i had no clue what egg fruit was but omg it tastes like soft custard with mango 😍 already seeing tiny buds on mine!

this plant is a total showpiece in my garden. big leaves, strong stem, and it arrived in great condition. hoping for fruit this season!

never seen this in any nursery near me. got it from ecolf and i’m honestly impressed. it’s thriving in delhi weather too.

okay this fruit is wild. it’s sweet but has this creamy texture like sweet potato meets pudding. definitely not your average fruit.

mine arrived healthy and fresh. started showing new growth within 10 days. just keeping it in full sun and watering every 3 days.

i’ve been wanting to grow canistel for a while now and finally found it here. rare, exotic, and easy to manage so far.

fruit is not too juicy but super filling and tasty. if you like sweet dense fruits, this is gonna blow your mind.

got it for my dad who loves tropical fruits. he was so happy! plant was healthy, no pests, and packed really well.
