Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Large Rooted Passion Fruit Cuttings For Sale $5
« on: May 05, 2019, 12:07:04 PM »
I have large rooted passion fruit cuttings for sale. They were rooted in water.
I'm not sure of the variety as I have 3 different types planted next to each other and they have grown together. The varieties I have growing are Sweet Sunrise, Possum Purple, and Panama. All are from PIN. I have attached images of the cuttings, fruit and flowers. I don't know which plant's fruits and flowers are in the photos as I have not traced them back to the mother. As you can see, they are vigorous growers.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Looking to get Pickering and Cogshall mango for container growing
« on: January 28, 2019, 05:16:36 PM »
I have been reading for some time about possible container mangos. Now that I feel that I am about ready, the final candidates are Pickering and Cogshall.
I don't want to put the tree in the ground and want to maintain it at a smaller size. A lot I have been reading about these mangos seem to fit that mold.
I have contacted PIN, they have Cogshall in stock but not Pickering. So I may have to wait.
Are there any suggestions or recommendations on growing these in containers?

Hello all,
I am in Miami, FL and I want to build a small screened area for some smaller plants. This area is approx. 7'x6'x5' (wxhxd). Does anyone in the area have experience with this sort of project? Any help or suggestions from anyone in any area would be appreciated.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Dragon Fruit Taste Reports
« on: November 20, 2014, 05:42:16 PM »
Is there site that lists DF taste reports or ranks them? I know it's subjective but I just wanted to know what is preferred by people "in the know". Also wanted to know what to stay away from when I am in the nursery picking out DF plants.
I currently have a Halley's Comet plant which I planted a month or so ago. I also have other unknown DF's and different cuttings.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Wanted: Dragon Fruit Cuttings (S. FL area)
« on: September 27, 2014, 07:33:23 PM »
Hello all,
This is my first post to this wonderful forum. I have been reading for some time and have just signed up.
Today I went north to a nursery in Broward and picked up a DF cactus. It is called Halleys Comet. Once I came home, I set up a post and planted that sucker.
I am looking for other types of DF to put around the post as well. Let me know if you have any cuttings that you can spare. I am willing to pay, as I don't really have anything to trade.
Thanks,
Shawn
