Went ahead and picked 2 caimitos. About 6 more on the tree. Not too bad for first time fruiting. Hope they taste good.
20-25 feet is normalI saw a Kwai muk in the Artocarpus collection in Tenom/Borneo. While all other A. species had straight trunks and were about 20 m tall the Kwai muk was barely 3 m tall, with a crooked, much branched trunk. Is this the normal growth form for this species?No, that is not normal.
Great job, the flowers are small but smell so good!
Thanks JY!
Just checked the caimito, and the ripest fruit is about 70% purple. Going to watch and wait.
The borojoa plants were from 7 heads off eBay. I had 3, lost one, and one of the 2 left is not looking so good. Haven't really given them the attention they need.
Beautifuly grown plants and a great variety! It will be exciting to see them maturing in a few ears
Where did you find Borojoa? I am looking for them too.
Thank you both. I was hoping I didn't have to do more bagging :-) Mine took 4 years from seed to flower.
I have 3 feijoa in ground for around 8 years and none have flowered. I did not think we could get fruit as far south as we are.
Fruitlovers.com do not reply to customers willing to buy seeds! Second he is a thief! He doubles the price of seeds which cost half less yesterday! I do not recommand him as a potential buyer. Fruitlovers.com is a thiefBought seeds from Fruitlovers.com many times. Always prompt and responsive. All my email answered. All seeds received. Would definitely recommend and buy again from Fruitlovers.com
cant go wrong with S8 to begin your collection with
Anybody?
Can anybody share their knowledge of a flavorful dragon fruit variety?
Hi all,
I have several Feijoa bushes I've grown from seed and which are finally fruiting this year. Do I need to bag the fruit to avoid worms?

Thats what I call organic peach growing! Hope it works well.Search Amazon for "drawstring organza gift bags". Better price for larger quantities but I got 200 6x9 inch for fifteen cents each.
Question: where would I find smaller bags to use over individual branches or fruits?
Thanks
they might last a few crops. Just slide over fruit & pull drawstrings.
Now my guava trees have curious purple stuff all over.
Elephant apple ( Dillenia indica ) has pretty big leaves, but they are also very pretty in my opinion, ridged like a ruffles potato chip. I find the tree very attractive. mostly used as a medicinal for those that know about it, it is not commonly known around here though.I love Dillenia indica and have yong trees, the leaves are not huge yet. It is definitely a beautiful tree. Not only medicinal. The fruits are eatable, the crunchy “sepals” tightly covering the fruit are cocked with sugar and spices into chutney. I made it once. The “sepals” are very fibrous and sour and remind in taste green apples. It’s a lot of work to make chutney from elephant apple!
We don’t really need to pollinate any fruit trees, especially rollinia. But, I’m wondering, don’t you have any of the stingless, melipona bees, in Florida?
