What type of branch would be suitable for rooting?  Last year's growth with the sappy tips removed and leaves intact?

FYI - JF dropped off some Cangrejos budwood for me along with African Pride. I have already distributed it to four folks. I am out for now.  When we meet at CRFG later this month, if JF brings more I will be happy to share with you folks. Thanks

Thanks for all your help Behl! I will prune the trees today or tomorrow and give the budwood to null zero(Stephen). This will be the last opportunity for everyone.

Thanks again

How do I obtain scions from Cangrejos' sugar apple?  I signed up for the wait list last year.
Anymore lisa atemoya available?

I grafted these atemoyas (AP) ~3-4 weeks ago.  The scions are pushing and the largest bud is close to an inch.  The rubber band was starting to restrict the growth so I removed it.  Should I wrap the exposed part of the union with another layer of parafilm to prevent bacteria/fungi from getting in? 

Hi,


I am looking for these guava scions:
Ong (not the seedling)
Seedless varieties

Miracle fruit tree

I'll pay for the wood/tree and cost of shipping.

Thanks!

I've performed some grafts on several mangos a few days ago. The rootstock is pushing new growth and the budwood is budding ...... does it have a chance to take if our morning lows still reach the mid 40's and 50's?? I've had success in April and May but never in the fall, summer and winter months. This the first time I've attended it going into March.

I have a guava grafted right before the So. Cal frost that took.  The guava tree was in the middle of my back yard with no frost protection. The lowest temperature was probably in the mid 20's. The temperature is warming up and it's pushing new growth.  I think you'll be OK.

Hey Fang,

I have 2 dormant trees on the ground now.  One is about 5' the other is about 2'.
These are wild seedlings.  The variety is unknown.

Do you have a tree already or are you going to root the mulberry cuttings?

Not sure if papaya tree nursery still have the turnbull variety.  He still have his 2011 list up.
Try giving him a call.  I spoke with Alex before and he is a pretty nice guy.  His trees are pricey though.

Xshen, the foothill one is closest to you in Arcadia. They had lots of apricots last weekend, and other stone fruits. That one meets only every 2 months though.
I'd imagine the LA and OC ones are far for you unless you work there or happen to go that way on the weekend.

I tried grafting apricot for the first time last weekend and the wood on the small twig of a scion was tougher than I imagined. Normally I do cherimoya, white sapote and soft things like that.

There was a scion exchange meet on Feb 2 that I just missed in the Arcadia chapter. 

I did obtain a few royal apricot scions and grafted them right before the frost hit us.  The apricots are now coming out of dormacy and started to push through the parafilm.  So far, it looks like all four apricot grafts took.  I also did about 10+ cherry grafts.  They are also starting to push through the parafilm.  Stone fruits seem to take pretty easily.  I haven't had one that failed yet.  I also did a few atemoya grafts before the frost.  Some started to push and even had close to an inch of growth but they turned black and brittle after the frost.  I will try again in a few weeks.

Hi everyone.
I am looking for these scion woods:

Persian or Pakistan mulberry

Please let me know if you have any to spare.  I'll pay for the wood and cost of shipping.

Thanks in advance.


I have some santa rosa plum and black tartarian cherry just in case if you want to swap.

Does anyone know if wampi seeds come true from the parents?  Since it's related to citrus, I am hoping it does.  How long does it take for a seedling to produce?

My friend has a grafted chicken heart and I would like to plant some seedlings out of this.

Why not just set up an airlayer on your friends tree? Works easily on citrus so I would imagine it would work on these as well.

I thought about that but I was little hesitant to ask since I already did 5 air layers on his lychee tree last weekend.

Anyone have any extra back surgar cane to spare? I jus need a few nodes. My parents grew this in their farm 20 some years ago back in china but we haven't seen black/purple sugar cane in the states. Please pm me if you can spare some. I'll pay for shipping and the cane.

Yes.  Thanks for correcting me.  It's Charly from Rowland Heights.

Charly's prices are very reasonable.  I got an African pride atemoya from him for $30 (instead of $35 since I bought a few things from him).  Ong's have similar size African prides for $75.
