2nd Half of Day #3 of our fruit hunting expedition & we finish the trip with a super sweet visit to Robert Barnum's place in Homestead, Florida... The infamous Possum Trot Tropical Fruit Nursery!

This place is known by every fruit aficionado in South Florida & beyond & Robert Barnum's 40-year-old collection of rare tropical fruits is a sight to behold! You will be as inspired as we are, for sure, when you see what we find!

If you have yet to watch part 1, you can find more awesome fruits at Possom Trot like bilimbe, Cercropia, Mountain Soursop & more. You can watch that segment here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC_K7_gtWyE&t=2s

Also be sure to check out the past few days of footage to see the hundreds of mango varieties from our field trips to TREC (University of Florida's IFAS Program) & the USDA Tropical Research Facility - you'll find some awesome footage of cacao, lychees, jackfruit & mamey sapote.

(0:00). Robert gives a brief overview of possum trot tropical fruit nursery in Homestead, Florida. He discusses the diversity of jackfruit that he has been growing for many years here at his site. If you didn't already know, the flavoring for juicy fruit gum was originally derived from the jackfruit.

(1:00) Robert Barnum discusses the many different kinds of methods you can use to select a mature jackfruit from your tree.

(4:29) A visit to the incredible Raha Pari bananas, where it's a battle zone for bananas. This particular variety of bananas is a favorite of many fruit growers, because of the intensity of flavor & marshmallow-like texture.

(7:24) We get to taste the Bacuripari fruit & collect an assortment for the Rare Fruit Council's table at 'Taste of Lee'. Robert compares it to the flavor & texture of mangosteen, but a bit more cold hardy.

(10:01) Malay Apples to round up this awesome trip.
