Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Tamarind or not??
« on: April 12, 2020, 11:04:13 AM »
Thank you for the replies.  The person requested info on the tree has leucaena leucocephala on another area of their property as well.

Now I also have a name for the tree that is growing in my own yard. We have pulled thousands from the ground.

The plant came up by itself in the other people's yard in South Africa. It was not planted.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Question about grafting
« on: September 27, 2018, 05:17:22 PM »
Hi everyone

I decided to try my hand at the art of grafting.  Now, I have a question.

Do you look at the family or genus name to know if you can graft two plants on one another?

Thank you

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Something wrong with plum trees
« on: May 22, 2018, 04:35:40 PM »
Hi everyone

Some of my family who lives in Canada, has a problem with their plum trees.  It is only the plum trees that it is happening to and none of the other fruit trees in the yard.  There is also no lice.

Can someone please give an opinion on the matter?

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Cherry apple, the mother of all apples
« on: March 16, 2018, 03:22:57 PM »
Good day

Could someone please help me to identify this tree?  I searched the internet and found this website http://www.natureproducts.net/Crops/Apple.html.  Is it the same fruit and is there perhaps a botanical name so that I could search for more info?  I assume if it is the cherry apple, it is edible?  The one tree bears yellow fruit and the other tree bears dark red fruit.

I would suggest to cut a fruit if it is possible.  That way you might be able to see if it is ripe.  You can then post a photo of it for better identification.

Hi to all

A friend of mine has this cactus growing in her yard and would like to know if it is edible.  I know cactus is mostly edible, but I would like to make sure as you guys who have more knowledge.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Dragon Fruit thread.
« on: December 13, 2017, 06:04:47 AM »
The quickest way I’ve found to root cuttings is take a fresh cutting and dip in rooting hormone, then place in shade for a week or two to let it callous over. Then plant 4 inches deep in we’ll draining mediums, then tie a stake to the cutting, after that I place a clear plastic bag over it and place in warm shade or greenhouse. They root real quick that way.

How long will it take to fruit if you prepare and plant a cutting that way?

Hi guys
So, there was this program in South Africa on TV about a Dragon fruit farmer.  According to him, you have to take a cutting and let it lay to dry for two weeks before planting, otherwise the soil will pull the moisture out of the cutting.  If you do that - according to him - the cutting will fruit within 6 to 9 months.  What do you think about it?  Friends of mine are asking questions and I don't know what to answer them.

Here in South Africa, the prices for lettuce skyrocketed.  The one week it was about R10 a head.  This past week, it is R24 a head.

I got another photo from my friend.  It is of the whole fruit.  It looks like Coccinia sessilifolia, but what I cannot understand, is that her fruit is shiny, whereas the fruit where I live is not shiny at all and sometimes even have a whitish color to it as if it is sprayed with something.

Some friend has sent me the pictures, I don't have it myself.  She hasn't tasted it, but said that it smells sweet.

It is definitely not Coccinia sessilifolia.  That plant grows where I live and I know how it should look like.
