oh my god do you have any photos or such recorded you would share? sounds awesome i have been thinking of getting an allotment space in the UK to grow but most have warned me its probably not worth it after rats and birds and the lack of maintenance etc at least in my local area is a nightmare plus the greenhouse built in some of the spaces are just mostly neglected meaning id have to put a whole lot of money into renovating a place. my garden is pretty much no use its pretty small and about 3/10th of it is concrete, we have my nephew we look after on weekends and a waffle of life problems i wont go into that makes it much harder to even think of starting, unless i do a grow in the window type thing but people i see get horrific results and fruit that barely looks appetising, when you see them clementine tree's or chilli or tomato trees i mean plants etc. want to try growing unusual variety's of black grapes but i dont know if UK climate is even worth trying. i may be able to grow em but will they be as good as i get in my local. sorry thats my 2 cents.

@@Dockhead You can try outdoor potted plants or have raised bed planters made for your yard. There are a lot of fruit trees that when grafted onto dwarfing rootstock can be as short as 6 ft. tall. Boyo, you can also get fruit trees that have different types of fruit grafted on it such as peach nectarine, plum, cherry and apricot. In the US they are called fruit salad trees. Depending on where you are in the UK you might be able to grow some of the hardier citrus on dwarfing rootstock or a loquat tree. Loquats are delicious! Start small and work your way up from there. In a half barrel planter you could easily grow a small herb garden sufficient for your needs. When I lived in Army housing I only had 200 sq. ft. of yard with crummy soil. In it I managed to grow a lot of flowers and herbs including a fairy garden with real English bluebells.

Those reviews were good at the time but you’ve gotten so much better at describing what you’re tasting, not to mention there could be a lot of variation in flavor from fruit to fruit! You also reviewed a lot of iconic rare fruit in less-than-ideal circumstances so I’m glad to see another go around! Aibu is a fruit I’ve been dying to try! One of these days I’ll track one down, hopefully before my seedling sized trees produce fruit themselves!

@@griffinc3263 Pretty sure the variety here is the Abiu, I've eaten them and cut em in the Peruvian amazonian area, they are closely related though, the one here is pretty yellow skin, thick, has sticky latex and big seeds. Oddly enough there are a lot of amazonian fruits that are similar or the same as the ones found in south east Asia, so we share a lot of variety of wild fruit, with some exceptions. One fruit I'd love to see on the show is the Aguaje fruit, a very odd fruit for sure, it's like a big avocado sized seed, surrounded by an oily paste like flesh with a hard to describe sweet flavor, and it's skin is more like small hard scales that you feel off.

Have you thought about going to Miami Fruits location and buying one of every fruit and have a smorgasbord with a couple of friends? You guys could stay in a hotel, get the fruits, share and eat the fruits, and just bascially have a video of you guys discussing the fruits. Unless, you found out you basically already did videos on the fruits they sell in the past. Maybe, just maybe, if you told them in advance that you will be doing a video on all their fruits, they just might hand them over for free since it would be free advertisement for them. Hey, that's the ticket! June, good time to get a durian and cut it while on their plantation or smuggle it in the hotel. If anybody says "what's that smell" as you go to or leave your car just say "I was wondering the same thing." Mwahaha!😁 Wonder how many different kinds of durian they sell. So, yeah, Viva La Smorgasbord!!!

A lesson to be Mate always give past fruit a second chance because sometimes the first tasting can be obscured. Now you point it out the Star Apple does look like the Abiu wow you blown my mind all these fruits are probably hybrids of each other and no one knows nothing i m sure theres a family tree that can be made where Abiu and Star Fruit are branches. My observations I think theres notes of Caramel if you let the fruit oxidise, it oxidises like a Hass Avocado or Apple in seconds as the sticky latex is released thru the fruit when its cut. Cheers fir the review sometimes a second update review on a fruit might change ones mind on first tasting.
