Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Anonidium mannii guess
« on: July 12, 2016, 10:31:44 AM »
Hi to all experts, this is not an easy question since the specie is quite uncommon. Please take a look to the attached picture: this is one of 10 Anonidium mannii I have, all of them are in the same condition, I'm sure the plants are alive but I still don't know why they started drying from the top leaving the base in a sort of pause...



The question is: is there anybody who has a good idea to help resprout again this botanical rarity? Any suggestion also on ho to preserve the leaves in the future?

Many thanks in advance to all of you,

Giampaolo


Don't throw that away, replant it in a wine barrel or a fifty gallon if you dont have a giant greenhouse with a 20 feet clearance at minimum.  Be very careful as it has deep tap root; its culture is very similiar to kepel.  Be patient as it often send up the first shoot and it died, it will send a second.. Taking to two years.   Optimal would be a deep 36 inch pot for bonsai.  Rich organic soil they thrive and give better cold resistant here in S. florida were hell does freeze over. The plant has evoled to take a lot of wildlife abuses and spend all its energy growing big at the bottom like an iceberg.  In Zaire I recalled juvenile elephants would rip them and eat the leaves or play with and the plant would rejuvenate after the beast migrate on during the dry season.  Its a second canopy tree as I recall and pymies make a medecine from roots. Make sure that the soil should have good drainage since they are not a big fan of wet feet.  Lets hope you have the sweet variety not the bitter rancid variety that the elephant enjoy and commonly sold among the seed trade!  Some plant are just not a good Bonsai candidate!😭

I think this this would be a stronger graft for Hurricane prone area, God know how many I have lost over the years with the super rare tropical stuff.  Well hopefully I will get some junglesop wood next year and graft them to my cold resistance junglesop that survived 2010 freeze ( not to many six out of 200 seedlings)! Thankyou for sharing this Indian techniques; junglesop suffered horrendously from frequently repoting and transplanting for me.

By planting them in ground from start a notoriously slug grower, easy to graft the Kerala style and not worry about the big bad wolf Hurricain!  Keep up the good work on your island!👍🐌🐌🐌🏝

Pm send Mexica Hill grape, sound like a hillbilly grape to me! Grow in costal lowland or the highland Raul?

Ok the average daily temperature have swung north of 85 degree and night time have been a Sauna sweat at 80 degrees for the last two months or so have produced a bumper crop of the most sweetest fruit ever in three years of fruiting the Whitman Fiberless Super Sweet Soursop in SE Florida and setting more flowers for the Hurricane Season.

I was at a party in Wellington Aeroclub and the jet set crowd went crazy on the fable sweet fruits after a buddha enlightenment.  I have to say this year summer fruits are the most diabetic tasting of any fruit produced in any season so far due to this sweat heat wave hiting my area; sweet honey the summer fruit taste compare to the uninspiring sour sweet tart of the winter fruit, spring fruit and fall fruit.











One of the unassuming gentleman from China was quietly stalking me for a taste of the fruit and I gave him a small piece from one of only a half dozen fruits harvested for this Polo Club crowd of Champagne and Caviars apparition not of the Fruit Snob apparition characterized of this TFF fourum.

After this epicurean Buddha ask for the whole fruit did the uppercrust crowd looted my table and clean out no latex snob jack and Honey Whitman Fiberless Sweet Soursop. The Persian Caviars and escargot du bourgonne barely make haste because they were like chicken, too common and my Whitman Fiberless Honey soursop found many converts that night abide a little bit rationing.  From now on my Redneck Social standing in this well heel Anglo-saxon crowd has risen: for the brief fame for bringing a fruit that many epicurists there can only described as a cross between a vine ripen pineapple( and yes for the trolls of this thread, pineapples are bromeliads--vine ripen sound better for the literacy crowd including this Redneck), mangosteen and banana reaffirmed this old fart that he has not been hallucinating this past three years of fruiting this Fable fruit that should be reclassify by itself.  Make no mistake even the out of summer fruits, aka winter, spring and fall fruits here in south Florida is superior to any fiberless soursop of its kind out there as far as I know.

