it's fruit and wonderful similar to a coconut pudding dessert a masterpiece of God
Couldn't have said it any better!
I have 3 abiu trees, more than 2yrs old. Only 1 tree now has fruits. Yeah it really taste good!
Pretty soon youʻre going to have more than you can handle!
About 12 years ago I discovered a volunteer in our valley here on Kauai, the fruit get at least double that size and sometimes have two seeds in them. Once it started fruiting, we've only really got fruit once a year, around November. This year was a little sparse as it's been quite dry for most of the year.
Just one tip; peel cut up and put in a container with lemon juice,shake around so the juice covers the whole fruit because they turn brown otherwise, and chill! It really enhances the taste dramatically. Even if you don't have lemons, just chilling them improves the flavor!
I agree that this is one of the best tasting fruit in the world!
Thanks for the tip, I'm going to try that, I have lemons and abiu ripening right now!
Do not want to offend but I so wish people would stop with the background music when they are talking. Maybe it’s just me but I find it so distracting. Just something to think about. Just ordered a tree today!
I have since gotten rid of background music. Thanks for the tip though
Good morning WOW really cool fruit
Mahalo
I have an abiu that is about 6 years old, full with flowers but no fruits. Never tasted an abiu but my favorite until now is soursop.
It'll come
I agree wz you
It is the tastiest fruit. I have my plant for about 28 years here in Singapore.
Yeah! One of the best by far!
Aloha Sean, I really dig your channel bro. Just watched that new one on Abiu… I lived on maui in the nineties but never tried one. I've been to the big island a couple times and actually just moved here 6 days ago and I still haven't tried and Abiu but totally want to now...
Like you I grew up So-Cal, needed warmer water and cleaner surf, found it all over on Maui. Oahu and Kaua'i too, of course. For me, the big island is about something entirely different, After working in renewable energy for the past 8 years, I realized that the risk in the job was life threatening enough to question whether it was what I really should be doing. I've spent my whole life with a window full of indoor pets most people called plants and I realized perhaps my Dharma lies back in Hawaii, farming in the rain and customizing soil and nutrients for each and every beautiful plant that I grow for my family and friends.
I'm hand-cutting my way through my new jungle with the scent of wild ginger flowers and wet soil surrounding me. Along with the 17 billion cubic tons of uluhe... So many wild flowers and discoveries that were unexpected but make me giddy at every turn, like the baby uluhe being so purple.
My plan is to build a small greenhouse for an aquaponics system surrounded by a grid of cement raised garden boxes (3×3, thin-walled, I made a jig) that will get sprayed regularly on only the outside with an all natural hot pepper oil spray to keep out slugs, etc. We're at 2000ft so I'm also about the berries, apples nuts and stone fruits. Sounds like no abiu but perhaps someone will trade me when my peaches and nectarines bear fruit. I just started clearing but I can almost taste them already.
I felt a strong trade blow through me after explaining my intentions to Madame Pele and apologizing to the forest for the few Ohia that I've had to drop. I think she knows my heart is pure, as is my intent. My lovely bride will be joining me in January as long as friggin' COVID doesn't cause any travel ban between now and then. After that, my adult daughter and 6 month old granddaughter might join us too. I'm not a rich man but with lots of research including the help I've gotten from videos like yours, I'm doing what it takes for as little money as possible at each turn thereby ensuring that my plans and dreams finally come to fruition.
Mahalo braddah.
It can be done. Little hard work and some know how you could accomplish a lot with a little. Good luck and thanks for watching!
its like star apple 🤩
Both delicious
Wow i would love 100 seeds to grow this will do well in my environment please
Where do you live? I can ship anywhere in the US
Just ate our first Abiu. Yummm. Even sweeter, IMHO, is Atemoya.
Been a long time since I had atemoya. I’ll have to try it again
Aloha from Central Florida 10a- going to be on the lookout for one of these trees! Looks so good! Seems like growth on the wood is similar to growing blueberries. Thanks for the awesome video!
If you want seeds of the tree I do sell them. Can go to my website at www.homesteadinhawaii.com and visit my shop to get some of your own.
Very excited to try it, Mom and Dad are still in south FLA I'll get them into it. We had avocados (4 different varieties) mangos, lemons, limes, even and orange tree but it didn't have friends so the fruit was never great, but the rest was phenomenal, oh yeah kumquats and lychees, and the red flower with the sweet nectar on the stamen, I forget the name, Abui sounds perfect for Miami, more sweets for the ants, great.
Abiu would work great out there. Just plant in mounds as they dont like the soil to be too wet. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@HomesteadinHawaii thanks much, now they just have to find one!!! Ha
Try to plant Jack, Rambutan, star fruit, egg fruit.
I'm first! Cool, I have never had one, looks delicious, high yields too! Aloha, mahalo!
You will be transformed at first taste.
WoW lucky you are ! I really would like to eat this fruit ! There is not in France
Next time you come to visit I guess
Thank you sincerely for another great video! It made me laugh when you chucked the rind to the side. I wanna try an abiu someday. Have a good one!
