I've got American persimmon seeds available. Should make really hardy rootstock. American persimmon is a tough plant that grows in some bad soil no problem.

Pineapple guava are pretty tasty. If you haven't tried them definitely give them a go. Hopefully I'll get fruit on mine this year. I finally got them in the ground so I would think so. The large local bush I harvested from got chopped down this year. What a shame! Was a cultivar worthy of naming if it wasn't already a named cultivar. I don't know if it was since it was along a roadside on the edge of a property of people I've never met. Apparently they didn't want it or didn't know what it was.

How hardy is this tree? It looks a lot like a doyvalis species but I'm likely wrong and didn't see any scientific name in your post. Do you have a minimum temp rating for it?

Thanks!

Thanks! I've tried rooting che before but failed. Pushed good growth and I thought I had it but no...anyways will try again. Let me know when you're ready.

I'd be interested in buying some saijo persimmon cuttings from you. I still have the possibility of freezes for another 1-2 months but probably won't be much below 30F if that. Figure I could try grafting my trees now. Or is waiting a month better?

Anyone have any of these sunquat seeds or small plants?

No need to buy boxes. I usually pick them up at stores especially stores like dollar general where all their boxes are conveniently in little carts next to their dumpster area. In most cases depending on weight(up to a few pounds) shipping priority mail package in your own boxes with dimensions no longer than 22 inches and wider and or talIer than about 10 inches is cheaper than flat rate by a few dollars. If the package is exceedingly heavier than 5-6lbs flat rate might be cheaper also depending on where the package is going too. There's so much packaging waste from boxes to bubble wrap/newspapers etc is a shame anyone buys boxes and packing materials at all.

Do you think that the true cherries could possibly graft onto chickasaw plum? I've grafted improved plums, apriums, and pluots to it before with success. Also hear peach and nectarines can graft onto it as well. Cherries are a prunus so maybe it would work too. Unfortunately the large chickasaw plum tree I had grafted like 7 different varieties of improved species onto died from long standing water the following season. My back yard is low and after hurricane Michael knocked all the large trees down water stands forever back there. Three summers back we got 90+" of rain that year and had standing water for 3 months straight. Killed the giant plum tree and half my large blueberry row. So disappointing...but now I've got a new plum in the front yard. Gonna graft the heck outta it with good varieties.

I might want to buy some of these seeds before next spring. They are pretty hardy growers right? Kinda like a Seminole pumpkin.

Some cool looking varieties for sure. Want some extra cash to come along so I can pick some up from you.

It’s. Damn shame when this is getting rolled out when billionaires and corporations still have every loop hole imaginable

The poor will foot the bill for all of the societal programs and expenses so the rich won't be bothered by those pesky taxes. God forbid they pay their (un)fair share like the rest of us struggling to make a living. We are extorted of our time and energies for the greater good though right?

Yes a believe the one woman that had a nursery for all the native types is no longer in business. Tried contacting her a few times with no reply.

They will here at least if in a microclimate conditions such as up against the porch on the south side of the house or under other dense perennials. However you likely get colder and it's sustained longer.