The Fella from Northern China told me agricultural land here in South Florida is dirt cheap which signifies that he is a Whale, my seven years on Wallstreet at Morgan Stanley has taught me a lot about Whale language.  I politely inquire why he was so touch by the Fable Whitman Fiberless Honey Sweet Soursop and he told me he is a humble man that has done well in Chemistry ( Ok he owned one of the largest Agricultural PetroChemical Concern in China & sell his products globally so we are talking to a Billionaire many time over) and want try owning a winery but he doesn't drink. He ask me do I sell the fruits and can I supply him 5,000 Metric ton a year?

I was aghast and taken back. So I pull up my posting on TFF for him to read my thread.  After twenty minutes he still chased me down and ask to buy all my seeds and invited me to visit him in Gautamala and Costa Rica and be his pay consultant.  So for those of you looking for Whitman Fiberless Honey Sweetsop Soursop seeds from me your luck just ran out.  Hey don't cry you can buy scions from Oscar at fruit lovers.com and he frequent here and you can pm him for scions so you can graft or have some forum grafting gurus do it for you; or go to the Broward Rarefruit council 208 sale they have twice a year where I got my for $10.00 bucks I think  several moons ago read my thread, I am senile now and dont recall the exact date but they had a dozen for sale and they advertised it as the Whitman Fruitless Fiberless Soursop for collector only (mean its unfruitful); read my thread backward several time and you will get your to be an everbearing fruit like me.  Just realize the best honey fiberless fruit that melt in your mouth can only achieve with temperatures high above 80 at night and above 85 during day with high humidity!  A summer fruit would put any world class annona to shame! 

I have some seeds and seedlings floating around, many of them should be producing next year so those forum members can make them available.  As of right now I just sold my Whitman Fiberless Sweetsop Soursop soul to this gentleman not of the Taitung Annona Mafias's Syndicate.  It has guarantee that the Whitman Honey Fiberless Sweet soursop will get the necessary funding and ambition for its development.  He told me the China market is giantnormous for this kind of epicurean delight and help him feed one Billionares at a time in Modern China!🤗🤑💸🐌🐌🐌. And shit I have just retired and wanting to own a foi gras farm!💩😭🎣☹️🦃

Making this post on request of kh0110 in another thread. This is technique I was taught in India earlier this year. First video is how to remove bud. When you remove actual bud from the wood behind, one should be able to hear barely audible clicking sound at the moment of separation. I did not want to upload conversation, so excuse me for cheesy music I put on top.

! No longer available

I did not make other videos or pictures of the process, so following videos is what I found on the internet. How to make an empty patch to place a bud on top. The people in the videos are a bit slow, but experienced grafter does it with amazing speed. From taking bud out, to finishing entire process process with tape under one minute.

! No longer available

! No longer available


Finished "product" should look something like this. For some reason I was told no parts of bud wood, should touch cambium of the seedling. Tape should be removed after 40 days. Once growth has been pushed from the side, leaves emerged and hardened, one should top off old leader to allow this bud sprout to become new trunk of the tree. The same technique can be used on nearly all species, especially on hard to graft species like rambutan and pulasan.



Very nice, will try this on Luc's Mexican Mangosteen!

I always thought they were just local synonyms of the same thing. Macapuno in the Philippines and Kopyor in Indonesia.

In Vietnam just 25 mile into the Delta are plantation of Sap coconut, In Malaysia the same thing, in Thailand on a large Island and Myramar the same thing as in Indonesia but label something else to hide its shady past. All the Macapuno pan SouthEast Asia grown by the Taitung Annona Mafias tasted exactly the same to me and grown from local selective stocks which trace their mysterious shady origin back to those group of Islands that The Chinese is trying to seize currently with their build up Navy (its not Formosa).   All the Chinese has to do is line up 1.3 billions plus of their citizens in Hainan and pissed into the South China Sea and you will see million of Macupuno coconut floating over to China now that the Phillipines Islands are drown; I am sure the Chinese will call it something like this: Buddha Belly Coconut it taste better than Macupuno!😆 All the Pinoys are drown so who to say the Kampuchean Pol Pot Coconut is any better? Nuts!!😡🏝

A Friend from the Philipine Coconut Authority told me before World War I, many Laguna mutated nuts were pirate out of country across the South China Seas to exploite a Pinoy national treasure!👑💍  I am growing the Original Laguna Coconut Mutation aka first Grandpa Pinoy or Adam tree. Every other embryo rescue trees later the plant snobs call it true macupuno!  So if you selling this mutation coconut what is it?  Nuts from embryo rescue tree several generation removed or the Adam tree?

