Eugenia sp Casca Molle - When a seed goes too long it might have an outer shell that may need to be cracked to expose the true seed. In this case, I figured just take a hammer to it and find out :) Now it will either germinate or rot. Fingers crossed. #garden #gardening #gardentips #fruit #rarefruit

Every new year we make sure we’re outside to see this amazing flyover from our yard.

This is one of the cool perks of being a gardener in Los Angeles!

Red Surinam cherry versus the black Surinam cherry. Look how crazy the size difference is. The black has a superior flavor, but the red is just a lot more to eat. #surianmcherry #eugenia #fruit #garden

During the Renaissance, women are believed to have used the juice of the berries as eyedrops, intended to dilate their pupils and make them more seductive. DO NOT EAT or TOUCH any part of this plant. However beautiful, all parts are toxic. #garden #nightshade #solanaceae #Drusilla #gardeningfacts

Mamey sapote, aka Pouteria sapota, is a cool fruit that tastes like sweet pumpkin mixed with sweet potato. It’s a tropical fruit tree but grows well in Southern California. #gardening #gardening #fruit #fruittrees #tropicalfruit #rarefruit
