Lipstick tree is achiote in Spanish. In English, it is more commonly called annatto because by law food ingredients have to be listed. It is the coloring for cheddar cheese and ice cream. When in Costa Rica, learn Spanish.
Poor deprived Briton, a creature relegated to be blanketed in fog, and bear that cold that chills to the very marrow, I feel sorry for you to have waited so long to see a cinnamon tree.
@@estebancorral5151 yes, the Costa Rican who owned the farm translated to lipstick tree but I now know it is called annatto. I am in the process of learning Spanish to help with the new project I am starting in Spain and always respect the locals. Pura Vida
Really nice tour, beautiful food forest. It might also be nice to know what goes on in the community surrounding/supporting this as well, to get some more context for how this is preserved or managed. Good video, thanks for sharing this.
Hi Robb, thanks for watching! The community in Arenal, Costa Rica is amazing. The area gets some tourism due to the Volcano nearby, however, this permaculture is slightly more remote. The property is spread over 207 acres and also doubles up as an eco lodge/resort - so they have a small team that maintains the Food Forest.

What an amazing jungle, soo many fruits. Thanks for sharing! I'd like to point out that 5:55 is not Durian but Rollinia (Annona mucosa). I'm sure it can be used to make ice cream though 😃
Thank you and I'm glad you liked the video. Yes, you are right about it not being Durian. This was the first time I had ever seen this fruit and I still have never tried it. Have you grown it before? I'd be interested to know what it tastes like.
@@growingwithnatureofficial I've never tasted or seen one in real life before 😅I just consume a lot of content on farming and happened to recognize it.
they are the best! creamy but tart and very sweet. there are many different varieties as well. the kind in this video is not my favorite kind. the ones with a flatter skin instead of spikey are sweeter to me.
@@jeppeleth3888 That sounds amazing! I'll take a look. Costa Rica is really making an effort to protect the nature and there has been an explosion of permaculture projects all over the country this past decade. Breadfruit is an interesting fruit that I've seen at the local Framers market, but not yet had the chance to try. Apparently, I tastes very similar to bread! haha