Thanks again for watching!
Another great and informative video and another reason I might need to relocate to the island of Hawai'i. Sure can't grow that in the deserts of Arizona I should think. Nice looking tree and fruit too. Keep up the great videos. They are inspiring.
Abiu's are a reason to move to Hawaii for sure
Aloha, I live in Leilani Estates, near you... i enjoy your enthusiasm about abiu fruit! I operate Pele's Kitchen in Pahoa. Wouldn't mind talking story some time. Stephen
Thanks. Yeah, I love abiu and pele’s kitchen is great, but it’s been a while since I’ve been in there. I’ll have to try make another visit
Oooo,thank you for awesome idea! Excited to plant this!
Abiu is the best
Never seen that fruit before, wish I could taste it.
It's gooood!
It's like star apple
Miami fruit sells them
Stoked!!! Aloha and Mahalo!
Stoked you watched the video! Mahalo!
Cool vid man and i just got a tree and a seed yeehaaa!...here in central Florida it will be a challenge though but i LOVE tropical FRUITS to grow!
Good luck! Abiu is the best
Enjoying your channel, are you able to work at all in Hawaii during the shutdown? And what do you do for work there? Keep up the videos, even for us not living in Hawaii we are learning from your example to be self sufficient! Mahalo
Thanks. I wish I was fully Self Sufficient, but its ok not to be. It takes a village after all.
I do not have a formal job. I take care of a landscape, sell some fruit trees and make a small amount from this UA-cam channel and a blog. Main thing is I live frugally. I really only need $400 a month to cover the basics, but we spend close to $1500. Gas, Eating out sometimes, misc stuff. My wife works as a teachers assistant and makes $2k. We save $1k every month.
The shutdown did not hurt us one bit, but many other folks are struggling.
Thanks for watching btw.
Abiu is great...just one major difficulty, the fruit flies. So much of the harvest is wasted due to little worms in the fruit. Otherwise it's wonderful. I'm going to try again on another property with less fruit fly issues...hopefully we'll be able to eat much more of our harvest. Best wishes.
I've heard about people having problems with fruit flies but so far no problems for me. I hope it stays that way.
The skin is pretty tuff. You sure about the fruit flies?
I heard of people in mountain view, Hi growing it successfully around 1500-2000 feet in elevation.
Awesome!
Fabulous video! I’m now subscribing. Such an upbeat video. Well done: nice-kind-direct presentation, concise, lovely engaging voice, great information& quite Ono. I’m here in Belize, Central America. Trying hard to design a workable food forest on 70’x70’ with 20’x 30’ wood Belizean stilted house. Love to gift bounty to local neighbors. Have been looking for an Abiu for a while.😔 You are the best inspiration to keep trying. For further information: how long should I baby and shelter before I exposed to “Belizean” full sun? How much space does it need from other trees and is it system surface or deep. As we are close to the equator most things wither if it’s not sheltered “till they catch”. Does it do better with heavy feed (organic compost that I make) on well drain soil? How many Years to 1st fruit, I’m patient & willing to put in effort, on the good stuff,( you should see the rose apples I got after7yrs😋🥰) A Sublime fruit (almost mystic…really, if left to red/purple instead of rose/pink)
We use to get rose apples here but they all died off from some blight. ABiu like fertile soil and lots of compost and mulch. Mulch heavily and you can keep the ground cooler and moister for longer. After 5 years or so they should fruit. You will be glad you planted one. Good Luck!
Do you cut the branches close to ground as it growing. I have one growing and it has branches everywhere. I didn’t know if I should trim or not. Any help would be appreciated it is currently 6 or 7 feel tall
I like to cut the tall branches so it stays harvestable
Saw these at island naturals in pahoa recently so i bought some just so i could try them and if I liked them plant the seeds
To my surprise all the abius I bought had TWO seeds in them so i figured that was just normal until i saw your video.
Guess I just got very lucky!
Between 1 and 2 seeds are common. I bet you wanted to buy more after trying the first!
@@HomesteadinHawaii absolutely .. I dont think I can wait until a tree grows.. need to find MORE!
nice one bro
Mahalo
Ate one recently. Fantastic as you said! Thank you for this vid. I subscribed:) Where can I buy/find this plant?
Abiu is one of the best. If you’re in puna you can try makuu market on sundays
I picked up a small plant at Makuu market this past Sunday for $5
i just planted from a seed. Was surprised that it sprouted and is doing well:)
Apparently this tree grows very well in USDA zone 10 areas of Florida
I have seeds that you can purchase if you want to try and grow some. You can visit our store at homesteadinhawaii.com.
Thanks for watching the video!
I planted 2 abiu in the ground a year ago and they look healthy but have hardly grown any bigger. They actually grew a few inches but that growth occurred only in the past few months. I've added mulch to them a few times but I'm wondering if they need more nutrients
They take a little to get their roots established. But once they do the start rocking! A little dolomite could help though.
