If anyone have never bought seeds from Oscar before you should go on his website today and order some because they are consistently the best quality seeds. I've ordered from him a few times and the seeds have always arrived quickly and were viable. I actually just ordered some Theobroma bicolor seeds yesterday.

Thanks guys for all the kudos! I hope i can continue to live up to your expectations. I do make mistake sometimes, but when i do i try to correct them. As you might have noticed this is not my business...it's my hobby gone totally out of control! HAHA So i consider myself very lucky, and do it with a passion.
BTW, the Theobroma bicolor, aka white cacao, is not fruiting right now, but will send to you ASAP. Thanks for your patience!

I got some abiu seeds from Oscar long time ago.  The seeds arrived already germinating inside the ziplock bag.  Those seeds became some fantastic abiu trees that will flower and fruit any time soon!  Thank you Oscar!  Great seeds!

Hello Amr, i will try to find out what the requirements are, if a phyto sanitary certificate is required or not for your country.
Oscar
Title: Re: Fruit Lover's Nursery Seed and Scions
Post by: Felipe on January 25, 2012, 02:27:31 PM
Oscar, in Spain (whole European Union) you need an phyto certificate. But a few weeks ago, we got scions from FL and decided not to ask for a phyto. The reason is, with a phyto, the parcel would take much longer to pass customs and that could be fatal to the plant material. At the end the authorities do not care whether some 'sticks' have a phyto or not, specially customs in souther Europe...  ;D

I guess egyptian customs should behave similar to spanish ones...

BTW, now the grafted plants are in quarantine ;)

Fruitlovers - I live in the desert of Southern California - which varieties of your mango scions do you think might be best adapted to my smoking hot summers?

Barring a clear answer to that question, which of the mango scion wood that you have available would be your (personal) top 5 favorite tasting/fiberless or near fiberless varieties?  And what would be the latest flowering/fruiting varieties....

(Just trying to pick out from your choices what I don't already have)

MangoFan i have zero experience growing mangos in hot desert areas. I can only tell you what does well here in Hawaii and what tastes great in Hawaii. Some of my best tasting and producing so far are Rapoza, Golden Glow, Florigon, Brook's Late, and Fairchild. But not all of my trees have fruited yet, maybe about 1/3.
Oscar
PS i've heard thru grapevine that Manzanillo does well in desert areas. That's also a very large and good tasting one.

I need them by the first week of May because I've hired the master grafter from Mimosa to come to my house and do a topgraft on to my Manila. I will do a video and post it on this forum. He has a 90% take rate on mangos so I will have him graft 4 or 5 varieties on to my Manila.

I have some folks from California now asking me also for lychee air layers, but most of them only want one or two air layers. Would it be possible for you all to get a group shipment of these as well? It's just no worth it for me to go through the trouble to send only one air layer. Need to send minimum 4 or more. I could send the air layers at same time as scions, or separately, whatever you all prefer.

I have had a few email me with interest in airlayer lychees as well. Someone suggested that we could meet at Green Scene to exchange the scion and air layers. I think this would be a good option, however its April 15th (I know JF wanted the scion first week of May because of the grafter appointment). Perhaps the appointment could be moved up?

If not we can stick to the first week of May, and pick a location possibly in Los Angeles county to meet up and exchange. Also I would prefer paypal as the method to get the money for the order together (this would make the process easier, and more organized to keep track of who paid for what). You can always email me through the forums, you can also talk to me on the phone as well after contacting me through email.

On the shipping costs, I was thinking those that order airlayers pay more towards the shipping then those that order the scion (any ideas or advice on the shipping feel free to msg me). Not sure what the shipping costs would look like, but I am sure it would be at least $50.

I couldn't guarantee a specific date for shipment because air layers take their time to form good root balls, and would have to send when all are ready together. Shipment cost will depend on weight of package: how many air layers ordered? It might be better to do 2 shipments, one of scion and one of airlayers, since the scions could be sent at any time.

