BJ says... Does anyone have a recipe for lulo? Is it just squeeze the fruit into a blender and add as much sugar as you need to make it palatable? Mine is going nuts right now - its the wild type with nasty thorns, a low spreading almost groundcover habit and gives masses of fruit without water or any other care. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 17th April 2012 10:01pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Mike, is this a naranjilla you sent as seed some time ago? I must have got it mixed up with something called pea egplant?. It came as a larger than pea sized yellow round fruit chockas with seed. I'll post some pics of my Naranjilla to compare. Mine has very few very short spines and more purple-ish in colour.

Mike says... John Mc on reflection that was not my finest hour on the sharing front.They are however a valued variety in SE Asia for the abundance and sourness of fruit.Lucy's cocona fruit tasted quite similar to me and I have never had a 'good' naranjilla.The pea eggplant I sent has masses of pea sized fruit that ripen from white to red, rather than the prickly tree like one with green fruit. | About the Author 18th April 2012 5:44pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... John Mc yes it is just the common asian naranjilla with less purple and extra spikes.I see the spines are still modest but that will change if you elect to keep it.In the Asian food combination of sweet/savoury/sour that particular naranjilla can takle a dish to a place the humble lime can't reach. | About the Author 18th April 2012 7:16pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