I just purchased a abiu seedling is 1 enough to fruit
That worked for me!
@@HomesteadinHawaii thanks for quick reply i thought i would have to buy another.I live i south orlando florida its about 2ft tall but i hear they grow fast will keep in pot till it gets strong enpugh thanks again.
so if seed doesnt do wll after only a few days how do you get seed in other parts of the world?
I live on oahu and my wife would love to plant one. Any chance of getting some fruit from you to give it a go. I would gladly compensate you my braddah! 🤙🏽Mahalo and God bless and keep the great videos coming 🙏
Aloha brother. Thanks for watching the vids. Sure there is someone on Oahu with an abiu. Its not easy shipping interisland.
Are you on ig? Would like your oahu connection on abiu. Thanks again my braddah!
@@seantavarez9569 Ooh! I don't have an Oahu Connection. I'd try the farmers market, find a grower and ask them. Probably best bet.
Can it grow in zone 9b? I'm in central Florida and I want to grow it.
It’s worth a try. I sell seeds. 3 for $7. Pretty low risk. Can find the at homesteadinHawaii.Etsy.com
Are you from the Big island sir? Can I come and visit you? I’m visiting Hawaii in the spring. Loving your Abiu
I live on Hawaii island but donʻt do much in the way of visitors, but there are plenty farms out here that do!
Can I get some seeds ?
The Etsy store is back open

From kerala
Could you advise me i recently purchased a 4 ft abiu plant nice and green leaves after keeping it in its pot for short time some of the leaves started turning light brown seller says maybe to much water so i planted in the ground on mound after short while some more leaves are loosing green and turning light brown is there anything i can do i have other fruit trees around it and they are fine.even small abiu in pot is doing good.could it be all the rain we have been getting in florida i live in south orlando.Think i should plant it in full sun or maybe needs some nutrients
Sometimes trees just aren’t meant to make it. Other times the experience transplant shock the. Come back strong. I like to have my plant be strong from the start. It sounds like you may have left it in the pot too long and you may have to start over.
We have them here too, but I find it too sweet and the sticky sap is much too like Jackfruit, which I can only handle a few bites at a time.
I can’t stand jackfruit but love abiu. I do get it. It’s very specific
@@HomesteadinHawaii lol, I can have but a few pieces of Jackfruit, while my husband can chow down a whole Jackfruit per day, every day for the entire season!
Can the tree planted in the big pot?
Sure. It can be kept small and still fruit. You just need 2nd year wood to fruit
Can AIBU be hand pollinating?
Sure but I don’t think it needs too
Aloha! Is an altitude of 2,500 feet too high? What fruit trees do you suggest at that altitude? Thanks, brother.
Plenty can grow up there. I'll have to make a list available. Send me your email and maybe I can send you a plant list I've been working on. It does need work though
@@HomesteadinHawaii Thanks Sean . Too cool. That would be awesome. We arrive on 11/30 with our container. The adventure continues. Can you recommend a water catchment person? Thanks. Mark and Sabine
Can u send seeds please?
Etsy.com/homesteadinHawaii
I don’t have any one the site but I do have a few I can harvest. Write me from Etsy and I’ll unlock a few abiu seeds for you to order
Do you sell and ship fruit to California?
I ship seeds. Can find me on Etsy @himesteadinhawaii
Oh ok thank u
Are abiu trees self fruitful or do you need more than one tree?
Only need one tree
First I am seeing abiu
You will not be disappointed
Which taste best? Rollenia, Abui, lyche or mangosteen?
My favorite is abiu, then lychee, rollinia then mangosteen
@@HomesteadinHawaii ahh ok thank you.
I just got two little Abui trees and hope they can handle central Florida. Is the taste comparable to Sapodilla? Thanks for the video!
It's been a long time since I had sapodilla. Taste like custard pudding with the consistency of a litchi?
Thanks 🌸
Oh and Sapodilla is described as a pear drenched in brown sugar syrup. Very very delicious. A tree that should go on your want list LOL
Closer to persimmon than sapodilla
Can you send me some seeds?! This looks amazing!
They are ripening as we speak!! Maybe by the end of the month?? Check out my store to see if I have them in stock around then.

@@HomesteadinHawaii do you currently have the seeds right now for sale I clicked on the link and when it goes to your page it won't let me put the seeds in my cart to buy them?
Do you sell the fruit. I would love to taste.
Hilo farmers market might have right now
Thank you. I am interested. Do you sell the seeds or plant?
I do have a few seedling trees i could sell
How long did it take to bear?
6 years from seed
The green star apple still taste supreme than this IMO.
I’ll have to try it
You should if you can find one. It has white sap that is sticky when it touches your lips but the taste is far supreme than this one. You should also eat it cold its just better that way.
Is it Polyembryolic plant?
I don't think so
Which variety of abiu is that.
Just a seedling I planted
