We're back at Lara Farms to find out about 'Hipolito' Caimito from Julian Lara! He brought back this amazing variety from the Dominican Republic. Lara Farms 18660 SW 200th St, Miami, FL 33187 larafarmsmiami...
Growing up in Trinidad west indies caimato variety is very huge example I remembered fourthy years ago there a small dark purple variety looks like a barlet pear and also a very rare one that the tree grows huge before it fruit a humongous caimato big as a coconut if u don't harvest them the eweetness create worms here in psl Florida I got a regular purple and a green doing great
Maybe President Mejía knows that US president Jefferson said "The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture."
Julian, personally I am ecstatic that you brought the Hipolito Star Apple back to South Florida! Just bought some and enjoying every last bit of the fruits!
