Linton starts with ... The Chinese Kadsura flowers are opening now and since there are 2 or 3 plants all flowering at the same time they should achieve pollination and make fruit right? However, can't find much information about what the fruits taste like or how good they are to eat. Please advise if you have already tasted these and if they are worth growing. Thank you.

Linton says... Hullo Joel, how you going... the plants are flowering at about 3 - 4 years so you won't have long to wait. It's not often that we come across an exotic fruit plant like these that are very cold hardy and can grow well (and flower) in temperate zones like Melbourne and Adelaide. They grow in the wild in Southern China and Northern Vietnam where they are called Na rung, meaning wild Na as distinct from the more common Na which is a different species altogether. I asked a friend from Vietnam about the taste and he told me the Na fruit are very expensive there now. The white part in the centre is eaten and is nice and sweet and they don't eat the thick skin around it. Nice pictures of Na rung fruit here: http://vietnamnet.vn/vn/kinh-doanh/thi-truong/na-rung-khung-nang-toi-4kg-tien-trieu-qua-406710.html To be continued..... | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 18th December 2017 8:32pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Attention Anileve: Dear Anileve how you going? Yes Kadsura coccinea is grown in Australia and they are easy to grow in Melbourne's temperate climate but don't seem to do quite so well in warmer zones. My vines are currently flowering as it is summer over here. You can see more pictures of my plants on the site www.yumtrees.com cheers!