My method of diving shipping costs when I have done group orders from Frankie's in the past is to weigh each item individually and then add up the total weight and then work out what percentage of the total weight each item is and then charge each person the same percentage amount of the total shipping as their weight percentage was.

I am going to arrange this order strictly as a scion order. Going to stick with the first week of May as the date of order. Shipping costs for scion could simply be split by the amount of Scion ordered.

Ex. shipping $20
Andrew orders 5 scion, Bob orders 3 scion, and Chris orders 2 scion
Andrew pays $10, Bob pays $6, and Chris pays $4 towards shipping.

James, there was already a group order placed from California for air layers. The person organizing it is is Jacob. Maybe it would be possible to add what you want to that order? You need to contact Jacob. The cost per air layer is $40 plus your share of shipping costs. If interested please let us know right away so i can put on your desiread air layers and all can be shipped at same time. Thanks.

hello,
I'm a fan of exotic plants and fruit trees, like many other.
I think that passion must be shared with other passionate and that aid must be between between passionate.
I want a mango pickering, gold nugget, glenn, mallika or cuttings, the problem is that I live in europe (France) and that the costs are high.
I have three rootstock waiting to be grafted, I thought of a cutting in a bubble envelope?
is there someone to reduce cost or otherwise.
thank you very much.

Yes it's possible to graft both lychee and longan. Air layering is what most nurseries do just because it's easiest. When grafting lychee or longan suggest using same cultivar if possible. This will insure a very high take. So for example, when grafting kaimana use a rootstock started from kaimana seeds. Same with longans. There is some incompatibility between some cultivars.

Also, remember a seed grown lychee will send out a tap root, that's also another advantage to air layering them...you get a lot more lateral root growth with air layering methods (which makes for a sturdier tree) which is good for rocky soils ie, miami/dade counties..

A grafted tree will be less easily toppled over than an air layered tree. Whitman preferred airlayers in hurricane area, his thinking was that even if toppled or snaps whole tree is same cultivar and can be righted or can resprout from roots. If a grafted tree snaps you may only be left with the rootstock.

If a grafted tree snaps you may only be left with the rootstock.

I am of the same mind and now experience as Whitman.  I have many Longan and Lychee trees. My largest trees of these two is a Brewster Lychee.  In Hurricane Wilma, I had a couple of lychees topple over and a couple of longans as well. The largest tree, my original Brewster did not tip over and didn't even loose any major branches.  I did have a Bengal and Hak Ip and a smaller Brewster tip over.  However, in the longan department, my seedling Longan (seedling of Kohala) tipped over (so much for conclusively better wind resistance with a seedling rootstock)  and my largest See Chompoo Longan snapped at ground level.  The See Chompoo, as an airlayer, resprouted from the roots and is a pretty large tree again and fruiting this year.. I do think that seedlings which are then grafted probably do provide more well rooted trees, but I don't think the difference is that great from my observations.  And since it is quite difficult to graft and quite easy to airlayer, I think there will be continued preference for layering.

Wow, go figure.....never would have thought that could happen.  Very interesting. Maybe in Hawaii's super moist environment, lychee cuttings might be another way to successfully propagate.

Send seeds to NZ all the time. A phyto sanitary certificate is not required for NZ. You just have to make sure the seeds you want are on the permitted list for your country. Contact your ag department to find out what is on the permitted list.

Jackfruit and cheena have some variation from seed, but if you start from seed of fruits of superior quality you are very likely to get good fruit. Seeds from Black Gold jacks usually produce good fruits. We use that and Golden Nugget. However if you have access to grafted trees you are better off going that route.

Yes you can specify. I suggest you use Black Gold because that has already been tried in Israel and is quite cold hardy. Seeds i sent of Black Gold to Israel years ago have already fruited well.

If you go to the seed page listing at http://fruitlovers.com/seedlistforeign.html (http://fruitlovers.com/seedlistforeign.html)  you will see a column with  damage and kill temperatures. You can use that as a guideline, depending on what part of Israel you are in. Also there is a column with approximate times available. The ones available right now will say "Available now".

