I just got my fruits delivered today, it tastes good. I purchased two 8oz containers, $22 each.
lWhere did you find Erdon Lee. I couldn't find it on Weee. Looking for seeds.
I will post photos later tonight, here's the results of my brix reading:
1. King Lychee (erdon lee), brix =13
2. Red Rambutan, brix =11
3. Purple Pearl Yangmei, brix=12
In comparing these 3 fruits I just tasted, I like the King Lychee the best, then the Yangmei, and last is the Rambutan.
Same seller as the $350 seed.
I remember when eugenia langsdorffii once came in the seed sold for $350 on ebay
Now it's $6
How the times have changed!
Glad I didn't put in my order yet!
Once again, shoutout to a great seller!
Brad, I love the pictures with all the avocado diversity. Wish we could of made it to your avo tasting last year. We went to the Avocado Festival in Fallbrook at the end of April hoping to try some new varieties. Pretty disappointing, no one was selling avocados. Atkins nursery was there selling citrus and cherimoya and they had one 5 gallon Nabal tree but wanted $85 so we passed. We walked the whole thing looking for something avocado related, there was one vendor selling cutting boards made from avocado wood, that was pretty much it. Huge crowds of people, it ended up being a large street fair with vendors selling lots of "stuff" and fried foods, not our thing.
Seems like you could fill such a niche market with all the different varieties that can't be found anywhere. I know I would buy a box of all the diversity just to be able to taste the difference.
I wonder sometimes if those of us on this forum that spend years waiting to try fruit and look for different and diverse flavors are really rare. Will there be a market for all the specialty fruits I want to experiment with.
