Naw, I just bought the land that the pawpaws had decided to grow on! Now soursop, that’d be another story. Some of the most delicious candy that I’ve had was soursop flavored.
Woow! Really?
I can’t even imagine that someone would make a candy flavored Soursop candy, you have got to take a picture of that and post here (a little off our topic but interesting). I know they made the kool-aide flavored drink mix and that didnt do justice.
That’s also very interesting @audi_o_phile I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors with the land and the pawpaws. Because, I was looking at trying to do the impossible and actually try to grow and care for some pawpaws. But the architectural & engineering plans for such an undertaking are too expansive and expensive for such a venture for now.
Oops, these candies are guava, it is the smoothies at the restaurant that are soursop flavored.

My favorite flavor of smoothies are actually taro, which I would guess grows in your area as well @JJosepha.

Wow!Bon apetite!
Hi @audi_o_phile, but that looks like the White Guava on the wrapper, a very delicious flavor “close relative” to the flavor of the Soursop.
Yes! Audi_o_phile it is the white guava.
and the Soursop smoothies yes they are incredible. That taste is like paradise refound! (lol)
Anyway back to the main topic, on how can we identify this unknown plant I have growing!
JJ,
I’d let the plant grow and see what happens.
The tree that grows in Florida and a few other states,Asimina parviflora,the Smallflower Pawpaw,may be possible,but yes,could cost a bit.
I’ve tried something like Soursop bubble tea and liked it.
Thanks for the fruiting plants information.I’ve tried to grow,a couple of those and some others,but not too successful.It seems like some people want something out of their zone,that’s different.

Yes, the bark I was referring to is the passion fruit. The green shoots definitely look like yellow kiwi. Chill hours on yellow kiwi are similar to fuzzy kiwi, but it can vary a lot. The vines do have ornamental value and it may be possible to trick them into dormancy by stripping leaves like apples.

Thanks @Bradybb for the suggestion of leaving it and see what develops, but what other choice do I really have, without knowing what I am really and truly dealing with.
The plant is actually 64cm tall and the leaves are basically 9cm wide and 11cm long and are as described earlier.
Woow the Asimina Parviflora (dwarf Pawpaw) grows and florishes down in FL? That’s very interesting and If there are any Dwarf Papaw growers on here reading thru this forum reach out to me.
You are welcome! If I have information that I have and can share it for others benefit, knowledge and wisdom, then I am glad to.
Yes it seems that some people want somethings out of threir USDA hardizone. I have just started passion fruit.
Take care!

I let this volunteer stay in the garden this year because it looked like maybe a Ribes of some sort, and was in a good place for one (between the hardy kiwi and a new strawberry bed). Can anyone confirm or narrow that ID?
I figured I might as well piggyback on this thread as well, (rather than opening a separate thread). I hope someone can aid in this trees identification.
I had a section of my land cleared without carefully inspecting the trees in the area which are mostly Douglas firs, with some cedar, maple and arbutus trees.
Now a year after clearing, I’ve noticed growth from an approximately 6" stump that does not look native at all. I’ve never grown any avocado’s other than a few from grocery seeds that the deer ate, so I have no real knowledge of what an adult avocado tree looks like.
I did a google image search on the leaves that have regrown and the bark on the stump remaining from the trunk of the tree. The online pictures seem consistent with an avocado tree, but this makes no sense as I live in Canada. Although, my climate is very mild as I live in the warmest part of Canada (Southern Gulf Islands). However, where I live is hardly like California avocado growing country.
Is the tree growing up from the stump actually an avocado tree? I don’t know what it is, but it certainly doesn’t look native to British Columbia. I have no idea how this tree could have sprung up on an unused section of my property that was never used for cultivation. This area was cleared over 50 years ago and if I had to guess, I would think this tree was 10-15 years old before it was cut down.
Does anyone know what this tree might be, as I swear it looks like an avocado?
The bark on the trunk can be viewed if you zoom in closely on the second picture.
Can anyone confirm the identity of this tree? Kind of strange as the tree seems completely out of place in the PNW and I have no idea of how it could have gotten there.
Looks like a walnut to me. Any possible close-ups on the stems/buds?

Yah, looks like English walnut

Yeah, those are compound leaves, so def not avocado. Walnut or some relative makes sense I think.