It is about as cold tolerant, but less sun tolerant and less tolerant of dry and windy conditions. Some strains of cacao are quite tough, then Cupuassu comes next, then Mocambo - but if well protected and watered well they should do okay. They are a magnet for mealy bugs though. I had one in ground that did well during our wet years, but this past few months has been super dry and no cloud cover with plenty of wind (so dry Im sneezing blood!), so its a gonner - the Cacao next to it is sad, but fine.

Don't agree about T. bicolor being less sun tolerant than cacao. Have a bunch of T. bicolor in full sun and all are doing great. Do agree about them being less wind tolerant. But this may just be because they get a heck of a lot taller than cacao. I think the bicolor is just as tough or tougher than cacao, at least in our climate. But don't know about it's cold hardiness.

Most theobromas only need some shade when small. He there are cacao plantations in full sun. In areas with very low humidity the partial shade would be a lot more important.

Don't know much about Coffee, but did hear about new variety that can take full sun, but rumor is that quality is not as good as the shade lovers,
Here in the DR, Cacao is typically planted under trees like breadfruit or "Madre de Cacao" ( Cacao's Mother ).  Cacao likes moisture, and does ok even in clay soils.

I just finished getting my flights for December, I will be in the US from the 2nd to the 17th.  I am guessing you need time ahead to prepare the scions before cutting and all that.  because of viability , receiving them just before I leave for the DR, would be best time. ( before 17th. )

my rainforest plum is still blooming, it will I'm assuming up until the first frost!

it's endured temps that defoliated my jaboticaba partially (45f)!

I'm trying to coax it to fruit over the winter!  I think it will shut down, and stop blooming/fruiting until next May, if it freezes.

they seem to have similar cold tolerance to a young cherry of the rio grande..around 25f will be fatal if exposure is prolonged or at an inopportune timing (like when your tree is small)

I have small mailable plants of Inga vulpina right now for sale. The vulpina is a dwarf type of Inga for those of you who don't have space in their backyards. This is a nitrogen fixing tree, so will grow in extremely poor soils. Usually maxes out at 20-25 feet. Very ornamental with unusual pink flowers (most ingas have white flowers). The pods are short and stubby with a velvety coating on the outside. This species is very widely adapted. In its native Brazil grows all the way from tropical NE Bahia to the much cooler Catarina in s. Brazil. Price is $25 per plants plus s&h.

Hi Jackson, no they can't be grafted because they are in completely different plant families.
Mamey sapote is in Sapotaceae
Suebelle is  white sapote, and is in Rutaceae (citrus family).
The name sapote is kind of confusing because many different fruits have that name. But it just means a soft fruit.

Jackson, maybe you can graft a mamey onto a green sapote, lucuma, or sapodilla. I'm not sure if it's practical at all given how slow they grow. It must take a long time for grafts to heal too.

Black sapote is also different, basically an astringent persimmon.

Huh??  I would not classify a Black Sapote as such...yes, it is in the persimmon family and yes. you must basically let it rot before you eat it but would not group it into the category of what most people classify the "astringent persimmons".  Taste, look, texture, etc. are all way off when compared to the "astringent" orange/red persimmons.

Looks similar to me. It depends on whether color or structural features are more important to you. Color-wise yes they're way different.
You're absolutely right. I self-rationalized it when I pecked up the message from my ipod, wanting to save some finger pokes.

But the point there was it's different from mamey.

When you order from Trade Winds, you are likely to get unsproutable junk. If you want quality than order from Oscar. By being cheap you are likely to pay twice, and then end up buying from Oscar anyway.

Hi Mike, the Kai is the sweet type, the Mayong Chid is the sweet/sour type. You should be able to graft onto mango rootstock. If you use maprang seeds you will have a wait till they get of age. It might be good also though for nurseryman in Florida to experiment with seedling maprang as they may adapt better to soil/climate there than grafted trees.

Steven, best time for grafting is your active growing seasons: spring/summer. Scions are around pencil size and usually 5-6 inches long. Loquats are Golden Nugget and Wolffe. Will not have other mamey sapotes.

