trikus says... Easily grown from seed , I have had fruit in 4 years from seed grown plants , and in 3 years from large stem cuttings . Maybe these were spoilt a bit with massive amounts of mulch and compost , but I enjoyed the fruits so much I had them planted all over Mums yard in Childers . One year I noticed small beetles crawling all over a freshly opened Monstera flower , and the next year found that fruit to be full of seeds . Very dissapointing as not much fruit to eat . Never pick the fruit until it starts to hang down from usual vertical to almost horizontal .Always best to allow some scales to fall . | About the Author Trikus Tully 10th March 2010 9:55am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... It is calcium oxalate crystals in the unripe flesh that irritate the throat and mouth . That is why it always advised to not force the scales off the fruit to eat a Monstera . They ripen best at room temperature , insects can be kept away simply by wrapping in paper . Ripening can be sped up by placing the wrapped fruit inside a plastic bag with a ripe banana or an apple . | About the Author Trikus Tully 13th March 2010 7:26pm #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |
