long term keeper for zone 4 Central MN?
Comments (7)Honeycrisp is an excellent keeper when stored by savvy commercial growers but in home situations and even for commercial growers it has plenty of problems from what I've read and in my own fridge. I have seen several articles in Goodfruit Magazine discussing storage issues with this apple. For one thing it doesn't like it too cold and stores best a few degrees above freezing while most apples store best right around freezing. It may be a better storage apple as grown in your zone, however. I'm only speaking form experience in southeastern NY and Goodfruit isn't geared towards short season growers. I was hoping someone would make some other suggestions because I would like to know some good storage apples that ripen before nearly Nov in my own climate. Right now all my favorite storers are quite late....See MoreID this big rounded leaf on plant in Central Texas
Comments (2)Great! Thanks! Appears to be it Farfugium... (Googled & saw photos). I think it's interesting that it was planted among very low water needs/cactus & succulents. Details for growing say "keep soil moist at all times, don't let it dry out". Not the best plant companions, I wouldn't think...???...See MoreCentral American Plant/Tree ID...long shot.
Comments (4)I may be way off - this is more of a shrub, and I don't think the seeds are as large as you described could it be Jatropha multifida Here is a link that might be useful:...See MorePlant IDs from central Florida
Comments (17)The rosary-pea is all over at my central florida place. When I first saw it some years ago I could see that it was a legume and was toying with the idea of cooking and eating it but fortunately I asked on this forum first and was tipped off about its toxicity. I did some reading back then and learned that it is native to parts of southeast asia and was occasionally used as a famine-food, apparently if cooked properly and not eaten too much it can be digested (obviously I don't know whether this is valid or not). Raw it has been know to kill people, apparently. However the seeds are so hard that I think a person would nearly break their teeth trying to crack the seeds, the whole seed apparently will pass through undigested....See Moretroymeister1