Also I originally thought that Myrciaria glazioviana and Plinia edulis were synonyms and have several plants marked with both called yellow jabo. What is the difference between them? I also have another plant labeled Plinia glomerata that is also called yellow jabo and am not sure what species it is, and a couple plants that just say Myrciaria sp yellow jabo. What species can they be grafted onto on to and what are their superior characteristics?

Hi Steven, don't know what species Eugenia candolleana can be grafted onto besides itself. I haven't experimented with that.
Myrciaria glazioviana and Plinia edulis are too completely different plants. The Plinia edulis is called cambuca. In my opinion the cambuca is a much superior and larger fruit to the yellow jaboticaba (aka cabelluda). You can see a thread about cambuca and read all about it and see photos here: http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=411.msg4907#msg4907 (http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=411.msg4907#msg4907)
Plinia glomerata is a synonym for Myrciaria glomerata. For some time it was thought that the scientific name for yellow jaboticaba was Myrciaria glomerata, and some nurseries still mistakenly call it that (like Frankies nursery). But that is incorrect. M. glomerata actually is a completely different plant. You can see real M. glomerata in Lorenzi's book Brazilian Trees.
I hope that answers all your questions.

That is a very outdated page. I stopped shipping plants for many reasons, but mostly just because i didn't like doing it. I did ship plants for many years and just got tired of doing that. I'm concentrating more on mailing seeds now as there is not so much red tape and headaches with them.

I just carted off some of the lychee trunks i cut over a month ago. Lo and behold one of the trunks just laying on the ground was starting to sprout out, like a giant cutting that hadn't even been stuck in the ground!

Wow, go figure.....never would have thought that could happen.  Very interesting. Maybe in Hawaii's super moist environment, lychee cuttings might be another way to successfully propagate.

Harry

On the subject of lychee propagation,  a couple of months ago I went to so some grafting on my Hak Up and discovered a small branch had recently snapped (possible dog damage). It wasn't much, but owing to the relative immaturity of my tree I hated to see any growth go to waste, so I trimmed it, dipped the cut end in rooting hormone, put it in a pot, and tented it with a plastic bag. I left it on a heating pad in my garage and waited. All the leaves dropped in short order, no surprise. Then, yesterday, I noticed the cutting was starting to bud out. I'm glad I didn't throw it out. Another case of patience (laziness) paying off!

Check them all before they go out. A lot can happen in 10 days! Especially if left somewhere along the postal route sitting in hot sun. I'll see if i can send you more, but in summer weather can't guarantee the same thing won't happen again.

Well if too hot let's wait then, so it will be from this summer harvest. Anyway, some seeds were not available and I will get another packet from you later.
About the mails I had sent, did you receive them?
I asked you about the origin of the seeds, if they are from trees of yours in Hawai or elsewhere. The Maya bread nut especially is quite versatile according to its origin and that would be helpful to know the soil and climate of the "parents". Thanks

I was interested by the GRAPEFRUIT RUBY RED you propose, but I wander about the result from seed (thought only grafting would give the expected plant!). Am I right about fruits in 8 years from seed?
Actually, I am disgusted by the size and form of roots in pots, and I am tempted to sow more.
But we have the virus "tristesa" and also phytophtora, so is it tolerant/resistant?
I have something like 30 orange trees and already cut some that were drying. I am fed up with eating oranges and having no grapefruit !

Ross sapote flavor is better than jacana, which is more like lucuma, very dry texture. Jacana is much faster growing than ross sapote, more disease resistant, and a LOT more productive.

You can buy them now and the sapote de mico would be mailed as soon as available. Also by buying early it gets you listed up higher in the waiting list.

Yes i think Jim West offered Raimondia in the past. Suggest you get one of his old customers to buy it for you as Jim is not taking on new customers. I'm sure there are some on this forum that buy seeds from Jim that might help you out?

