Where To Buy Caimito Fruit In Florida [REPACK]

P. caimito is commonly considered to be native to the headwaters of the Amazon. It grows wild in the lower eastern part of the Andes from southwestern Venezuela to Peru. It also grows around Tingo Maria and Iquitos, Peru, and it can commonly be found in the Province of Guayas in Ecuador, where it is sold in the markets. The abiu was cultivated by Amerindians and it became widespread in the Amazon, but the origins of the fruit's distribution outside the Amazon is uncertain. In the Amazon basin, it is found to grow heavily in the northern Brazilian state of Pará, but is also found sparsely in collections from the Atlantic rainforest near Rio de Janeiro and Bahia.[3] It can also be found in Colombia in areas such as the regions of Caquetá, Meta, and Vaupes and it is very plentiful in Amazonas, Venezuela. It has also been growing for a very long time in Trinidad.

The fruit is known by different regional names in countries of production; in Brazil, it is known as abiu, in Trinidad it is the yellow star apple or caimitt, there are also the purple and green skin caimitt varieties (distinct from the star apple); Colombians know it as the caimo, caimito amarillo (again not to be confused with Chrysophyllum cainito, which is known as caimito in some countries) or madura verde; in Ecuador it is known as the luma or cauje; in Venezuela as temare; in Portugal as abieiro; and in Ghana as alasa. It is also known as abio.

How big was the caimito fruit? was it like a golf ball?it can have fruit in socal( depend on areas, most humidity), just because it blooms at the wrong season( in winter mostly)so the fruits can only grow up to an egg size.

Just a side note, I know the Caribbean nature in some of you will cheer, I know I did. The tropically grown tree is a part of the Sapotaceae family, where it produces a sweet exotic fruit that has a similar shape to an apple and a star-shaped interior as its pulp; hence, the name star apple.

Central Florida: The middle portion of the peninsula is an intermediate zone, where some tropicals and some temperate zone fruits can grow side-by-side, with microclimate and recent weather determining which types are doing best at any particular time and place. After one or two mild winters, the tropical fruits can bear heavily in central Florida. In years with colder winters, the tropicals take a hit, but the winter chill can make temperate zone fruits produce abundantly. Citrus fruits are particularly well-suited to the central portion of Florida, although HLB disease is a major problem for them these days.

Chrysophyllum cainito L. (Sapotaceae), known commonly as star apple or caimito, is a tropical tree that bears edible fruits. The fruits are grown commercially in certain tropical and subtropical areas, such as southern Florida. In this study, the fresh fruits were extracted with methanol and partitioned with hexane and ethyl acetate sequentially. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction displayed high antioxidant activity in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay (IC50 = 22 microg/mL). Activity-guided fractionation of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction was performed to identify the antioxidant constituents. Nine known polyphenolic antioxidants, (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), (+)-gallocatechin (3), (-)-epigallocatechin (4), quercetin (5), quercitrin (6), isoquercitrin (7), myricitrin (8), and gallic acid, have been identified from the fruits. Of these nine antioxidants, 2 is present in the highest concentration in star apple fruits (7.3 mg/kg fresh weight), and 5 showed the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 = 40 microM) in the DPPH assay.

Until we see the disease resistance confirmed, you may want to explore some of the many semi-tropical/tropical fruit we can grow in southwest Florida. From abiu (caimito) to Ziziphus (jujube), there are more than 100 species of fruit to experiment with and see which flavors suit your fancy. A book by Charles R. Boning, 'Florida's Best Fruiting Plants' (2006 Pineapple Press), is an excellent text to tease your palate and get your mind going on the many possibilities.

Tree Description: The star apple its mostly appreciated as a fruit tree in home landscapes. It is a beautiful tree, making a perfect tree for landscaping in South Florida. The canopy opens forming an umbrella shape where the underside leaves shines with a golden brown color meanwhile the upper side shines with an emerald green color. The fruit, round, oblate, ellipsoid or somewhat pear-shaped, 2 to 4 in (5-10 cm) in diameter, may be red-purple, dark-purple, or pale-green. It feels in the hand like a rubber ball.

Thanks for your comment. The following website might be helpful in finding a nursery that sells caimitos (Chrysophyllum cainito): This University of Florida website lists telephone numbers of different Florida county extension offices that provide free information on tropical fruits and nursery location information. Good luck with your search. Best, Milena

Neosilba certa was recorded in five plant species, although the number of specimens was considerably low. A single specimen was collected in Spondias sp., Inga sp., M. glaba and P. cattleianum, and three specimens in E. uniflora. Neosilba zadolicha was obtained in Mangifera indica (mango), A. muricata, M. glaba, P. guajava and P. cattleianum. Earlier surveys pointed out that this species is present in Spondias sp., (umbu-cajazeira) in other states of Northeast region (Santos et al. 2004) and it was considered a primary pest of commercial C. reticulata orchards in Paraiba (Lopes et al. 2008). A survey in Mato Grosso do Sul State showed that N. zadolicha infests mistletoe fruits (Psittacanthus acinarius) (Loranthaceae) (Caires et al. 2009). In Jaboticabal-SP, the same species was found in fruits of Pouteria caimito Radlk. (Sapotaceae), representing the first record of N. zadolicha infesting this host in Brazil (Fernandes et al. 2013). In municipalities of the Southeastern Brazil, N. zadolicha was obtained from floral buds of Passiflora alata (sweet passion fruit) (Aguiar-Menezes et al. 2004). 041b061a72
