The Tropical Fruit Forum

Maybe I should. But I got 30 other varieties from them that were correct.  This is the only wrong one and it was grafted some years ago.

Probably left on the tree too long? Satsumas get puffy the longer they hang as well.

That makes sense.  I'll check earlier next year.

Yes the larger ones taste good, but most smaller ones are granulated.  It does get 90% sun so could probably use a bit more shade for such a small fruit.  The record hot summer this year killed my Owari and Xieshan Satsumas.  I guess Satsumas are less heat tolerant than most citrus.  May be due to lower vigor too.  All of my other citrus survived the summer without much stress, including other mandarins, oranges, pomelos and others.

Does this look like a huge dry granulated Wekiwa or did CCPP give me the wrong budwood? 
It's next to a Salustiana orange and Kishu mandarin both are very good.
All my other varieties on the same rootstock growing in the same area did not have granulation problems.

Sounds good.  I found a bigger sucker that I can take cuttings from and will try to root it in the garage around Christmas.  Should know by March if successful.

I have most of my citrus on C-22 Bitters instead of Seville Sour Orange now.  My trees on C-22 grow better than SSO, especially in the part of my yard with more calcareous soil(shittier soil).  Other advantages I see are:
-Stronger heat / sun resistance
-smaller tree, but still good vigor
-less fruit granulation(maybe due to lower growth vigor or better root efficiency or both)
-better flavor in some varieties(maybe due to healthier tree)

Seville Sour is still pretty good for Arizona soil, but C-22 is better.  Also some nurseries say their citrus are on sour orange rootstock, but neglect to tell you it's not Seville Sour.  They use some other sour orange such as Brazilian Sour or something that grows faster than Seville to increase profits.  Then customers(me) wonder why their citrus still taste like trash after 5 freaking years.

 :)The cold also stunts my mangoes since my most of yard is closer to 9a than 9b, but I freed up the warmest spot for one mango.

I checked my dead narrow leaf's roots and it's has heavy root knot nematode damage, so it died quickly after the rabbit chewed the dripline.  If healthy, it would not have died from lack of water so quickly.  That's probably why it dropped it's big fruits and some leaves late summer.

I googled for some answers and found that there's a new root knot nematode that is worst than the common Southern Root Knot Nematode called the Guava Root Knot Nematode.  WTF was what I said.  I'm not sure which nematode I have, but it's probably from a plant or potting soil I bought before.

I did find one research paper that found root knot nematodes doesn't harm all guavas the same.  All P. guajava s are highly susceptible to it.  P. guineense are slightly less susceptible, but cattley guava and feijoa are highly resistant to it.  So generally the further the relation to tropical guava the lower the susceptibility and the higher the resistance.  I guess P. striatulum is very closely related to P. guajava. 

I just moved a healthy P. longipetiolatum full of strong roots and found a few very small root knots, so it's showing it's resistance to the root knot nematodes.  I have to be careful with my soil from now on.

You liked it Kaz, Nice!  I found this website with lots of wampee varieties listed. 
I'm not sure it's legit, but the varieties look legit, Chinese varieties.  I recognize three of them.

They have other fruits with varieties listed too.

The fruit tasted okay, it wasn't too sour, but it was so small and scant flesh it just wasn't worth it. I am looking forward to trying regular non-pink wampee next

Is it a seedling?
I'm going to try grafting a wampee variety to pink wampee rootstock and see if the tree grows any differently. 
Since wampee and citrus are somewhat graft compatible, then surely two Clausena species should be highly compatible.

Thanks for letting me know

I'll have fruits of robustum in about a month give/take. Would be up for trading is you're still looking then

Ok, I'll let you know if I do, thanks.

Hi,
I'm looking for Psidium striatulum and robustum seeds or seedlings.
I have many fruit tree varieties listed in my profile that I can send scions of.  My tree list is always changing so please ask me.
For trading plants I have Inga Santa Cruz, Costa Rican guava, Guabiju, Orange Cherry of the Rio Grande, Red Himalayan mulberry and Sangue e Latte mulberry.
Thanks,
Steve