In October-December fruiting Duguetia furfuracea, - the most edible from this Genus. You will be selling these seeds?
I think it will sell well.
As well as Annona purpurea (Soncoya), Annona crassiflora (Marolo), Annona coriacea (Marolo-Liso) that all ripen in the spring-summer. Or do you avoid difficult germinated seeds?  :)

Alex, got some Duguetia fufuracea seeds from Helton, but they didn't germinate. Even if they did i wouldn't have fruits and seeds to offer for many years. These seeds are hard to source even in their native Brazil. Good news is that i have an 8 foot tall tree of D. lanceolata that i hope starts fruiting soon. When it does then i will offer seeds. Many annonas don't do well here and that is why i don't offer seeds for them. Also the quantity of species i'm offering right now keeps me more than busy.

Could have sworn you did. Anyway, since you don't have them, how do the purple and white compare to the red? I have heard it is very juicy, something I look for in a fruit (my favorite fruit is watermelon), but juicy is only good with a sweet, strong flavor.

All other seeds sprouted well, so it was not a mail problem, and I still wait that you send me a new packet of the "Ramon" seeds that arrived rotted. The fresh seeds should be available since August september if I believe the datas I have for this tree.

Thanks for thinking about me soon!

I will put pics of the seedlings, 100% success for glycosmis and very high for randia as well. Grumichama is coming out...
I did not do it before because I broke a computer, lost the chip card for pics and for a while I have to go to a cyber, and hopefully will have internet at home soon.

Yes marang and ross sapote MAY be available around same time. Every year is different so difficult to predict with any certainty. Best is to order now, that puts you on waiting list. Many of these seeds sell out, so sooner you order the better your chances. Then i send them as they become available to first people on the list.

No customs, so I figure I can get them back to Idaho(and my tropical greenhouse...) easily, as long as I can fit them in my carryon for the plane ride back home.

Thanks!

Hi Carolyn, suggest checking with your cruise ship company. I don't think they allow it. Also you will be checked by agriculture at the airport. Seeds are a lot easier. I'm about one hour's drive from Hilo.

Cheena is grafted, originally from PIN. Fruit in mid to late summer. Chempajek, not sure what you mean by that? Cheena is a chempajack, ie cross of chempadek and jackfruit.

Sorry for double posting. Have seeds now for very short time of Sapote de Mico, Pouteria torta subsp. gallifructa. It is a fruit that looks like a rambutan and tastes like an abiu. Extremely rare. Only mentioned in Pennington monograph on sapotacea. From highlands of Guatemala, so can take some cold weather. If interested please order from:

Couple of weeks no problem. But a lot depends on temperatures in transit. So best not to order during extreme heat or cold.

Getting ready right now to plant a bunch of different mangos... the new elite ones from Florida. But will be 1-2 years before start offering scions of those. Other fruits are added also as trees start to produce.

Those seeds are from seedling tree. Original seeds were given to me by a neighbor who told me that where he collected them, Santa Barbara, California, they produced fruits the size of softball, so extra large. But my tree produced regular sized fruits.

From the first seeds Oscar sent (two years ago?), only three germinated. I had three plants about the same size of Ricardos'. I planted one in ground with protection and left the other two in pots. At the end all died, I have no idea why. I ordered again seeds to give them another try ;)

Moved here in 1989, so started planting 25 years ago. Didn't plant everything at once, so have trees of varying ages, and still planting, and now starting to replace some old trees or non fruiting trees.

Hey Oscar...you moved to Hawaii the same year I purchased my property. 

I am not sure you posted anywhere else, but is the current lava flow heading towards Pahoa affecting or threatening you and your property? I had an e-mail from Alaska Mike advising that their access to town was cut off but otherwise they were unaffected so far other than poor air quality. What's your situation?

Hi Harry, yes there was a previous thread about this. I'm not at all affected so far, except that some nights there is smoke in the air from the forest burning. I don't know why Mike told you that? His access to town is not at all affected. His property is just a couple miles from me. But he doesn't live here full time. So maybe he is confused about what actually occured? The news has blown this totally out of proportion....as is usual for the media. Either that or you misunderstood him? The lava has not cut any roads, except for a very small country road going to transfer dump station, and county set  up dump somewhere else. There is a danger the lava could in the future cut the main road access to this area, but for last 3 weeks the flow is completely stalled and has not advanced. The government has opened up alternate detour roads already, just in case main highway is closed in future.

