I miss my childhood, kaimitos are the best I used to cry whenever my lola won’t allow me to pick kaimitos with a sungkit because she does not want her backyard to be littered with leaves.
I am from Bacolor Pampanga originally, it sucks that lahar ruined all the fruit bearing trees of my youth.
We had avocado, makopa,santol, kaimito, bayabas, pomelo, sampalok, duhat, and langka.
I think its the best way to raise a child, seeing those trees give “birth” to sweet fruits was like magic for me. :)

Doris, you may be able to buy this tree from nurseries that carry stuff from Mexico or elsewhere in Central America. I have no idea where zone 9 is so I wouldn’t know if it would survive in your area…

Didn’t know this could plug you up. Can add that to my data bank of too many cherries giving you the runs, or too many sineguelas result in serious gas…heehee. Thanks for the info.

this fruit aplenty back home, best eaten when it’s chilled… i missed it when we used to climb caimito trees and not to mention the sap in the leaves is so sticky, you can use it as earrings. oppps, be careful not to overeat, because this fruit if overeaten can constipate you for days…