DurianLover, would you care to share this jackfruit grafting secret (in one of the grafting posts)?

Sure. I have video somewhere. I'll upload once I get back to more civilized world with faster internet. Actually it's budding technically.
I want to learn another method they use in another part of South India where they graft on just weeks old seedlings. That suppose to be even more bullet proof with nearly 100% take.

Let us know what you find in Peru.  The No Latexes Jack Line, I will soon have two best of class distinctive fruit ecotypes ripening in synch this summer and fall, Parkland Orange Snob is the smooth ray skin ( like the handle covering the tang on a Samurai sword) and the Boca Orange snob is the spiney Spunik sharp sharkskin.  You can takes the seeds and it will flowers in 18 months but you must not let it set fruit or it will stunt the seedling and degradation  set in.  If you wait till third years it will be 20 feet than let fruit set.  Commercial production kick into gear fourth year.  If you graft it, will take you three years anyway.  Yeah I want to see the bullet proof grafting video for jack too😄!  Wife threatening me to move out of this Jewish redneck neighboorhood and into Jewish Beverly Hill Royal Palm Boca Raton, so I might have to start grafting all the mother trees of breeding.  My junglesop of eight years I might dig it up or just graft to my younger junglesop in 50 Gallon barrel to be safe, junglesop dont like tranplanting when they are old and senile like me!😭 So yes please show us the kickass grafting video!

Thank God I have Nullzero, If an Asteroid hit my house and wipe everything out; I guess I can sell the rocks and buy back my genetic land fill from Stephen!💸👍🏻

Thera, Nullzero will bring back the Parkland no latex Orange Snob so remind me to give Stephen.  The Orange Snob seedling delivered to you last year and this spring is the Boca No latex Orange snob which has the distinctive spiney Spunik sharkskin fruit. So you will have two distinctive No Latex Boca Orange snob ecotypes that will 90% chance of producing like its parent trees here in West Palm Beach and Broward county.  Parkland is 10 minutes from my house from which Nullzero saw last year the Jack proving ground for this cultivar.  Parkland is dryer, poorer soil than Boca Raton . Basically Jackfruit are grown on coquina bedrock punctuated by mini sink holes!😬🏝.

Wow just when I complained so much just like all my Jewish Neighboors in the hood, the dam tree listen to my rantings!  The huge rain  flood in my backyard for the last week or so and the Swedish Sauna heat that inagurated in commencement of our Hurricaine season; I was outside today Preparing for Hurricanes before I leave in Late August for storming Florida for a President candidate!

As I move a high end slightly Victorian Era rusty redneck ornament (a spend Weber grill) sitting under my firm flesh rollinia chelating its iron since Hurricain Wilma in 2006 next to our Fable Whitman Fiberless, a mysterious overipen plop onto the paver in front of me, a Whitman Fiberless soursop.  How in creation did I miscounted a dirty dozen fruit on tree. How did I miscounted it.






I didnt think it would ripe soo soon since my last post.  So I tear apart the gravity challenged brown fruit and stuff my face with Manna Bread from Heaven! The fruit orgy was sadly misguided as the noted flesh were sweet and delectable relic like past summer heat fruit with flavor of mangosteen and pineapple and banana, but this time a slightly bitter high quality limburger taste almost impossible to wrap  my mind around, until I look down on the fruit and saw some rats or mouse dropping on the fruit see second foto at top next to seeds!  Oh got I have written some of the most shittiest posts here in the past but this literary have taken the icing of the cake!😝 💩 I am going to cry!🤒😭
I ran inside an down almost a whole bottle of Remy Martin; the all purpose Native American Medicine only this Shaman know its magical Bureau of Indian affairs elixir!




Now as most grower of soursop know, when they ripening it is like a stampede of Bisons falling down the cliff; so I was lazy to haul over my ten foot ladder due to being under the Influence of Remy Martin XO!🤕

Like a Ninja, I leap onto the seven feet wall  next to my Whitman fiberless small seed strain seedling using the sapling as a leverage to launch this bushido into notoriety!   

The Whitman Fiberless tree was next to the concrete bunker wall and I scale the 30 feet fruit pyramid to the top and feel which fruit was soft at the top;

As My Remy Martin XO gave me super human strength so did its  evil isomer gave me delusion as I reach the top and grab a fruit that is soft but the stem wont give break easily and the tree top pendulum me between Heaven or Hell.

