Let's have some fun, I'm ready to get this thread started
:
when a seedling of another species pops up in a potted plant, we call it a "Hitchhiker" or "Stowaway" (they are just looking for a vehicle to ride in, and a happy home)
when a seedling of the same species pops up in a potted plant (usually from dropped fruit), we call it an "insurance policy" (if your mother tree dies, you have a back up plant, ready to go, in the same pot)
jaboticaba = jabo
Tommy Atkins = Tommy Asskiss (taste like a port-o-let smells)
Haden = Has Been
Sweet heart = Sweet shit (in FL it has earned this title, for being the most unproductive highly touted lychee in existence)
Runt fruit (nubbin) = Danny Devito
will keep adding more as they come along.