The rambutan scions are shipped as cutting, just like all other scions, sent in moistened vermiculite inside tightly wrapped zip lock bag. I've sent some rambutans and longans to Brazil that took close to a month and were still took.

Oscar,

Do you know how long the Lemba seeds remain viable for?   

I ordered some from someone else and so far none of them have germinated. I planted them indoors in a pot.   The weather where I live isn't very warm this time of year even though I am in Florida. 

I am going to plant my remaining seeds in some pots this summer when the temperatures are very hot. When the daily highs are above 90 degrees F. 

I think I might be having the same issue with Borojoa seeds.   

I have read they will remain dormant if the soil temperature isn't warm. 

I also plan to put them outside when its warmer. They are inside some plastic baggies with spaghnum moss.  ( the kind that is anti- damping off)

I don't know how long the lemba seeds remain viable for. They look like they would last long time if kept dry and cool. I would go for starting them on top of warming mat SAP. Maybe keep a few seeds in fridge as backups to try to start later if first batch don't germinate.

Have 2: Waimanalo Dwarf and Fairchild. They can sometimes fruit on their own, but it's much better to have 2 trees as some are trees can turn out just male.
These tropical apricot are giant tree Oscar at Mount Botanical Garden in west Palm, mine is doing well, so what height does the dwarf attain; hope I got the dwarf?

Waimanalo is not truly dwarf, but it does seem smaller than most trees. Mine is about 15 feet tall and over 20 years old.

Hi Coconut,

What is your opinion on the quality of mamey apple fruit ?.
. Absolutely delicious after a brining process to detox its fart attribute for me but stomache cramps to other from excessive fresh consumption.  Some varieties ratio of seed to flesh can be appalling.  Better varieties and preferably dwarf should have decent 30% flesh to seed ratio without the stringness.  This fruit need to be brought to Asia or the Middle East for better selection and improvement.  Unfortunately here in the Americas its potential are greatly misunderstood.  I like the apricot tartness that is quite pleasant for fresh eating, making liquor & ice cream in moderation like everything else.  The tree is quite hardy and can handle drought better than most of the transplant fruit tree species to Florida.  Personally I prefer this tropical apricot to over let us said african peach.  Wood are hard and durable for gunstock and does not attract lots of maintenance outside of watering them when young.  I think this is a great fruit tree for the arid zone, man the 50 footer at Mount Botanical Garden is a massive oak like tree that throw out an umbrella girth full of shade!  I think any of the landolphia lianas would be a perfect candidate for this companion planting. 😃

The only fruit that gets a lot of attention is mango. Don't get me wrong, I love mango and there's no doubt that it is a wonderful fruit but, there are many fruits that need to be selected. I highly doubt we will see that day especially in the Mideast.

I love apricot and If I mange to fruit mamey apple in here that will be a real jackpot in my book.

Thanks Coconut

I hear you, infact Mango give me rash just like its relative poison ivy, cashew nut tree and brazil pepper tree; over rated.  I am on a quest hunting down the best dwarf tropical apricot for growing in Israel & Sahelian Africa.  This tree is very resistant to Locust plaque and have a very deep tap root!  Very strong against huricane.  The best selection would be smaller stone and flesh most agreeble to everyone! Israeli pomologists are doing breeding work hopefully we see exciting things to come from them!😃

This PDF file might be helpful for your quest in searching for the best Tropical Apricot.

