New Petchburi Pete Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 I love the wonderful array of Thai fruits. I really enjoy the pineappple in particular. I'm sure everyone has their favorites. Out of cuiosity, does anyone know whether or not apricots and peaches are grown in LOS? If so, are they grown predominantly in any particular province? If anyone has any information on the availability of these two, I'd like to be informed. Thanks for any reliable input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 naaaaaaa, i dont think they grow them here yet, but they grow strawberries in chang mai etc so there really is no reason they cant be grown here, i remember one time i brought back cherries from malaysia, i had enough cherries in malaysia and thought i would put the extras in my fridge in thailand for a couple of days later (i mean i hadnt eaten cherries for like 12 years so it was a special treat) hmmmmm, 2 days later i look in the fridge and i got no cherries, yep it seems once a thai has tried erm they like erm aswell malaysia has good plums aswell , right thats it im off to malay for a buying spree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I think the climate is to damp or something. Apricots tend to like a drier climate. Not sure about peaches. A friend of mine wanted to grow Pistachios on her dads farm. I called around to U.C. agriculture dept, taked to the Nut experts. She and He (dual experts) said the climate was all wrong. Said even San Jauquin valley was to wet at times! She also mentioned Apricotes during that conversation...The rule of thumb she says is "think of where they grow here, or in the world, if the place you want to grow them has a similar climate, then o.k. if not, they won't grow..."

Coss Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 In Middle Earth the Apricots grow down south where it's v. cold in winter, I suppose Chiang Mai in the hills might do it, but at a stretch. Cheers Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 If anyone has any information on the availability of these two Can buy them at super markets in Bangkok and on the streets. Cherries and strawberries too. Produce like this tends to be imported from Aus/NZ according to the annoying stickers glued to each piece of fruit.

whosyourdaddy Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yes Peaches are grown under the kings agriculture project. Very small amount will come out into the markets but they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
