Dawn soap and water, suffocates them

Is this hog plum cutting really flowering already? If it is, should I remove it and let the energy go into the other vegetative growth that’s pushing? Thanks

The weather doesn’t really fluctuate too much between those months (at least in Cali) so I think either way would be fine as long as they ship before March

Merry Christmas...Looking to graft some pleasant tasting Pitangatuba branches onto my tree. Please let me know if you have anything. Open to purchasing and or trading. Thanks!

I put wayyyy too much Hollytone on my red hybrid this summer and it shed all its leaves, then put on the most amazing flowering display all over the branches I’ve ever seen, and then all the flowers fell off. My leaves still haven’t grown back but the branches always stayed green and now there’s tiny new buds forming. After realizing I put too much fert I drenched it trying to leach out any excess fert that was in there. Not sure if it helped or not but the tree is starting to bounce back. Good luck!

Get ready to start watching some paint dry and water boil...these things grow slowwww in the sub-tropics. I would recommend Luc’s for cold hardiness and easiness to grow. The only fruit I’ve eaten out of the Garcinia’s is Purple Mangosteen and Achacha. They were both really tasty with Achacha having a floral thing going on (like in some lychees) and purple mangosteen having a nice mellow citrusy flavor without the tart...Good luck in your search, I have some extra seedlings of seashore mangosteens in 1 gallons, and maybe a couple of other Garcinia’s laying around...if interested lemme know

Nate, I am so sorry. I just found your email in my junk folder. If you still like to place an order,
I can add it for you in the list.

Hi Bill, thanks for the reply, and no worries! I’ve jumped on with another forum members order who I live near to make life a little easier for you Thanks a bunch for putting this together!

Thanks Kaz! These are the potatoes I gave you cuttings of, I hope they are growing well for you 

Hey Kaz, FYI I got some peluche scions from achetadomestica in February that already have small fruits 😃 Not sure where his are from though.

I have grafted Cheena Chempejack and it has been smaller than any Jackfruits I have. Very easy to open and productive.

How does the taste compare with the best Jackfruit you’ve ever had? When you say easy to open does that mean it has little latex? Thanks

Haha! Ah c’mon Kevin you got all kinds of cool stuff I’d like to get my hands on 😉

Simon did you get the trees from the group order sexed as well?