They have a long way to go!  Also the notion of growing them as an agricultural crop in Florida is a fart!  You will often find agriculture researchers clueless as to simple economics. Anyone stupid enough to grow this crop in South Florida should send all their money to me so I can invest for them in aquacultures & real estates!  The land in S. Florida are becoming a premium for growing McMansions not Mangosteens.  If a Mutual Fund complex can come in and beg me to sell my Land slate for Macupuno Coconut at half a mill per acre; I dont have high hope for the future of the Farming district here; we will become an urban jungle very soon like LA.  I blame those Dam Californians for selling their over inflated earthquake avocado plantation; come here plot down 8 mill for a house not on intercoastal, not even half finish. We got wealthy Chinese calling before the permit are approved!

Thats is why I beleive cheap land no freeze zone will be better for selection & breeding in Asia & Middle East. Africa it could double as a charcoal & fruit crop.  Anyway I have zero in Oscar selection as the best candidate for my personal use.  In time a champion of this fruit will be discover some where in South East Asia were people are more inclined to improve on fruits than else where on earth in the new millenium.  It is disgusting to see young people favorite fruit in Obese America is a manufactured gummy corn syrup, corn starch & corn Gelatin!  Lately I am hunting for darf variety of anything, I am starting to shrink with age so I need something within reach so Oscar's Dwarf appeal to me very much. It is growing very well at my friend house in Davie, florida.  The one at my house is Mt. Botanical which seem to be cold resistant even as seedling, fruit is skimpy in flesh but I just love the genetic.  I send some of the seeds I found to Israel five years ago from Mount Botanical Garden; the Israeli are noted for ag research for the desert so something will fruit from this endeavor!😄

Thanks Adam. I've added a lot of offerings to my seed page lately. It's been really hard to keep up with all the orders, especially now that spring has sprung. Maintaining a website is quite a chore. Often i'm up till very late making changes on that website. Somebody compared building a website to building a house, and its a very good analogy: the work is never finished. Always something needs to be repaired or remodeled or improved. I'd like to add growing information about all the new seed species added, but i just don't have the time right now. Maybe some day.

The HTML code looks pretty straight forward, simple, to the point  on your website Oscar. Can be a good thing since, its easier to fix something that broke on it, but a lot of people this day and age like pretty simplistic websites that scale easily on smart phones and tablets. The website does not work on my mobile phone (and most likely tablet).

Have you considered using wordpress or webflow template to make the website? (I know a lot of templates are cookie cutter, though a good portion can be modified adding a good unique look). Advantages would be can add some nice updated graphics, database, and mobile usability to the webpage). I would look into webflow, my friend has a website development and marking company (I believe he recommended webflow to me for diy website template).

Hi Nullzero, thanks for the recommendations. I know my website is not mobile friendly. And i have no plan to make it so in the future. Please if you want to surf it use a laptop or PC. You won't be able to see most of the photos very well on a 2 inch screen anyway. I have too much work as it is, at least for right now. If business goes dead at some point i will consider doing what you say. Right now i'm still a one person company, so there are limitations to how many things i can do.

A Giant Top of the line Purple Camieto with small seed is a Holy grail in my book, you should name it Oscar Purple Sapphire Camieto!  Maybe I need to have a master grafter graft some budwood in the short term so I can live long enough to write a review
About these luscious delight!😇

The giant purple starapples have smaller seeds than normal sized. The other interesting thing is that most of these giants only have 3 seeds inside. (Normal sized fruit usually have 6-8 seeds.) Maybe i will name them after you, just because you make me laugh! The only type of cigarettes i smoke are those candy types made for kids. HAHA

Oscar do you happen to sell these giant purple starapples to any buyers in Chinatown, Honolulu? I purchased a few baseball sized purple star apples there a few weeks ago that were almost totally purple (just a little green on top) and most of them only had 3 seeds, and one of the fruits only had 1 seed. Very sweet also and not a lot of latex in the peel.

Glad you got everything ok. I've been able to start the scleroderma seeds without GA3, but some people on the forum expressed theirs started better with it. So i suggest if you have it to use it.

being that you pretty much know all the stuff I already have...

do you have anything that you'd recommend for me to grow right now?

(either to plant out at my house for fruit, or to plant and resell as small seedlings for my nursery?)

you are really part of the foundation of my nursery...I got a bunch of pivotal plants from you!

