With the huge influx of immigrants from SouthEast Asia and the
Indian sub-continent into Florida, the numbers of Chiku trees in
Florida are increasing day by day. Now you can buy the fruits in
oriental and caribbean markets, year round.
Because of the ever increasing demands, Nurseries are carrying
all varieties of Chiku trees including one that is seedless.
Sorry to disappoint you about my Thaumaturgy. Despite my best
attempts, the only miracle I had been able to perform so far is
the record time in which I can empty a plate full of food, any kind
of food for that matter.
So far, no challenges had been forthcoming.
As a greeting from Florida and I do realize that it has nothing to do
with Goa, here are some photos of Chiku growing right here in this
sub-tropical paradise.
Thanks.

Hello Asit:
Chickoo, my once favorite fruit, can never be found here. Is it
available in Florida? Its look-alike, Kiwi, pales in comparison :(
The Thaumaturgist -- do you perform miracles or work wonders and
what other uses are there for this chickoo's derivative? Thanks.
I enjoyed reading your interesting post.
