Lissa says... Cuttings are very hardy Rebecca and can sit around for quite a while (or get posted!) without being worse for wear. Unfortunately, mine are both small - waiting for them to put on some growth when the weather warms up. Maybe someone further afield can provide you with a cutting through the post. | About the Author Lissa Strathpine Qld 13th August 2011 6:39pm #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lissa says... I'm keeping my one small plant (donated from a friend) in a pot placed on good soil hoping it will root down into the soil. I've heard of this method before for ensuring good drainage. Having had two plants in the ground that just keeled over for no good reason, am hoping this will keep this plant alive. | About the Author Lissa Strathpine Qld 15th May 2013 6:21am #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... Live on Hawthorns and wild Acorns for a week then tell me how Babaco tastes. Most of this is relative and all in the mind :D To me Babaco tastes fine, I let them fall on the ground then come and eat them maybe a week later or when ever it is that they are fully ripe and I'm walking past. | About the Author Jason Portland 27th May 2013 2:24pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Babaco blended up with honey and mint and frizzante is great. On thir own they are a bit of an acquired taste, but I wouldnt put them in the starvation food category by a long shot. I just pulled mine out because it fruited very well the first year, but was having to put too much energy into survival rather than fruiting over the next 3 years. I tried killing it three times, pulling it out and throwing it on the ground - it resprotued every time and had the will to live, but not the will to fruit unfortunately... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 28th May 2013 7:53am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
