Abiu Has Got To Be The Best Fruit In The World 

it's fruit and wonderful similar to a coconut pudding dessert a masterpiece of God

I have 3 abiu trees, more than 2yrs old. Only 1 tree now has fruits. Yeah it really taste good!

About 12 years ago I discovered a volunteer in our valley here on Kauai, the fruit get at least double that size and sometimes have two seeds in them. Once it started fruiting, we've only really got fruit once a year, around November. This year was a little sparse as it's been quite dry for most of the year. Just one tip; peel cut up and put in a container with lemon juice,shake around so the juice covers the whole fruit because they turn brown otherwise, and chill! It really enhances the taste dramatically. Even if you don't have lemons, just chilling them improves the flavor! I agree that this is one of the best tasting fruit in the world!

Do not want to offend but I so wish people would stop with the background music when they are talking. Maybe it’s just me but I find it so distracting. Just something to think about. Just ordered a tree today!

I have an abiu that is about 6 years old, full with flowers but no fruits. Never tasted an abiu but my favorite until now is soursop.

I agree wz you It is the tastiest fruit. I have my plant for about 28 years here in Singapore.

Good morning WOW really cool fruit

Aloha Sean, I really dig your channel bro. Just watched that new one on Abiu… I lived on maui in the nineties but never tried one. I've been to the big island a couple times and actually just moved here 6 days ago and I still haven't tried and Abiu but totally want to now... Like you I grew up So-Cal, needed warmer water and cleaner surf, found it all over on Maui. Oahu and Kaua'i too, of course. For me, the big island is about something entirely different, After working in renewable energy for the past 8 years, I realized that the risk in the job was life threatening enough to question whether it was what I really should be doing. I've spent my whole life with a window full of indoor pets most people called plants and I realized perhaps my Dharma lies back in Hawaii, farming in the rain and customizing soil and nutrients for each and every beautiful plant that I grow for my family and friends. I'm hand-cutting my way through my new jungle with the scent of wild ginger flowers and wet soil surrounding me. Along with the 17 billion cubic tons of uluhe... So many wild flowers and discoveries that were unexpected but make me giddy at every turn, like the baby uluhe being so purple. My plan is to build a small greenhouse for an aquaponics system surrounded by a grid of cement raised garden boxes (3×3, thin-walled, I made a jig) that will get sprayed regularly on only the outside with an all natural hot pepper oil spray to keep out slugs, etc. We're at 2000ft so I'm also about the berries, apples nuts and stone fruits. Sounds like no abiu but perhaps someone will trade me when my peaches and nectarines bear fruit. I just started clearing but I can almost taste them already. I felt a strong trade blow through me after explaining my intentions to Madame Pele and apologizing to the forest for the few Ohia that I've had to drop. I think she knows my heart is pure, as is my intent. My lovely bride will be joining me in January as long as friggin' COVID doesn't cause any travel ban between now and then. After that, my adult daughter and 6 month old granddaughter might join us too. I'm not a rich man but with lots of research including the help I've gotten from videos like yours, I'm doing what it takes for as little money as possible at each turn thereby ensuring that my plans and dreams finally come to fruition. Mahalo braddah.

Wow i would love 100 seeds to grow this will do well in my environment please

Just ate our first Abiu. Yummm. Even sweeter, IMHO, is Atemoya.

its like star apple 🤩

I'm first! Cool, I have never had one, looks delicious, high yields too! Aloha, mahalo!

Aloha from Central Florida 10a- going to be on the lookout for one of these trees! Looks so good! Seems like growth on the wood is similar to growing blueberries. Thanks for the awesome video!

Oooo,thank you for awesome idea! Excited to plant this!

Stoked!!! Aloha and Mahalo!

Thank you sincerely for another great video! It made me laugh when you chucked the rind to the side. I wanna try an abiu someday. Have a good one!

Very excited to try it, Mom and Dad are still in south FLA I'll get them into it. We had avocados (4 different varieties) mangos, lemons, limes, even and orange tree but it didn't have friends so the fruit was never great, but the rest was phenomenal, oh yeah kumquats and lychees, and the red flower with the sweet nectar on the stamen, I forget the name, Abui sounds perfect for Miami, more sweets for the ants, great.

Aloha, I live in Leilani Estates, near you... i enjoy your enthusiasm about abiu fruit! I operate Pele's Kitchen in Pahoa. Wouldn't mind talking story some time. Stephen

WoW lucky you are ! I really would like to eat this fruit ! There is not in France

Cool vid man and i just got a tree and a seed yeehaaa!...here in central Florida it will be a challenge though but i LOVE tropical FRUITS to grow!

From kerala

Never seen that fruit before, wish I could taste it.

I heard of people in mountain view, Hi growing it successfully around 1500-2000 feet in elevation.

