Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / WTB: Cherimoya (Annona cherimola) scions
« on: February 07, 2022, 12:39:56 PM »
I'm looking for just a couple cherimoya scions for my rootstock. Anything approximately Sharpie marker sized or slightly bigger would be great. Looking for atypical  but not necessarily new varieties (e.g. NOT el bumpo, booth, pierce, etc.) I only need a couple for my little starter tree. TIA!

« on: February 28, 2021, 01:12:43 PM »

P. jaboticaba 'Sabara'
P. cauliflora x aureana (Red)
P. sp. 'Grimal'
P. coronata
P. grandiflora
P. peruviana/trunciflora

Annie's Annuals has them too, small plants in 4" pots, but the price is right and they grow fast.

Thanks! Bought a pair.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Help with Yellow Leaves on peanut butter fruit (bunchosia argentea)
« on: June 18, 2017, 11:50:39 AM »
I have a peanut butter fruit (bunchosia argentea) tree with very yellow leaves. Some eventually wither and turn brown. It has been very slow growing so far. Any suggestions for greening it up are appreciated. Stats: 4' tall, 1" thick trunk, part sun, 75°F temps during the day, soil pH 7.0.

I've fertilized and added chelated iron to no effect.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Seeking Recommendations for Jackfruit Variety or Other Atrocarpus
« on: May 14, 2017, 11:39:32 AM »
My collection is conspicuously devoid of any Atrocarpus plants, so I'm seeking recommendations for Jackfruit varieties and/or other related species. I'm interested in sweet and low latex fruiting types, but also vigorous, compact, and hardy plants. I'm in CA, Zone 11b. TIA.

Someone in San Pedro grew what looked like pulasan in there yard, person worked for the ILWU. They brought some fruit to my old work to try, I tried some it was juicy and sweet and did not look like a lychee. I never got to see the tree though.

Interesting. Thanks for the glimmer of hope.

Both pulasan and rambutan are tropicals and are not going to be hardy in California. In order to grow either you will need a greenhouse with controlled temperatures, solar exposure, and humidity.

Yes, I understand, but in the off-chance that anyone in CONUS has one that has survived beyond being a seedling, then I am interested. My temps don't go much below 50°F in the winter, so I'm looking to push it a bit.

« on: January 28, 2017, 07:53:04 PM »
I'm looking for a Nephelium mutabile (Pulasan) that is California hardy and not a seedling. I'd settle for a good-size, hardy Nephelium lappaceum (Rambutan). Thanks in advance for any offers or tips.
