I Grew The Fruit You Can Only Find In Video Games

[@CrimsonChannie]

In Montréal,Quebec I’ve seen starfruit in the normal grocery store for a period during the year 😮

[@growithjessie]

I used to see them ALL the time in Canada when I was younger. Fast forward to today, they are very difficult to find!

[@CrimsonChannie]

@@growithjessie I still see it occasionally but definitely not a often anymore 🤔 you should try Montreal your next trip there’s surprisingly quite a divers selection of fruit imports depending on the store

[@SabikatunNahar]

It is one of the most common fruit in our country

[@growithjessie]

where are you from? :)

[@saivhonamante8969]

That fruit is very rare in our country🥲

Hi Jessie! I love your videos :) I’m not sure if they’re available in Canada but have you ever heard of the cloudberry? It’s a berry that’s orange and looks like a cloud and it has this kinda sweet and sour type of taste. Apparently they’re known for being mindnumbingly hard to grow.. I’m not really sure if they would be able to survive in Canada’s climate but even if you aren’t planning to grow it I think it would be interesting for you to try them out :D

[@growithjessie]

hi!! thank you so much! i have not heard of cloud berry, I will look it up. They may be hard to find in Canada. Thank you so soso much for letting me know

[@TheMilkMan8008]

​​@@growithjessiethey are an extremely rare berry up in the very northern hemisphere. They are actually almost exclusively found in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and CANADA! Also Alaska, but I mean come on it is clearly part of Canada so that's a given. They actually do really well in colder climates so while they are very rare and difficult/near impossible to grow yourself, you are in the right environment. They are notorious for flourishing in very harsh environments. They have been tried to be grown commercially forever and they fail. Some landscapers and citizens plant them in their flower beds and get lucky and get growth. They are sold as a decorative plant in a lot of nurseries. So it isn't impossible to grow them, but it is very hard. All the jams and products you see or can get online come from wild harvesting. The price is very steep because of it. Edit: they are also nicknamed "Arctic Gold" because of how rare they are.

The starfruit didn’t grow back, if you look it has a new pair of cotyledon leafs. My best guess is one of the other seeds that were started came up a few weeks after the first 2 died.

[@growithjessie]

100%

[@DigitallyRemasteredMusic]

Love starfruit, one of my favorites, we don't see them much in England, but occasionally can get them. They don't taste as sweet as they used to do when I was a kid though.

[@axolotl4808]

Well this is very common here in India. I mean i think ull find this fruit easily in any tropical countries. We got a huge starfruit tree here just behind my room and since it's so abundant,no one eats it,it just goes to waste

[@growithjessie]

The video game you’re referring to is Kingdom Hearts, right? The Paopu fruit was inspired by the starfruit.

I can't wait til they start producing fruit. of course it won't be in this decade but I'm still hopeful. I'd be happy with just one. a lemon, coconut, starfruit, star apple, kiwi, mango, pomelo...anything? 🤣 you have the patience of a saint. 🤣

[@mikewendland4982]

Oriental markets have them!

[@demonmom0293]

Curious, how's the house hunt going? I'm so excited to see you build a farm!!

[@growithjessie]

it's so difficult to find the perfect place, and then you face the 'bid wars' because Toronto housing is INSANE. i hope in the next year I will be able to find the perfect farm

[@midnightmoon592]

Actually, the fruit is also very common in my country Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

I love starfruit I was surprised to find out it was a real fruit I tought it was only in games when I found out I had to immediately buy one

[@Mijjk]

I have a star apple tree because I live in Jamaica and it's really hot out here

[@growithjessie]

[@Thi-Nguyen]

You can’t find this fruit anywhere? Do you have any Asian markets? They almost always have them.

[@growithjessie]

They are only available at a select few stores seasonally, and for a few years I didn't see them anywhere!!

[@da_bananananana4171]

That's interesting. I've never heard of peeling seeds before. If anything that sounds like it would kill it. Where did you learn that?

[@growithjessie]

I learned that with some of my other plants, like the citrus ones (lemon, orange, lime, etc).

If you literally spend over a year, and fly to and from another country just to get starfruit to grow, and only buy 1-2…. You must have a ton more disposable time and income than, and a ton less intelligence and responsibilities than the average person 😅
