Abundance of fruits!

Harvesting some of our edibles. We only get what we need and leave some for the wildlife especially for the birds. πŸ˜‹πŸ’•πŸŒ±


Fruits from our mulberries planted 6 years ago.



Peanut butter fruits from our young tree outplanted in 2020 during the covid lockdown days.



Rambutan fruits from a young mother tree bearing for the firstime.



Barbadine ripe fruits from a 3 year old vine.
This is a favorite snack of some wildlife. 



This is still an unknown variety of passion fruit outplanted last year 2022.



The ordinary variety for me of Passion Fruit which I am now growing for 4 years. These gaves us endless supply of fresh fruits and juice.



I have been growing pineapples for more than 10years now so I have a lot since I always plant the crowns and the young branches for additional new plant. 🍍🍍🍍



Abundance of rare fruits in the future if our collections at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM will start producing 3-5 years from now.

Chupa-chupa (Quararibea cordata)

Chupa-chupa (Quararibea cordata) also known as South American Sapote.

This is native to the Amazon rainforest vegetation and is common throughout parts of Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia, as well as rural southern Panama. Propagation is from seeds. Fruiting : 3 — 4 years. 😍🌱🌳



Extra seedlings will be available soon at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM for "SWAP" with other tropical fruit trees that I still don't have in my collection.

Pisang Seribu or Thousand Fingers Banana

Ripening of Pisang Seribu or Thousand Fingers Banana. Successfully grown this from macropropagation November of 2021 and outplanted April 2022. 



From the small young banana plant up to harvest took exactly 2 years. πŸŒπŸ˜‹πŸŒ±



Limited suckers for planting are available at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.




Sinukuan (Breynia villosa)

Ripe fruits of Sinukuan (Breynia villosa). I rarely monitor them since they started fruiting so I just let the ripe fruits fall and let the seeds germinate on their own below the mother plant. 



It's been almost 2 years since I outplanted my first specimen from the batch of seeds I germinated way back November of 2021. 😍🌱🌳



Memories of the young Sinukuan seedlings almost 2 years ago. 



I got fascinated by the "cross" mark at the center if its stem. These woods are cut into desired sizes for amulets and bracelets known to bring good luck and wards off evil spirits to those who wear it. 



Limited seedlings for planting are available at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM .

This is native to the Philippines and It has no thorns compare to the most common Seryales/Serali (Flacourtia indica) which grows here naturally spread by birds. 😍🌱🌳


Successfully germinated this from the seeds of the ripe fruit 3yrs ago.

Ever bearing Mulberries

These Mulberries had been devastated by the flood last month but not uprooted so the tendency is to produce fruit after the stress. πŸ˜‹πŸŒ±❤️



Lots of ripe fruits will be harvested next week and I am planning to process it into a jam. 



A bowl of fresh mulberries loaded with Vit.C and antioxidants. 



Lots of planting materials are available at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
