The Tropical Fruit Forum

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I am waiting for the last Vino Tinto fruit to ripen up. I'll get caught up with messages ASAP.

Hey Josh -
Just wondering if the update applies to your Pitomba seeds as well - still have a few leftovers?
LMK.

Thanks!

Nothing right now. There are a few small seedless fruit here and there and a bunch of immature and even some flowers. Hopefully some seeded stuff pops up.

Any idea on the number of vendors and variety expected?  Last show I attended was 2017 and 2018 and was great selection and attendance.

I'm not sure. I don't know if the vendor list is on the Facebook page or not. There should be around 20 but I am out of the loop since I am no longer an officer in the club.

Here is a nice picture of the fruit from my friends at Sulcata Grove. I was unable to get a proper taste from my tree unfortunately but I was able to recover some seeds.

Pm sent. In case you don't get it, I'll take 10.

I replied. Hopefully everything is going through just fine. Thanks.

I have fruited this tree that came from Adam. The owner of the farm I work at thought it was a seedling tree and I couldn't see any graft union after inspecting the tree after it has matured. I had previously sold scions as 'SSVTS' thinking it was a seedling but I am not sure anymore after reading this thread. Maybe it was a seedling from when Adam fruited it or perhaps it was a grafted tree from him. Here are some pictures of the fruit. It had mild grit and a decent sweetness. The leaves are unique and look like a mix between reticulata and squamosa but has a ripening period of reticulata. The fruit have these distinct protuberances that aren't typical for reticulata. I have only eaten a handful of different reticulata so I don't have the experience to properly judge it but it was pretty good. I am putting the seeds in the sale section now if anyone is interested.

Maybe if Adam sees this he can recall if he sold any seedling trees. I think he bought it at the Manatee sale 7 or 8 years ago.

I hope you feel 100% soon. Raul is a legend. His ilama hunting trip where he was dodging cartel was pretty crazy as well.

I have some more fresh seed coming in now. I really love this Eugenia.

Josh put Guillermo's seeds in giberic acid for over 48 hours and then put them in a ziplot bag with moist coconut fiber and within 2 weeks they started to germinate.

Very nice. I am going to make some ga3 this week. Thanks!

I ate one fruit from a 15 gal potted plant. I was small size, excellent flavor and has a pointy shape. I think I have a graft flowering on an inground tree so hopefully I can get some more experience.

Not my photo. Matt Snow of the Matt's Giant took it.