Adam, I don't really know everything you have planted. Can just guess from your posts. If you would like to send me a lit off group i'd be glad to look it over.  I'm sure you have a lot more knowledge about what sells well in your area, but i'd be glad to give you some suggestions if i can.

Oscar, at this point just have eugenias, annonas, jabos, and garcinias....(mulberries, persimmons, black saps, white saps) campomanesia, loquat, and a few other random species that are somewhat common....

so anything other than these...

I'm basically looking for any suggestions from you....if you can think of anything that can handle about 25F (or close).

How about: Allspice, etrog, green sapote, kwai muk, lakoocha, dragon fruit, cold hardy ingas?
Given that you are skilled at grafting i think that doing cocktail trees would be profitable. Also you should continue to look for valuable seedling selections or cultivars and graft the lesser known fruits and sell improved cultivars, like i think you are doing already with cherry of rio grande, rollinia, and imbe. People really like trees that already have fruits hanging from them, or are going to fruit very soon. Americans are very impatient, don't want to wait for fruits. If you can sell established trees with fruits already on them you will do very well.
The great thing about doing plant sales is that you get lots of requests, can get a good pulse for what people are looking for, and you can tune into and focus on that in the beginning.
I think also it's very good to find a niche that nobody else is doing. You are already doing that with jaboticabas, and all their relatives. My guess is that as your business gets more established you can focus more on this specialization, or anything else that you really love to do. Success in business has a lot to do with how passionate you are about what you do. So in the end you have to focus on what you really like to work on.

Basically i think you are already doing all the right things. Just be  patient and know it takes a long time to build up a good clientele, just like with most other businesses. Do everything you can to develop your grafting skills. I think that will really help you a lot to succeed. I'm guessing soon you will be so busy you will have to hire employees to help you. Just don't let your work enslave you. Do other things that you enjoy doing, and remember to take days off and even some vacations. A very big threat in this business is total burnout!

Good advice Oscar

To be honest I can barely keep up with demand!

im not hurting for business at all!  This year has been amazing so far.

The sad thing is, I don't see a vacation in my future for the next 5-10 yrs

And have no intentions of hiring any employees (to put on payroll), but definitely need to hire some help!!

good suggestions!

Oscar,

being that you pretty much know all the stuff I already have...

do you have anything that you'd recommend for me to grow right now?

(either to plant out at my house for fruit, or to plant and resell as small seedlings for my nursery?)

you are really part of the foundation of my nursery...I got a bunch of pivotal plants from you!

Adam,
I have never seen you taking about annona neosericea. All I know about this species it taste good.

Oscar, what's your opinion about this fruit ?.

The giant purple starapples have smaller seeds than normal sized. The other interesting thing is that most of these giants only have 3 seeds inside. (Normal sized fruit usually have 6-8 seeds.) Maybe i will name them after you, just because you make me laugh! The only type of cigarettes i smoke are those candy types made for kids. HAHA

Could you please comment on ultimate tree size of your giant purple starapple strain?  What planting distance would you recommend? Thank you!

They are standard size, which means the trees get pretty large. Mine are about 40 feet tall, but they should have been pruned much shorter to keep fruits at reachable level. I suggest minimum planting distance 25 feet. You could plant a bit closer if you plan to regularly prune the trees.

hey Oscar. 

Sorry, haven't had a chance to place my order for the other seeds, but the other day noticed you put on for sale Raimondia conica.  I tried to search the forum, but couldn't find any comments/insight on taste, growth habit, growing conditions etc.  Can you comment on your experience and opinion of its taste?

Mahalo!

Best to pre-order a couple months ahead of the season because i have a waiting list. The sooner you order the higher up on the waiting list.

Hi,

I have this species, I collected it in the Amazon last year, is this the  sapote de mico?

In the region, they are said to be a variety of Pouetria Torta.

It is delicious, very good flavor.

Obs: I am not offering the seeds for sale, I just want to confirm if it is the same fruit asked and named after Pouteria Torta Galifructa.
