The Tropical Fruit Forum

User eyeckr on here is a great source.  But he won't have ripe seeds until November.  He is a good a person and honest as you get.

Mine all croaked in AZ they day it hit 100.  I am not sure if that was the sole cause or not.

Or jocote, as my wife calls it.  Red variety.  Might be spondias purpura.   Looking for a small tree but with a healthy root system.

Thanks for input.
To say Shamus is an expert on tropical fruit trees is like saying islet at Marriott hotel last night and now I am qualified for brain surgery.  The only thing he does is find someone else's post online, copy it verbatim and claim it as his own.  Oh, and the other thing he does well is qualify as being one of the most miserable, hateful persons on the planet. 

I think I would do mostly 300 different varieties.   I think one tree would enough for me to have my fill.  And after that, I would probably go for more rare and heirloom varieties.
But that's me, but no right or wrong answer here, but interesting to think about.

Has anyone on here tried or is growing a Jackson grapefruit?   Saw one for sale and the flavor profile sounded interesting.  But, thought I would ask since most sellers make their fruit sound incredible.

If only I could purchase a Brown's select or Xie Shan in AZ!

Ok, I had a dwarf mango I ordered from Logee's.  It was doing great and had started to bloom.  I had the tree at my mother's because I don't have a window with sunlight.
Well, unbeknownst to me, she put that pot inside a sealed pot and the leaves started to droop.   So, the more they drooped, the more she watered.  By the time she thought it was a good time for me to look at, she had watered it so much that she probably could have drowned aquatic plants.
So, I am in the market again for another dwarf mango.
Looking for suggestions on a new dwarf
1. Want productivity
2. Want good flavor.
Will more than likely keep it in a pot.
Looking for recommendations on variety, on places to purchase online or if anyone on here has one for sale.

It should have plenty of water.  It is facing north.  I cannot plant anything facing south, as that is my front lawn and HOA will not allow a mango to be planted.
Soul isn't the best, that area used to be 100% concrete patio that i busted out.  Soil is heavy clay and more than likely alkaline, like the rest of Phoenix metro.

I have heard it before called sanbokan grapefruit, so that makes sense.

Looking for either a dwarf or improved variety or both.

They are kind of out of control with my citrus.  And, they seem to go back and forth with my rose bushes,  and that irritates me even more.  I heard you cannot really get rid of them forever, but, I would like a plan to more or less keep it under control.

There is a nursery in glendale, AZ.  They have a low chill pace variety that fits that bill.  Google RSI nursery in glendale, az
