[Addictedtopalms26]

I agree, it makes sense if plants not only look good but also have fruit! Double rewards

Gonna try more things next year

The fruits are very bitter to taste...

I found it difficult to overwinter as I always overwater . It likes a dryish compost and won't tolerate frost.

I've tried and failed a couple of times, probably for the same reason. The greenhouse is really humid over winter but I'll be trying again this year.

damn, never noticed that till now. I wanted the one with the thorns but the seed suppliers pic does not show those. I could have bought a fully grown plant cheaply from a local nursery but I went for the seed instead

I've got a bag full of seed I will start a few in march if there viable I will post some over if you like. when mature the thorns are so much you can't even touch it and the leaf thorns are massive

Is there a knack of germinating these seeds? They are wrapped up in damp well draining soil with bottom heat? I have them (from this week) in sun in case light is a requirement. Nothing yet and it has been a few weeks.

I did notice some sellers in the US selling thornless Naranjilla...until you said there are 2 types I did not notice.
