Lilly Pilly Can Bear Over 170 LBS of Fruits! (Review + Harvest)

[@agingintobeauty]

Twenty-five years ago I traveled to Trinidad and Tobago. I ate some rose apples but the home owner didn't have a name for them and I've tried to figure it out for years. Thank you for solving the mystery for me. Love your channel:)

[@wendiland]

I'm glad you finally found out what it's called. Now I wonder what they call it in Trinidad and Tobago...Lol

[@mooniebo2752]

The color of the berries is so beautiful.

[@wendiland]

I can't take my eyes off that color. Looks absolutely tempting to eat. Lol!

[@RHRHorticulture]

The Myrtle family has so many wonderful fruits!

[@wendiland]

They do! At least for the 60 kinds of Lilly Pilly they are all edible, but not all are palatable.

[@larissagabiqueiroga]

I looove jambo! Had a massive one in my front yard. Big dark red jambos, very sweet and very juicy. Flowers, young leaves and fruits are edible. Pink flowers that create a pink carpet underneath the tree and you. Can make a great juice out of them. Jambo and jaboticaba trees are my favorites.

BEAUTIFUL RIBERRY LILLY PILLY YES THEY ARE OUR BUSH TUCKA.

[@backyardsnackyard]

They are so beautiful! I have a Lilly Pilly tree here in England. I have to keep it inside during the Winter as it is not hardy enough to stay outside. I really hope I will get to taste the berries soon.

[@organicgrow4440]

They are planted as a hedge in many places in Sydney Australia & other cities I'm sure. Very easy to find during a walk down the road here.

[@wendiland]

Anyone walk by and grab a few to snack on?

[@organicgrow4440]

Wendi Phan I’ve picked some once for my sister when she was expecting she was craving them and the next door office building had a long hedge of them in full ripeness I ask the building manager there which helped me pick a big bag full.

[@kimberleighlivingston9411]

I used to pick those and eat them when I was a kid but I can't remember who had that tree in my neighborhood. We used to go from house to house picking fruit and eating a lot of it before it got home with me 😊 I wish I could remember.

[@bran2836]

I love your videos sweetie. I want to grow everything. You make it look so easy. 🤩

[@wendiland]

Can't wait to get mine growing big enough to fruit! Thanks for watching!

[@gabogugu]

Oh my goodness I haven't ate those since my child hood I used to eat them my our neighbors home . Thanks for bringing me wonderful memories from my youth I will look for them now that I know the name of the fruit . 🥰🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@wendiland]

That's lovely. :) Thank you for sharing. Hugs.

[@lmoy1182]

Thank you so much for the information!! I have two of these bushes in my garden, but I never knew the fruits were edible. Now, I can finally try them!!

[@wendiland]

It’s so exciting when you find out you’ve been growing food all this time. Haha :D

[@abc_cba]

Can you please describe it's taste in comparison to some similar fruit, maybe a mulberry, or a blueberry?

[@wendiland]

Texture of watermelon and taste of apple. Lightly sweet, tart at the end, smells a bit like rose, clove and nutmeg to me.

[@abc_cba]

@@wendiland oh my god. Sadly, i don't have any of these anywhere in India.

[@gtrgenie]

Lol these have been growing for over 40 years in my back yard here in L.A. I pick up a pound or so a day from the ground so they don’t stain my carpet. I think I have a couple in pots growing in my collection.

[@ianl5882]

[@growingwithpanda6935]

[@ninsyenamorado7534]

[@thehydrosource]

I ate those when I was a little kid. I always thought it was a mini wax jambu! They are good but too bad they're a little small.

[@saurophaganaxminecraft977]

My family came to Australia 3 years ago and on the way to school I saw these and I was like holy fck their tiny jambu I picked a ton and I ate em

[@wendiland]

Hahhaa I would have thought the same!!

[@saurophaganaxminecraft977]

I now have a house and in the back yard we have 5 trees

[@wendiland]

How much fruits do you get from them approx? Do you make jelly with them!?

[@HaDHoang]

Would you have the seeds for sale?

[@gardeningperth]

I'd better do a walk around my area to see if any of my neighbours are growing it.

[@extropiantranshuman]

my fairy garden would have lilly pilly and beautyberries. What about you all?

[@Mark702lv]

Hi Miss you are looking good 👍

[@wendiland]

Thank you. Good to see you here as well!

[@Mark702lv]

@@wendiland hi miss wendi. 70s in Las Vegas

[@romellehysten3645]

Sounds like it is similar to a crabapple tree.

[@wendiland]

Would love to try crabapple one day. From pics, they look more dense and firm than Riberry.

[@jasminwall9115]

I was always told they are poisonous...

[@wendiland]

I read all Lilly Pilly varieties are edible, but not all are palatable.

[@jasminwall9115]

Maybe they tried to eat it, found it bitter and assumed it was poisonous. (My elders).

[@yeshuaisthewaythetruthandt515]

MAKOPA?

[@wendiland]

They are related.

[@samh803]

Tropical cranberries? haha