I hung on for dear life for those four second I think as my life brought me full circle, to war in combat time; my time on Earth seem to slow down in three second that seem to feel a lifetime.  I was content with brush of death for the seven time but I did not feel the hand of my partner the Grim Reaper next to me as the tree pendulum me closer to terra incognita as my Remy Martin XO blood vessels wont release my hand hold from the tree top.   At the gate of Hell I felt a rumbling force within me as I pendulum back and you can hear the fart heard around the world propelling me with providence toward the wall and one greedy hand with the fruit while the other hand the neighbor gutter behind the tree. 

At this time I want to pause and thank those UFO Aliens👽👽👽👽that blind my tent with their flying saucer in the Boundary Canoe Area of Minnesota and gave this college student an unmentionable probe that lead to my excessive flatulence year later, may the fart be with you.




When I wokeup from my abbreviated intoxication, went over to Frank and Diana with the perfectly ripen fruit later in the afternoon and as you can see!  Diana told Frank to kill her Cuban Fiberless ( the last bottom foto fruit)!and replace it with  Whitman Fiberless tree. Frank woof his down and offer me his cuban fiberless but I declined after years of eating caviar, the Cuban fiberless taste like paddlefish egg and Whitman Fiberless Sweet soursop a class on its own; Almas Persian Caviar!




















The Moral to this story is this, life is full of shit, its what you make of it that blossom and fruit! Dont Drink And Climb TREE even if you are a Shinobi Sensei!

Hello Jack! Nice to see you back since......forever?? :)
Earlier this year I had a chance to taste Macapuno in Philippines, and it's the fruit worthy of all the hype. (
http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=18934.msg235894#msg235894 ).  Sometime in near future I'd like to start propagating it on "my" island. Have not had chance to learn learn all the aspects of embryo culture propagation. But, if you'll set up a lab for your babies, I'd like to come begging, eager to learn the art from Mr. Sensei himself.  :)

Thankyou, yes nice to be back and spice things up here at TFF, Like Donald Trump said "....its kind of boring here'd..."
I have the No Latex seeds for you if you wanted them, were the Indians able to graft the special Parkland Snob no latex scions I gave you last year, my recent post on it has the comparison of the two skin types ( shark skin and ray skin no latex Boca Snob Jack lines. So you buying an Island, congratulation?  Yeah the wife thinking about buying one down in Panana and setup offshore banking on the island so Vladimir Putin and Cronies, Bill & Hillary Clinton, the entire Communist China Party can stash their ill gotten gain at my Panamian Paradise Island Bank PPIB.🤑 I hear Kickstart!😝

When is The Indiana Jones of Tropical Fruit next foray into the lost White Monkey Cities of Peru to get me that fable all gold seeds cacao bean?🙏🏾😇

Yes when I finally get the Macupuno ripe you be one of the first non Palm collector to get one and not on the VIP waiting list!  If you like passion fruit I have a one lbs size purple passionfruit that I have been selected breed for 24 years that you can take over and select it for sweetness on your Private Island ( my frickin Nazi HOA is complaining I am growing weeds to the authorities; Boca Finest show up and was pissed it was not Marijuana but my Kudzu Passionfruit.  My Jewish lawyer sued HOA the Cops on my behalf ( yeah my wife said its weedy I can't wait for the Zombies Apocalypse so I can shoot my neighbors; in meantime a small settlement take the bite of the Anger!   😡💀👻🔫☠ A private island sound good just about now!💸🏝

Hey by any chance you are close to those headhunters island unfriendly tribe and want no contact with civilization?  Hope plenty of good Scuba Diving off your Island in the Indian Ocean; just hope you high enough from the rise of Ocean water do to climate change.😄👍👍👍

I, like you, was determined not lose my mangos this year to the squirrels.  last year I went with the pellet gun with mixed success(you can't be out there every second they are). This year I got the catch and release traps from tractor supply(don't waste your money with the ones from harbour freight).  Now after 1week and 29 squirrels later I think I am squirrel free and the local park has a bigger squirrel attraction for the people who love to feed squirrels!

