I just ate this in Costa Rica and loved it. I’ll be looking to grow one of these myself. I really enjoyed your videos and got a lot of information from this. Thank you!!
Nice job getting it to fruit! I’ve had mine for almost 3 years now and still no flowers or fruit yet, I am hoping that mine fruit hopefully within 2 years from now.
They can? They look and feel really unappetizing though. But I would boil or stir fry them in a survival situation. Mine already sprouted from sitting in the pods for 6 months.
@@TheMelvinWei I never tried to eat Inga's seed, so take my previous statement with caution (do not poison yourself over the random comment of a dude on the internet). I dont know if what I readed applied for all specie of the genus or just some of them, and I don't know if you still can consume them cooked after germination either. Also, they are definitely inedible raw. Either way I guess that the seeds should be more energy dense than the arils of this fruit (in survival situation). You can see it has a giant bean tree with arils has a bonus.
The best content on TH-cam❤
Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching, hope you have fun growing ice cream bean!
Very cool to see cutting to fruit, never seen this type of plant and fruit before :)
It's a hardy plant and grows fast, this series has been enjoyable.
Am glad to learn of this plant 🍨🍨🍨beans. That reminds me to use Epsom salt 🧂to help relieve my cousin’s aching knees too 😅
Haha. It's weird adding so much bath salt to my fertilizer solution.
i like ur youtube channel, melvin wei!

Maybe the high elevation, cold and dryness in Utah is too much for this tropical tree?
@@TheMelvinWei I doubt it’s impossible for it to fruit here I will try and get it to fruit but it might just take longer then it did with yours.
I read that Inga's seeds can be cooked like beans, but I don't know if it is for every species of the genus Inga.

Glad that you stopped wearing those aweful things on your arms.
I did an update just now of my ice cream bean tree
I saw your updates
Bury the roots and it’ll get better water to its leaves
Any dirt I pile on would just wash away because it's so far above the rim of the planter. There's no room.
Bud. This tree has deep roots.
Slap it in the ground or a 36 inch box..or it will be root bound by next year..
I just had my second harvest and will likely end the series. This tree grows too fast to continue past this point.
only 1 comment, make it 2!
Awesome journey.
A short two-year journey to fruit, very easygoing.
