Rollinia - What does it taste like? Sweet, smooth and creamy with a hint of tanginess.

[@candacehawaiipatriot278]

It is my overall favorite next to Lilikoi aka Passion Fruit. Thank you for sharing!

[@vidalcharide]

Thankyou for sharing, looks delicious

[@cerverg]

Rollinia grown in the tropics tastes quite different. It's not jelly it's more "snotty" consistency and the spikes are usually much bigger on the skin

[@candacehawaiipatriot278]

Maybe that depends on the type, I live in Hawaii and it looks and tastes as Daleysfr's description. I have not ever had mine snotty. Where do you live?

[@VeggiesOnTour]

Its true, it’s more snotty and not very pleasant 👍🏻

[@clubgus07]

Yeah I got to buy one of these from Tropical fruit world and the texture was I hate to say it snotty but good snotty jelly like. It was refreshing lemony taste in-fact you could probably put the pulp into a trifle instead of jelly.

I'll give my review hopefully 4-6 years from now if it gets there here in Sydney, let's see. Looking forward to seeing it make it through its first Summer & Winter.

I just purchased 2 of these from your farm. Wondering if they will fruit this year, do they prefer full sun or part shade?

[@organicgrow4440]

Daleys usually don't reply here, they're very good with emailed questions just include mobile/location [e-mail]. Which climate are you growing them in? If it's a seedling it will need 4+ years to fruit. If it is a grafted one it could this year or generally up to 2 years, with that being said nature is a living thing I have seed grown mango fruit in 1.5 years. My guess is part shade from the burn on my seedling Rollinia leaves but I'm unsure, I guess depends where you are.

@@organicgrow4440 I'm on the gold coast, they seem to be doing well next to the house, probably 5 hours of sun per day

[@organicgrow4440]

​@@Interesting_stuff-_-51 nice, if they are happy that's great, sounds like they do like the full sun. What else are you growing aside from the 2 Rollinias?

[@Interesting_stuff-_-51]

@@organicgrow4440 currently, 1 avocado, 2 mango, 3 jaboticaba varieties, 2 achacha, 1 Logan, 1 custard apple, 6 dragon fruit, 4 passionfruit, 2 miracle fruit, 4 macadamias, 1 pecan, finger lime. So far 😅

@@Interesting_stuff-_-51 wow very nice! Excellent hope you reap what you've sown & enjoy. I'm planting 2 seedling achacha this week.

Can u graft rollina to cherimoya or sugar apple tree?

[@shanghaimuts]

Also in Auckland. Would love to be able to grow that here in N.Z but looks like I'd need a glass house or something similar.

[@organicgrow4440]

Maybe start with seeds - for a cheaper trial.

[@jorgvonfrundsberg9643]

If a Rollinia rates 8 out of ten then what is ten? I can't think of a better fruit than the Rollinia! It is ten out of ten or one hundred out of one hundred! In my opinion nothing beats a good and ripe Rollinia eaten chilled out of the fridge!

[@johnmcneill923]

Hi Kath Will this graft onto Cherimoya or atamoya mother plants? Since you don’t ship plants overseas... what about scions???🤔😉

[@daleysfr]

We always graft Rollinia onto Rollinia. Sorry we do not have any scionwood available.

[@johnmcneill923]

daleysfr ... thanks. How many varieties of Rollinia are there? If it is truly in the anona Family then Cherimoya and atamoya should be graftable. I have very limited space so forced to create “Frankenstein” trees 🤔🤭😉