I love to feed on squirrels too, so where is this park that you free these Redneck KFC candidates???🐿🐿🐿Next time I am in Melbourne for crabbing and fly fishing for Bull Redfish in the Mosquitos Lagoon; I will mention that you send me!😇

« on: June 12, 2016, 11:01:06 PM »
I tried several times with no lucks to germinate the seeds!

Italian shit meatballs for hard to germinate Apocynaceae, if you cant find them available at your favorite local store visit a local zoo and get a year supply of Elephant or rhino dung or any ruminant beast of burden (one bucket)💩💩🐘🐃🐄🐂🐫[Lion Safari in West Palm is my hood] roll into ping pong size meatballs; stuff the Saba/Landolphia seed into fragrance balls and coated with stale Japanese panko breading and than place in allevial or loam sand, keep moist but not damp.  Do not overwater, they need rest during winter months in Native Homeland but in Florida they are an evergreen viny bush.  The Saba/ Landolphia is the easiest to grow while its kissing Willughbeias cousins are the most fussy in South Florida.  Young Sab/Landolphia seedlings does well in full or shade while young willughbeia  need to be in partial shade.

Future that fruit color got a nice curb appeal but unfortunately the seeds flesh ratio and taste described  doesn't merit to my Apocynaceae Breeding Program.  Perhaps observation merit its salinity tolerance and cold since you are in Bermuda and fruits might augmented a different characteristics than in Africa I am finding out with my breeding here in South Florida. This one kind of remind me of Luc vine fruit across the river from his house he wont swim over to get for me because of Bull Sharks!🐋😃

Fantastic post I have the largest Saba/Landolphia collection of the top and was hoping your colorful jewel would be a desirable candidate but as you know breeding is all about taste over curb appeals.  Find us some more different ecotype from your source and you will have a good Future!😄.🙏🏾👍👍👍

Just chiming with what raimeiken has said, there might be some adaptability with this coconut in the desert - especially my sandy AND salty soil
out here in Palm Springs, CA, seeing as we were once an ocean here.  I've got all the heat elements of which your refer in the spring summer and fall
and I'm wondering if I was to plant it next to my pond what added benefit that humidity would give it........I tried growing a cheap ass Home Depot coconut
once and it died of the cold over winter but I did not plant it in this better spot near my pond. This Macupuno you've developed would have less of that issue....
anyway interesting to ponder.....

And by the way, Coconut, I think it is a tremendous thing you are doing and many people will thank you for it some day!!!!!

Gary

Gary I am doing this for myself; you see I am a black op veteran with 68 confirmed classified kills.  As the year peel by I am haunted by spectral nightmares every nite, my wife and I have separated bedroom for a quarter century now.  Crossing and breeding aquaponic life forms and uncommon tropical fruits, medecine plants and flowers has help me turn off the light switches when I came home from Wars and like a good soldier fade away.  I am no expert on anything and will never be so; just a living grim reaper of the plant world helping along something good to eat. If I Have spare down the road everyone is welcome to kill a Macupuno to find an American line!

Christopher Rollinias, the cormer furator of Spoot 'n' Fryce, said the Tosh Pay, was tasty, but had a Rick Thind, and was Sull 'o' Feeds....and of course the smoot was frall.

you are correct in your assumption that the pree is not troductive.

Thanks for the cryptic messages, when NSA Agents come asking for my assistance, I will be sure to put you on my short list as a diversion linguistician! You be surprise how uncreative cryptographers we have can be!👍👍👍😆😆😆

Oscar I am so thrill to death that your variety will set fruit by itself although inefficient like the Whitman fiberless.  I am starting think as these tree get older then they  will be more fertile???👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Yeah a stay of execution for now, they better finished flowering by mid August cause I am on the Political junket season for the Next President of the United States; hopefully I will be appointed head of USDA or NSA so I will allow y'all to import whatever invasive to make free food for all Rednecks?🤔🙄😳🤓🤑😜😝

Yeah we Native Choctaws are invasive( They snuck in the Chinese Exclusion Act in the 1880 and quietly tried to Shanghaied My Great Great Great grandpa from our ancestral home; Triple great grand pa was visting San Francisco as Gold Miner when he was Shanghaied to China escaped and eventually made it to the French Indochina and Mexico to finally get home (that they couldn't drag to Oklahoma Reservation , The US government have even try to eradicate us Native Indian over Indian from India, like Giant African Snail That ate Miami Expensive Coral Gables neighborhood  until after World War 1 when they decide to give all Native Americans & Eskimo(Tundra Aliens) US Citizenship after they discovered we were bad asses on the battlefield like my Grandpa Stinkin Horse; we served honorably by killing a lot more extra jumbo of White people in Europe.  Hollywood later made a movie about it which I was proud of as compare to John Wayne playing the Great Mongol Genghis Khan which still wrangling in my head as immorally wrong like OBFC restaurant in China(it stand for Obama fried Chicken knockoff of KFC) kid you not!

