#malayapple

Soncoya, black sapote and a Malay Apple all going to a new home. After seeing so many of my trees lost due to negligence or lack of care, I started focusing my time and energy on those that are truly wanting to make a change for themselves. Jaquelin in the center will soon be harvesting his first jackfruit from one of our trees. I distributed pretty much every variety of fruit that I’ve grown with the entire community before even planting my first in hopes that everyone can share the abundance that I seek. Those who were responsible caretakers are now reaping the benefits while some others are showing regret. Lots of lessons learned. You can only help someone who cares to help themself. It’s not about how many trees we can plant a year but how many trees will survive after planting. Out of all the trees given to these three, only 1 didn’t survive. ・・・ #growninhaiti #Reforestation #community #grownfromseed #soncoya #malayapple #blacksapote #diversity #foodforest #foodsecurity #caretakers #responsible #growth #agroforestry #sustainable #communittdevelopment #nogmos #seedsovereignty #haiti #ayiti #perspective #longterm https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdCbkxFOqb/?igshid=1oes71leq8t4x

Native to Malaysia and Indonesia, Captain Bligh, of the HMS Bounty fame, brought seedlings of Malay Apple from Timor to Jamaica on a later voyage in 1793. It is now widespread in the tropics and quite common in tropical America. The fruit, usually eaten out of hand, has a refreshing m, thirst-quenching taste. In Asia, it is stewed and served as dessert. Inferior fruits can be pickled or made into preserves or jellies. In Indonesia, the colorful flowers are eaten fresh in salads or used to decorate rice dishes, and the tender leaves are sometimes eaten as a vegetable. ・・・ #growninhaiti #malayapple #malaccaapple #SyzygiumMalaccense #haiti #ayiti #tropicalfruit #growth #reforestation #preservation #foodforest #agroforestry #seedsovereignty #foodsecurity #plantmoretrees https://www.instagram.com/p/B63YoGllxk2/?igshid=1ve31av9t8tfd

The MALAY APPLE is another fruit tree that Captain Bligh brought to Jamaica on his voyage to Tahiti to bring breadfruit and ackee to the Caribbean, it was called Otaheite at the time and Jamaicans still use this name today. In other English speaking islands this fruit is called the Malay Apple and also the same in French on the island of Guadeloupe: Pomme de Tahiti, or Pomme de Malaisie.
