Sweet Kamias

The sweet kamias is not really new. We have come across it as early as the 1970s but not many people are growing it.Perhaps people don't grow this because it is not sour and would be useless for souring the native"sinigang".
But one lady who tasted the maturing fruits from our tree was excited . The fruits is perfect for making salad , she said. And that's why she had to get one of our stocks. Of course, it is also enjoyable to eat the fresh fruits right after picking from the tree.
Like the standard kamias variety, the sweet kamias does not need any special care. It produces a lot of fruits one batch after another. Some of the fruits(not all) produce viable seeds and these could be used for propagation. Marcotting is not as easy as in other fruit trees. The marcotted branches produce very fine roots and many of them don't survive.