The US Government were so impressed with us Native Americans scalping Evil White European So they start another World War again, called WWII so reader of this thread wont be obtuse confused with WWI.😖Even In World War Two we kill even more White people in Europe and became one of the most decorated military unit in US history even thought we been here forage and fornication for at least 100,000 Years according to Mainstream White Scientists.  They even blatantly spread rumors that we are related to the Chinese😡(We are not👿We are related to👽👽)!  If you ask all the fellatio expert White Squaws COED in College where I am an alumni, they would tell you 100% WE NATIVE Americans  are not Chinese--because we got bigger dick just like Black; so I rest my case we could be invasive in college dorms!🤐👻

Yeah Swamping Lightning (my Choctaw Name) would make a great Historian my Granpa Stinkin Horse always said someday before he fart away and hand over his War Metal for brave service in WII and his Father Stealth Panther in WW1!🐴💩💩☠↩️

« on: June 10, 2016, 02:18:49 AM »
I have one in Bermuda thanks to Coconut. No flowers just yet but this post looks promising.  If there is a strain b, for sure I would host it.

Mike T send Rock Selection to a bunch of people last year or year before or so I am told and it was a flop (they did not germinate well); I was told by many people who received it.  Than he  resend some out again that was better I guess cause Raul in Mexico send me some with a rare strain late season bearing variety of Mexican Mangosteen last year; Raul is the man.  For shit and giggles I threw in a pot with the MikeT (Rock seeds I presumed) and I called it strain A for the purpose of this thread.  You can buy Aaa and BBB grade fruits all over Taiwan, Southern China, Vietnam when they are in season and call whatever strains you like for the purposes of your own breeding management. 

The Taitung Annona Mafias's whom have around 3,000 hectares in Big Eyes and Buddha Belly on Formosa send me their best 1,000 seeds about three years ago from selections from Grade AAA fruits sold exclusively to the Japanese and Northern China high end market which for the purpose of this Thread Strain B for the 1,000 seeds; these Strain B for the purposes of this Thread however came from their private 1,000 hectares reserve in Hainan, China.

These seeds from The Taiwanese Annona Mafias Syndicate I field trial in west Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, Choctawhatchee, The Fruity Acres Areas on 150 acres not far from a Nudists colony!😝  Also field trial at my aquaponic farm in Clewiston and in Parkland as Well as the Taitung Billionares homes in Malapan, Jupiter Island, Fisher Island and Singer Island.  And of course at thirty friends' homes in Boca Raton. I hadn't had a chance to run up to their castles to check on trees planted three years ago. 

Many of you have not heard from me cause I have been so bog down with volunteering for a national political candidate and finish building my Six Intercoastal Mansions in Boca Raton & Las Olas and putting them on the Market as fast as I can before the real estate market here burst.  Wife Just landed in Hong Kong Now and she is spending a month snapping up the real estate bubble burst in Hong Kong.  So I have been derelict in my fancy Sith breeding hobbies and it was by chance that I stop over Frank's place and saw that little twig with nine ping pong fruits developing nicely, normally I would strip them off on a three feet tree, but hey this is Frank's castle he can do whatever he dam please with my plants as long as he gives me the stastical abstracts.

Here is what I have noticed so far, South Florida weather here give the Big Eyes SA apple a black eye hard time. The seeds are 95% viable even after 3 years sitting in my gun safe with highly toxic sniper rounds, depleted uranium. 1,000 seeds end with 753 sickly looking seedlings with various year class, I had my nephew germinated three tranches a year for last three years but he will be starting Yale this fall so I have to promote some one to start culling the trial.  If you have received seeds from me or seedlings, than it would be Strain B 100 seedlings I gave out for field testing other than my own and some seeds went to Senegal and other part of Africa.