Fabulous video! I’m now subscribing. Such an upbeat video. Well done: nice-kind-direct presentation, concise, lovely engaging voice, great information& quite Ono. I’m here in Belize, Central America. Trying hard to design a workable food forest on 70’x70’ with 20’x 30’ wood Belizean stilted house. Love to gift bounty to local neighbors. Have been looking for an Abiu for a while.😔 You are the best inspiration to keep trying. For further information: how long should I baby and shelter before I exposed to “Belizean” full sun? How much space does it need from other trees and is it system surface or deep. As we are close to the equator most things wither if it’s not sheltered “till they catch”. Does it do better with heavy feed (organic compost that I make) on well drain soil? How many Years to 1st fruit, I’m patient & willing to put in effort, on the good stuff,( you should see the rose apples I got after7yrs😋🥰) A Sublime fruit (almost mystic…really, if left to red/purple instead of rose/pink)

Abiu is great...just one major difficulty, the fruit flies. So much of the harvest is wasted due to little worms in the fruit. Otherwise it's wonderful. I'm going to try again on another property with less fruit fly issues...hopefully we'll be able to eat much more of our harvest. Best wishes.

Enjoying your channel, are you able to work at all in Hawaii during the shutdown? And what do you do for work there? Keep up the videos, even for us not living in Hawaii we are learning from your example to be self sufficient! Mahalo

nice one bro

Ate one recently. Fantastic as you said! Thank you for this vid. I subscribed:) Where can I buy/find this plant?

Saw these at island naturals in pahoa recently so i bought some just so i could try them and if I liked them plant the seeds To my surprise all the abius I bought had TWO seeds in them so i figured that was just normal until i saw your video. Guess I just got very lucky!

Apparently this tree grows very well in USDA zone 10 areas of Florida

Are you from the Big island sir? Can I come and visit you? I’m visiting Hawaii in the spring. Loving your Abiu

Do you cut the branches close to ground as it growing. I have one growing and it has branches everywhere. I didn’t know if I should trim or not. Any help would be appreciated it is currently 6 or 7 feel tall

I planted 2 abiu in the ground a year ago and they look healthy but have hardly grown any bigger. They actually grew a few inches but that growth occurred only in the past few months. I've added mulch to them a few times but I'm wondering if they need more nutrients

I live on oahu and my wife would love to plant one. Any chance of getting some fruit from you to give it a go. I would gladly compensate you my braddah! 🤙🏽Mahalo and God bless and keep the great videos coming 🙏

First I am seeing abiu

We have them here too, but I find it too sweet and the sticky sap is much too like Jackfruit, which I can only handle a few bites at a time.

I just purchased a abiu seedling is 1 enough to fruit

Can it grow in zone 9b? I'm in central Florida and I want to grow it.

so if seed doesnt do wll after only a few days how do you get seed in other parts of the world?

Could you advise me i recently purchased a 4 ft abiu plant nice and green leaves after keeping it in its pot for short time some of the leaves started turning light brown seller says maybe to much water so i planted in the ground on mound after short while some more leaves are loosing green and turning light brown is there anything i can do i have other fruit trees around it and they are fine.even small abiu in pot is doing good.could it be all the rain we have been getting in florida i live in south orlando.Think i should plant it in full sun or maybe needs some nutrients

The green star apple still taste supreme than this IMO.

Aloha! Is an altitude of 2,500 feet too high? What fruit trees do you suggest at that altitude? Thanks, brother.

Can you send me some seeds?! This looks amazing!

Can I get some seeds ?

Are abiu trees self fruitful or do you need more than one tree?

I just got two little Abui trees and hope they can handle central Florida. Is the taste comparable to Sapodilla? Thanks for the video!

Taste of the flesh like persimmon. Jelly like soft smooth and taste slightly sweet.

Can the tree planted in the big pot?

Can AIBU be hand pollinating?

Which taste best? Rollenia, Abui, lyche or mangosteen?

Do you sell and ship fruit to California?

Can u send seeds please?

Do you sell the fruit. I would love to taste.

Abiu trees are Really expensive here, I’ve seen abiu seedlings that cost more then $50

Thank you. I am interested. Do you sell the seeds or plant?

How long did it take to bear?

Hello sir I'm from India Gujarat Will you send me seed of this amazing fruit ?

Is it Polyembryolic plant?

Which variety of abiu is that.

I live in puna on Hawaii island, would you be willing to part with a few seeds?

I’ve been looking for grafted one to get for my property in Captain Cook, do you have any started for sale?

are you growing any durian in your area?

Is this a self pollinating tree? I have one but have recently read that I need 2

Can i buy some seeds from you? Please sir

Are you serious? I think it's gross. I gagged when I tried them.

WHERE odes a Southern Californian BUY an actual Abiu tree?

Another great and informative video and another reason I might need to relocate to the island of Hawai'i. Sure can't grow that in the deserts of Arizona I should think. Nice looking tree and fruit too. Keep up the great videos. They are inspiring.
