Madeira ID.
If I have this Id as correct,
is someone able to explain this plant, and why it appears in "sub tropical" fruit? I only recognise this a sa plant I sometimes grow and place on the front porch, nothing to do with fruit. http://cjoint.com/data/ibcLGDjDWK.htm thanks |

Hi Rodney.
The fruit is a 'ceriman monstera deliciosa' often called simply 'monstera' and is related to the breadfruit. Here more info which I hope helps: http://www.destinationtropicals.com/...s/plant_39.asp -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada -- http://www.amedialuz.ca/ "rodney" pookiethai@NOSPAM iprimus.com.au wrote in message ...

Thank you Tony,
yes, I knew it as "mostera deliciosa" and at our residence at Como Beach we had a gigantic one running wild, which indeed did fruit as far as I can remember. I had no idea the fruit was edible. Surprise, surprise. I wish I had known, I could have disected the fruit for a captain cook inside. rodney. "Tony Vella" wrote in message news Hi Rodney.

Rodney, perhaps it's a Queensland thing, but I used to have aged
relatives from Bundaberg who made a quite delicious jam out of monstera - slightly tart. Haven't had it for ages.

Interesting Tony,
never seen it before at markets. It may need perhaps the Queensland weather for appropriate ripening. The one in my garden looked similar to a Banksia nut, hard and upappealing. On "Master Chef" George cooked a desert with dried fruit and tomatoes, another I would like to taste.

Granted,
but have you ever had it as a sweet / desert? "Blair" wrote in message ... On Aug 1, 6:35 am, "rodney" wrote: Interesting Tony, never seen it before at markets.
