I'm not sure they spring fruit. But I'll be on the lookout from now.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Enjoyed this video. Thanks.
You're welcome. Thank for the positive comment
ahh, you just answered a question I had ... recently I heard that these pods can be eaten ..... did not know the details on what to look for, when to pick them or what part is evadable ----- you answered all the questions in one shot! THANK YOU!
Sara, you're welcome and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
@@SleepyLizard for yeas we had it as a house plant. few years back I had to move.the plant out under a tree "temporarily" - pot and all - next thing a I know it grew roots into the ground and the leaves went form the typical 12-18 inches big leaves to now almost 3-4feet..... and I noticed the "pods" last year .....this year I have 3 for now - every time I walk by the area there is a sweet smell .... nothing else was blooming around it ....could not figure it out ..... thank you again for sharing this great info ..... will definitely pick one when its a bigger size and give it a try ...... what a treat. there is always Beaty around us, waiting to be explored and appreciated. may there be abundance for every one everywhere all the time.
@@saras7635 what a great story! I hope you enjoy the fruit.
They look nice too. I m almost ashamed. Surrounded by food in our country and not knowing it.
Thanks for your time and sharing with us!
Danny, I hope you find some so you can try it.
@@SleepyLizardthanks! Keeping an eye out for!
Its raining outside here in Scotland, but I'm happy too watching this outstanding video. I look at our wee Monstera in the corner... 8" high. OMG!
give it enough room and nutrition it will take over your whole house. My grandmother was born in Scotland but we don't know what city.
@@SleepyLizard I wish!
Do you ever see any variegated Mosteras out there?
Your grandmother - that is interesting - Tom, do you know of any words she was fond of saying, or expressions? Sometimes they are unique to an area.
Bit much of me to ask but what was her name?
I have a couple questions. 1. would monstera thrive in Vermont? I'm concerned about our winters. 2. do the potted plants commonly bear fruit? 3. can you let the fruit ripen entirety before eating? or will it begin to rot before then? I just started watching your videos a week ago. I love all of the info you give. keep it going brother!
Hi Paul,
I Monstera will struggle outdoors in Vermont. It needs a very hot climate. USDA hardiness zone 10 A or above.
I don’t know if it will fruit indoors or not. It would be a worthwhile experiment.
And thank you for the compliment on my videos. I really appreciate the encouragement.
I forgot to answer your question about letting the whole fruit ripen. I never tried it but I’m pretty sure it won’t work because you’ve got 1 to 2 days to eat the exposed area before it starts to go bad.
@@SleepyLizard First time viewer here and love the video, ill have to check out more. Its always a mark of a good host to respond to their viewers like you have! Florida man here with Mexican neighbors that grow this, they ripen the whole fruit by putting a bit of water in a jar and placing the fruit bottom end down in the jar and put on the lid to let the gasses build up to ripen the fruit as a whole. Much like putting a banana in a bag To ripen it faster/ more evenly. Cant wait to check out your other videos to see what's growing on.
@@AAVSIC thank you for the tip. I'm going to ripen one using that method now.
@@AAVSIC Thanks for the very useful ripening tip.
In my country we have Guembe (Philodendron undulatum), very similar but it taste like sweeeeet tender corn, with a buttery texture. It ripens uniformly, and it also bites you hard if you eat it before time
You just gave me something I wanna try. Thank you
omg!this is Amazing!A million thank you sir,im from the tropical country of the philippines qnd here is so much plenty of monsteracheese in our country...now i know..thank you for sharing this knowledge..Cheers like bqnana and pineapple..Godbless
Tell me if you find one and how you like the taste
WHOAAAAAA!!!!! My fave plant. I have one in my house. Whoaaaaaa! I’m coming to visit. 😂😂😂
Bee, it's soooo tasty. you're gonna love it.
Ima give my plant side eye until I get a fruit. 😂😂😂
@@beecaldero That's how I been with my jobaticaba lately
@@SleepyLizard I’ve never seen that in person!!! I want to try it so badly! But yes. Keep giving side eye. They can feel it 😂
Been eating them since I was a kid. They grew in everyones yard.
yeah, I see them all over
@@SleepyLizard I live in South East Asia now where a plant sells for AU$25 up. I have been saying to my wife we need to invest in one. I very much miss the flavour sensation. I have artis growing that tastes similar, very delicous. Just not quite the full falvour of monsterio.
Wow, beautiful yard
thanks Mayra!
I have two indoor plants I'm so intrigued by this.
Hi Jasmine, I'm not sure if they'll fruit indoors but if you can get yours to produce it is soooo delicious.
@@SleepyLizard Could I move them outside, I live Michigan that probably wouldn't be a good idea??