The pot of Strain A  I will send some to Thera and a few serious breeders in Houston and New Orlean as well to Choctaw Elders of my Tribe in the Panhandle.  We hopefully can see a selection for the southeast.  My favorite Ice cream from Formosa is Big Eye SA, its so nice and creamy on the Taitung Yacht almost rival Macupuno Ice Cream.

I have trouble growing it on rich black high organic coquina soil.  But seem to thrives in sandy nutrient poor soil were Frank is closer to the beach.  So high and dry it seem to like.  Heavily attack by white scales and its the most ugliest unhealthy looking Sugar Apple in my breeding collections.

Nice to see five seedlings are heavy bearings self-fertile for their age and twig diameter.  Compare Big Eyes to Boca Giant Chewy Sugar Apple Lines, I would rate Big Eyes as the Bonsai type were any of my bred SA are super giant forty feet plus if you let em go wild.  Now don't get excited about the size of the tree, it's how many grade AAA fruit can it produces per hectare for the High End Manchurian/Joseon Market and as always the Japanese Market.  So we will keep an eye on the start of the culling trials.  I hope to kill perhaps all 753 tree in 18 months with ten trees left as the based to developed the Black Eye SA; A decade from now we should see some improvements and forget the last three years even occur.😝

Thank JF I will fly out to Visit My Wife Cousin in Walnut California to help those kids with planting advices. Last time in LA was in 1986 And the SMOG kill me😷.  Those are very nice looking Atemoya/Atis, in a Zombie Apocalypse I know now all the best spot in LA to pick fruits👍🏻🙏🏾!  Shit Now Looking at my Larue OBR stand is another envelope of seeds; I wonder who did I forget to send?💩

It was flooding in my backyard today and couple Dusk Herons were hell bend on nailing a few of my lobsters in the pond, so I ran under thecover of Posthe tree with my gun and to my amazement it flowers for the second time since last years around this time. Those Herons were lucky tonight; I was distracted. Last years was first time it flowers and I water the hell out of it and it become 30 foot trees full of flowers but no fruit set.  This year I will let nature do her watering to see if it would set fruit.  I have three 30 foot trees.  Hopefully A fruit set this year or I am tempted to axe them all and plant somethings else.  😛

It survived 2010 freeze when some of my jackfruit and soursop froze to death to the ground.  Macupuno can only thrive in hot humid environment and I stress 7 months minumium of hot humid and night temp above 75 for tree to stand the vigor of our winter in my sub tropical environment where hell does free over occasionally a decade interval.

Arizona is no coconut palm paradise.  Best grown in green house, I fertilizer all my coconut with bag of solar salt (sea salts) and they thrive with great resistance to white spiraling flies and lethal yellow.  Of course abstain from growing near a goft course with it fine manicured lawn will invite the grass hopper that I beleive is the vector for lethal yellowing and other ills.  If you are next to a hot spring with shooting Geiser, by all mean you can try growing a cheap ass coconut from Home Depot before you migrate to the rarity Macupuno!

Yes Frank got seedlings sprouting and we are going to plant more of this variety!  I have contacted the Japanese Self Defense Force to ask an old buddy to hunt this fellow down and get a release or his blessings to make it public domain; I am too old to start. Shinobi War! PM me in August and I will have an answer on scions or seeds legality!

Don't worry I have the same Legal team that defeated Google for trespassing on my intellectual properties and we settle amically me handsomely rewarded.  Stealing other creation is not my cup of tea, I get him a job with the Annona Mafias's; he already display Sith Breeder Quality this Japanese PHD.  He is also savy at selling the property at its high, my kind of guy!🤓🌊

Remind Nullzero is visting me in Florida in August remind me to send you a yearling that is flowering and fruiting, remind me to throw in Strain A& B.  And if we harvest seeds from Strain B fruiting in pictures, remind to give you them.  I beleive these annona are more drought resistant than any of the Taiwanese.😆

Shit who else I have forgotten to send seeds,??? Annona Alzhaimer kicks in again! You got a big back yard you can fit all that stuff,?any wallfish in your back yard escargot homies?🐌

Wife cousin just got married and move out in Walnut California, they told me nothing out there but wildfire and coyotes in LA.  Too dry to plant anything in those foothill mansion but nasty cactus not meritting a visit.  Amazing the huge Micro climate you have, a coyotes attack one of there poodle in the hood, wonder how the coyotes barbecue taste?  The foxes here that try to bite my Maltese girls were to gamy, I made it into a nice fox hat for a nephew!

