Kerry starts with ... Hello everyone Does anyone grow white choko and can offer a seed or two or three...I have not grown or eaten them for years. My late fatherinlaw loved them but said his would get stung too much to bother growing them. I would love to grow some in his honour. We lost him a couple of months ago. Hoping anyone out there knows how I can get onto some seeds please. Have a great weekend. Best wishes Kerry | About the Author Kerry7 Warwick.

BJ says... Hi Wazza, i'm on the North-west - Keperra. I only have 3 fruits saved, and all have shot. I'll get in contact with the three people who have replied. i'm not sure what's particularly special about them. I find them a bit better than the green, but i know folks here have been after them, so have saved a few to spread around. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 9th September 2011 7:14pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

wazzamcg says... Hi All, I have a bag of white choko's interested people may want me to send them ;-) I don't want any money for them besides postage. If you want one or two, please send me your email address with details etc. They are great to eat when they are egg sized and the seed has not developed ;-) My email address is mcgoldrick1@optusnet.com.au I will try to accommodate 2 per person depending on the responses I receive.

wazzamcg says... Hi All To those who received the white choko's or expecting them, please consider doing what BJ did for me - offer them to those in need next season. I have since cut my plant right back after it started growing over my dwarf mulberry. BJ deserves a lot of thanks. Many thanks for the nice words I have received in emails.

wazzamcg says... For those not sure on how to plant choko's - I suggest the following. I would plant the choko out after the shoot is about 4" to 6" long. Also, I would plant it out sideways as well - half above the ground and half below it. As seen in the picture 1. The root system comes out of the same spot as the shoot, as seen in picture 2 below. Planting it sideways means that the roots can focus on the soil and the shoot can focus on the air and sunlight. Hope this helps ;-)