@@jwb2699 in the summer yes but as soon as it gets cold you'll have to bring them back in
@@SleepyLizard Thank you!!!!
Can you propagate the fruit into more monstera plants? That would be a cool video! I know you can cut the stock into sections and plant those to make more Monstera plants.
I've never tried. It's way easier to take a cutting and transplant it
They do have seeds, but the plant segments have their own roots so there’s really no need.
Wow,i did not know that's edible. We wasting a lot of that fruit because we don't know it can be eaten.I will try that next time.Thank you for sharing this .i learn something new today from you .Stay safe
Please come back and tell us when you taste one. I’d like to know your impression
I've seen Monstera plant grown indoors but never knew what it was or that it got so large. Everytime I watch this a channel my mouth starts watering because of the delicious fruit. .. I know anything bought in stores can't compare because they pick it green and store it cool so it won't spoil before it gets too market. 🥂 Cheers
Nena, you are so right. I bought some supermarket mangos recently and they were so bland.
@@SleepyLizard even apples don't have the same flavor they used to have..
@@nenaelliott8058 dont' get me started on tomatoes
@@SleepyLizard yuck. You can't buy a decent tomato in a grocery store.
Just ordered a box of avocados. Looking forward to it!
thanks for the order. I appreciate it.
lovely to watch
thank you Zaza
best explanatory vid, thanks
thanks for the compliment Parker.
Oh wow, didn't know Monstera has edible fruits, amazing
Do you have any near you that you can try?
@@SleepyLizard There's a lot of them on the roadside, I will definitely keep my eyes peeled next time I pass them😁
I was thinking about getting my parents one of these. They have a plant in their room they keep having to move because their curtains don't let much light in and I've heard they do great in low light conditions because they usually grow in the forest floor and don't get much light.
yes plus they are impossible to kill no matter how hard you try
The first time I knew this can eaten...I am living in the jungle but I only like this place
sounds like you had an adventure
thank you
You’re welcome
What a cool guy!
Thank you deepens
learn something new every day thanks! now i really want to try one
do they grow near you?
@@SleepyLizard in the past when I was in Florida I see them all the time, i'm currently in Oregon
Thanks for sharing the info. I have a lot of these in huge buckets and have seen the fruit but never knew it was eatable.
give it a try and let us know if you liked it
woah!! 😮 i will try and look for that plant, im on a tropical country.
Naldz, what country are you in?
wow never seen such collection of monstera
they love it here in south florida. I struggle to control them
@@SleepyLizard can you send them to Philippines 🤣🤣
Got this video kn my recommended. Avocados and mango? Two of my favourite things. I have a big garden so I know all of that is hard work, but ... lucky you!
Hard work yes but totally worth it. What do you grow?
So I've known this fruit for ages, I've eaten it, grown the plant and my grandmother used to talk about it, and yes you can buy it in the markets in madeira Island.
Is it expensive in the markets there? It's very rare and really expensive here.
@@SleepyLizard the last time I was in madeira was Jan 1994 and they sold for about 570 escudos which was like 5.20 Australian dollars per fruit so about $4.30 usd each ...... I'd say they're still expensive.... First time I ate them was in cairns thry were growing at a tafe garden and I knew exactly what they were so I picked about 7 of them straight from the garden, no one paid any attention to them...in madeira its called fruta deliciosa, translating to delicious fruit...
Monstera and pineapple plants are both Aroids as pineapples are in the Bromeliad family . They are the cousin to the air layer plants .
yeah and the tingle you get from the monstera is same as when you eat too much pineapple but a lot stronger from the monstera
I Uganda 🇺🇬 we call them pineapple, (white pineapple), they gat a nice scent
Smell so good yes
ive heard that these plants will only produce fruit if its in the desired climate as far as heat and humidity. I have friends who have had these as indoor plants (in michigan) and they have never produced fruit.
I knew these could grow fruit before i ever owned one and was always hesitant getting one because i didnt want an indoor plant that grows fruit (i assumed it would attract bugs) then i found out they only grow them in ideal climate and bought 2 :)
very informative video!
that is true. they need a tropical climate. I've not heard of any fruiting indoors
That was very educational. I have these as house plants. They also come with pretty variegations like the Monstera Thai constellation and the Monstera albo. I saw a guy posting the fruit on Facebook, but my Houseplants never produce a fruit, only if they grow outside. And I live in zone 9b. We still get some frost here now and then, so I can't grow them outside.
Btw, do you also grow Durian?
I do not grow Durian. I know about it because what people say about the smell though.
@@SleepyLizard I would be your best cutomer, if you did. It is my absolute favorite fruit.
