I remember eating these fruits as a kid in Southern Cal. One of our neighbors had a massive tree in the front yard. It must have been at least 40-50 years old. Hope it's still there...the fruits were yummy! Kind of like the sweet and tart candy that came rolled in pill form.
Tasted fruits from two trees at the botanical gardens (off the ground). Neither were very good and were far worse than my neighbor's.
Thanks for all the information. The repots on interplanting with Guava is really interesting. Too bad I still can't find a place that sells Seedless Vietnamese Guava, they are extremely delicious. I will be picking up a few pherimone traps to protect my citrus. The research regarding Genetically modified citrus with the Spinach gene looks promising. I remember reading somewhere that there was some sort of ailment killing many citrus trees and trees were eventually saved by multiple rootstock technology. The additional rootstock added to existing trees were resistant to whatever disease or ailment was affecting the fruitcrop tree.

Shaneatwell have you given any protection or is that without any?
Idea of aspirin came from ancient use of willow bark extract against headaches, both contain salicylic acid. It's well known that salicylic acid helps with rooting. We used to put aspirins in flower vases also to maintaiin cut flowers longer. As to getting fruit trees to fruit faster---i suppose it's possible if they also are rooting faster. But how many aspirins or bottles of aspirins would you have to use on a full grown tree? Seems like the cost of the aspirin might be higher than the cost of the fruit produced?