Raul if I can find a seed from this literally seedless variety, you will be the first one to be the recipient buddy!

300 hundred fruits, found only one seed, but it has not sprouted and I can not seem to find were I stuck it in front if my house last year.  The seed are the smallest if any black sapote I have ever seen.  I will let you know if my grafting skill is as good as my sniping skill!😃👍😆

Ok Big Eyes Sugar apple I have Strain A (AKa Rock/MikeT). And Strain B ( Annona Mafias).

I went over to Frank to see how my trialing coming along after looking at my Disappointment of Strain A underperforming here in Florida. A is the smaller pot.


I planted around 200 strain akl over the place at many place beside Frank.

















To my shock one tree three feet tall have nine well developed ping pong fruits!  Considering that my place is a rich soil paradise and frant is a sandy dry wind blown desert and Frank candid laissez affaires in fertilizing or orividing any hydro therapy to our field trial test subject; it is a miracles since I have nearly written them iff for Florida.  We will see hiw this ine taste, I had 30 strain b at twi feet flowering so I quickly stuck in ground and hopefully we will develop the Florida version of Big Eyes; We will tentavely call Black Eyes Snob if it cime to epicurean fruitation, Big Eye sugar apple Ice cream is a treat!👍😃

Well folks after traversing Florida and visiting Tribal Land in Northwest Florida and handling some seedlings to Tribal Elder, fly fishing in Choctawhatchee, came home and discovered all my six feet tall three years old Baccalaureate Macrocarpa died from the prolong cold early in the year.  My Whitman fruit were deplorable, worst than fruits in November and December and the seeds were under developed.  Just horrific the weather in yhe last eight months have not been warm and humid for developing that finest fruit that Whitman is known for.  So much for bearing four crops a year when the best crop is hot summer!  Glad I have about 12 fruits larger than softballs:
















Been finding these lizards in and around my Whitman Fiberless, they kerp thise nasty annona stripe butterflies and its black larvaes at bay.  By Next year my first generation Whitman seedlings should start to flowers. 

Kill my Sabal soursop thirty fruit trees that fruit a dozen tasteless fruit.  I will replaced it with Soren Arusha soursop, hopefully I can see a million fruit on it!😃👍🏻

After observing this weird Black Sapote in Frank Backyard for 18 months and trying to find a seed from the everbearing year round tree; I finally gave up and saw down my beloved Jene Joyner Dinner plate Black Sapote and work on grafting this superior flavorable fruit in my backyard.




















This tree is insect proof, drought resistance and medium large not the giant I am used to.  The fruit never ripe on the tree, we never saw any drop by itself.  It flowers, fruit in various stage of development and its the only tree within 10 miles that we are aware of.  This tree We beleive came from the Japanese researcher's property in West Palm he sold it to Frank's landscapers of which frank has several interesting fruit trees planted.  In my not so humble opinions; it is the most dense black sapote ever had and its buttery sweetness would make this the Toro of Black sapote: i hope to chase down this Japanese breeder who finished his PHD research here In West Palm Beach and sold the landscaper the property. I wonder if the Annona Mafias have already hired him for services in Ryukyu/Okinawa?🙏🏾😃

You have to pick it green and feel heavy like a gold bar and let it ripen on counter.  Forget apoy the curve petiole on the stem, it doesn't work!

Kennedy Half Dollar Size Surinamese Zero Resin grown here in Boca Ratin, Florida








I had a hard time finding a half dollar at the bank so I used a D size Battery diameter to make comparisons.  Later wife dug it from her old jars and found a Kenedy half to compare.  The tree bush is very productive.? I have spend better of a decade or so hunting for a large variety and attempt a breeding a large fruit did not yield until I discovered this in Frank's Backyard.  I was leary of it appearance by chance.  Turn out it was  part trees of a property sold to a landscaper who purchased from a Japanese PHD candidate who sold his experiment farm and return to Japan after completing his PHD.  So I will hunt him down to insure he didnot genetically patent/registered it; that it has no claims.  I don't enjoy anyone stealing my works, if he is back by the Annona Mafias's Monsanto Style Lawyers--I would be in the cross hair.

US half dollar size