Cheeeeeeeese I love nature!
me too
In case one has ever wondered what the Incredible Hulk's parts look like.
I’m gonna pretend you’re referring to my biceps.💪💪
Thanks for sharing n i never thought its edible
Give it a try sometime
Wow! Fantastic video on monstera fruit! Greetings from Missouri ♡🌱
Hello Missouri, do you grow Monstera up there?
@@SleepyLizard ....we have two large monstera plants in pots and also a small potted monstera adansoniii. None of these have made fruit yet. Wish we could grow them outdoors as you are doing but doubt they would survive our cold winter months here.
Loved this video. I didn’t know you could eat that monstra pod.
Thanks Miguel, give one a try and let us know how you liked it.
👍🏻 Wow, fascinating! We call them Delicious Monsters here in South Africa .. now i know why. My dad has one growing under a Bunyan tree, and I've noticed how the squirrels attacked the fruit. But they ended up just wrecking it which seemed like such a waste - i guess they missed your video and why it's important to let it ripen 🤣
Now that i know the secrets, I'll give it a try next time i see it fruiting. Thanks for sharing!
Btw - any tips on cultivating them?
Darryl, squirrels do so much damage to all my fruit. I hate them. I dont do anything to the monstera. I just let them grow under my avocado trees and along my fence line. I suppose I should look into how to boost the crop.
@@SleepyLizard 100% on the squirrels! We also have some kind of exotic guava that smells like pineapple, but we've never been able to taste the fruit - thanks to the squirrels ransacking the tree before they ripen 🤬
Hello i love it. Wish i have 1 even seeds only. Philippines with love❤️
you'll find one I'm sure. Have you seen the plant near you?
@@SleepyLizard Monstera deliciosa, in Philippines is very expensive.
Informative as always ! Can you make a video on the different varieties of avocados you sell with a description of each of they're flavors....
Wayne, this is an excellent idea and some thing I’ve been trying to figure out how to do. The varieties ripen at different times of year so I probably need to record segments. Maybe show by month and then edit it all together at the end of the year
@@SleepyLizard I would definitely be interested in that!
@@E.P.7131 Me Too!!
I'm a new sub and checked out your website, it is Awesome! Even if your fruits aren't in season it's good to know,I'm going to keep your site in mind,I've got to try those avocados! Thanks for the fun video.
thanks Jules, we'll be selling Fall variety avocados starting 2nd week of September.
wow..thanks for the info,
you're welcome
It is a common indoor plant also here in Europe
yes, very popular
I had tried very very ripe, still feel a little bit of the oxalic crystal in the back of my throat, the smell is wonderful, like the sweetest bananas with very aromatic sweet pineapple. There's had to be a way to remove all the oxalic acid maybe in a lab because that fruit is awesome
Marcos, yes sometimes there's a little sting left in them like when you eat a pineapple. I think the longer you let it sit the less the sting.
@@SleepyLizard yes but pineapple doesn't have oxalic acid crystals, there's a perfect point to eat Monstera fruit but it's kind of tricky to determine it's has to be really really ripe.
@@MarcosCappa and the riper the sweeter too!
I have four big pots of them in my house in New England. I wish the fruited indoors lol. The fruit is delicious for sure, I had it a few times.
that's so great that you got to taste it.
Even better, the very tip of Florida is a subtropical or temperate rainforest. Most of the rest of FL up the east coast is temperate deciduous forest. Wish we could grow these in NE Georgia outside, but they don't survive in an 8a hardiness zone. However, Pawpaws will grow here, but not in your area. Too difficult to grow for production though. Some bananas survive the winter all the way to zone 8a/7b (just above the fall line in NC), but like most other tropical fruits, we don't have required length of warm season for fruit maturation. I've seen brown turkey figs grown with protection as far north as New Jersey, but they thrive in Virginia and south. I'll bet you probably grown some great varieties of tropical figs too! What a great video! _Fantastic_ methodology for sales promotion. I hope your farm flourishes! Stay safe out there!
thanks for the encouragement Laughter, I appreciate it.
10:50 Nice.
thanks avocadopancake
I love that TH-cam brought me here
Glad you found us Mark. Welcome to the channel!
@@SleepyLizard I'm popping out now to look for some edible monsters
@@mazamatov did you find any?
I've tried it before it's great. Definitely right about making sure it ripe.
I just picked a few today, can't wait.
@@SleepyLizard nice ! Wrong time of year here in Australia!!
My mother has some of these. She has eaten several fruit off of them. She also has a less common variegated version of the plant.
the variegated are beautiful. I've got one along my north fence. I love the look. thanks for your message.
