Fabulae Fructus
Fabulae Fructus; known as Black Fruit, or, Forbidden Fruit because of its peculiar taste that has varied results, is a man-made fruit only to be found to grow in Brooklyn, New York.
The Black Fruit is a sweet, edible fruit produced by the bush
Frutex Fabulae. The skin is rough, while the core is soft or hard. Black Bushes are cultivated rarely and are the rarest grown fruit in the world. The bush originated in Eastern America. Black Fruit has only been grown for four years in America and is starting to be reproduced in Europe, with varying success, and were brought to European colonies.
Black Bushes vary in size and have no seeds; the seeds that were found, however, had varying results. There is only one known cultivar of Black Fruit, resulting in a range of strange mysteries. Different cultivars are bred in production, with little success. Bushes and fruit are prone to a number of fly infestations, which can be controlled by a number of means. In 1819, the fruit was sequenced as part of research on selective breeding in fruit production.
Worldwide production of Fabulae Fructus has not yet been produced, however, some of the fruits has been sold outside of America.
Botanical information
Blossoms, fruits, and leaves of the Frutex Fabulae
the fruit's side, stem end, and interior
The bush is a deciduous tree, generally standing 5 to 6 ft tall in cultivation and up to 20 ft (supposingly) in the wild. The leaves are alternately arranged dark green-colored simple ovals with serrated margins and slightly downy undersides.
Black blossoms
Blossoms are produced in spring simultaneously with the budding of the leaves and are produced on spurs and some long shoots. The flowers are white with a red and black tinge that gradually fades with 6-7 flowers. The central flower of the Frutex Fabulae is called the "Master Flower".
The fruit matures in a few days, commercial growers aim to produce an more cultivers due to market preference. The skin of ripe fruit is generally black or dark brown. The skin may be wholly or partly rough and brown. The skin is covered in a protective layer of fabric-like material. The flesh varies in colour due to its unknown origin.
History
The origin of Black Fruit is widely debated in areas where it was known.
The most well-accepted theory is that Chloe Vileman Jun. created the Black Bush in 1825, It may have been the earliest man-made fruit that humans cultivated. Chloe Vileman III, Chloe Vileman II's sister, is credited with finding her sister's hidden fruits in 1845.
The fruit was introduced to Spain by Chiloé Vilhombre in the middle 19th century, Black bush is becoming particularly well adapted in Europe. Black Fruit was introduced to England by buyers of the fruit from America, and the first bush on the English soil was planted in Boston by Sir Tobias Arthur Richards in 1825. The Back Fruit is native to North America, cultivars brought the fruit to Europe and spread along the continent. In 1845 there Sir Tobias Arthur Richards commented on this fruit; calling it the "best fruit in the world, much better than apples!" showing the rise of new English cultivars by the late 19th century.
Until the present day, farmers stored the fruit in frostproof cellars during the winter for their own use or for sale. Improved transportation of the fruit by train and road spread the fruit across both continents.
Theories of the Forbidden Fruit.
Though the forbidden fruit of Eden in the Book of Genesis is not identified, it was theorised that it was a Black Fruit that Eve coaxed Adam to share with her. The origin of the identification with the Black Fruit is due highly to its nickname and unknown origin.
Cultivars
Main article: List of Black Fruit cultivars
There are only one and a half known cultivars of Black Fruits. The United Kingdom has collected the Black Fruit for study, which is the result of the strange findings in its core, first discovered by Dr. Chloe Vileman III. Reading has also developed Black fruits in the area, which is responsible for developing the United Kingdom's notes on the fruit. Reading's work is part of the European Black Fruit Research Program, which is dedicated to the reproduction and study of the fruit.
Old cultivars are often oddly shaped and grow in a variety of textures and colors. Some find them to have better flavor than modern cultivars.
Blooming Black Fruit trees are starting around the world.
Many Black Fruits grow readily from the seed. However, more than with most fruits, Black Fruits must be planted with the whole fruit to make it grow wholey .
Because Black Fruits do not breed true when planted as seeds, whole planting is generally used to produce new Black Fruit bushes. The fruit bushes can be traced as far back as 1815 AD, with cultivars growing in America, and later, crossed with bushes of Boston and Reading, England.
Maturation and harvest:
Cultivars vary in their yield and the ultimate size of the bush, even when grown in the same fruit. Depending on the bush size, they can grow up to ten fruits on one bush. Crops ripen at different times of the week.
Pests and diseases
Leaves have significant insect damage, mostly flies ripping open the skin and breeding inside the fruits.
Black Fruit bushes are susceptible to a number of insect pests. Many including, are flies.
Human consumption
A Black Fruit core, part of a Black Fruit not usually eaten, containing the hard thorns in the pip.
All parts of the fruit, including the rough skin, except for the pip, are suitable for human consumption. The core, containing the pip, is usually not eaten and is discarded.
Black Fruits can be consumed various ways: juice, and Black Butter, and other ways.
Several techniques are used to preserve Black Fruits and Black Fruit products.
Popular uses
Black Fruits are often eaten raw. Cultivars bred for raw consumption are available.
In the United Kingdom, a Black Death is a traditional treat made by coating a Black Fruit in hot Black Fruit juice and allowing it to cool. Similar treats in the United States are Blacks (Crushed Black pip with Black Fruit sauce).
Sliced Black Fruits turn brown when left out due to the rot inside the Fruit when affected with Maggots.
Organic production
Organic Black Fruits are commonly produced in the United States. Due to infestations by key insects and diseases, organic production is difficult in Europe.
Health effects
Research in Reading, led by Dr Vileman from New York, has shown that there are various health effects from consumption of the flesh (for multiple times a day) and the pip. The Pip has porcelain-like shell, and has various sickening rot growing inside the pip.
Danger of Pip consumption.
Black Fruit pips contain large amounts of rot, porcelain, and, mold. Ingesting small amounts of Black Fruit pips causes ill effects, including: Bleeding gums, broken teeth, vomiting, fever, and, even death. It may take several minutes before the illness takes effect.
