I've seen plenty like that arround here.
It's a male plant with some female flowers at the end of the stalks.
Most hermaphrodite papayas have female flowers, and on or two males by it's side, but from time to time, there's the oposite, male flower stalks with a few female at the end.
All the papayas I ate from trees like that one were of very good quality.

Hi

I am interested in myrciantes pungens, if still available.

Best regards

Hi Sune!

Yes there are still a few of them.

Sent you a personal message.

Cheers.

Some images added + 2 species of seeds added.

The missing images will be uploaded when I visit my parents, as these plants are there.

Hi everybody!

I currently have a few extra seedlings that I'm willing to sell, from the following species:

Eugenia Sp. (sweet type of Uvaia (not E. lutescens)) - between 20cm and 35cm @ €12 each. ( Only 2 left)



Syzygium jambos - Between 15cm and 25cm tall @ €8 each. (Now €5)



Psidium catleyanum (yellow fruit) - between 50cm and 80cm tall @ €15 each. (Now €12)



Eugenia uniflora (medium dark red/purplish fruit) - about 80cm tall, well branched, almost 3 years old, might flower in the next season, small red hybrid Jabuticaba seedling in the same pot - €20
2 plants in one pot, bigger at about 1m tall, branching nicely, same age as previous one, and also might flower in next season - €30









Psidium Sp. ( http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=18709.msg233609#msg233609 ) - 25cm tall @ €15 each. (Now €12)



Solanum quitoense - +- 15cm tall @ €5 each (min of 2 per order).

Cornus capitata - 10 seeds for €8. (limited) (Now €4)

Psidium Sp. ( http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=18709.msg233609#msg233609 ) - 10 seeds for €10.  (limited) (Only 10 seeds left)

Solanum robustum - 15 seeds for €2





Syzygium mallaccense - €1,5 per seed.



Solanum sisymbriifolium - 10 seeds for €2









Eugenia Uniflora - Medium dark red/purplish fruits, very sweet and no turpentine aftertaste - 5 seeds for €10








I would prefer to post plants to European Union only, but might consider post them somewhere else, however they will be sent outside EU, at buyers responsibility.
Seeds will ship anywhere in the world!

Items with minimum quantity per order, might be sold at lower quantities, if combined with something else, to a minimum of €10.

Shipping depends on weight of your order! Everything is shipped with tracking number!




Thank you,
Nιlio.

Back to Actinidia arguta in a not really cold climate; here you have some A. arguta Cv Issai fruits in Madeira Island.
These are not mine, but from a friend that owns a local nursery! This are young plants for sale, still in pots, with about 2 years.



So I keep saying they don't need that much cold, most people say they need, to fruit...

Unfortunately the taller plant isn't a Kiwi plant, but something else.
That plant also exists here in my Island, but I don't know it's name, however I can tell you it grows fast, it flowers fast, and it produces a lot of seeds. it also can suck a lot of nutrients and water from plants palnted by it's side and cause a lot of shade that will kill some plants; so better get rid of it.

Good luck with the kiwis in northern Brasil.

One of my Jackfruit seedlings is showing some variegation, in a few leaves. It would be great if could hold this, but by the last one it put out, I don't think it will keep the variegation; anyway, I'm posting just fro the record.

hello, does it grow from cuttings? I am looking for babaco in Europe, but so far haven't found any nursery selling it...

Plenty here in the neighbour archipelago.
I know of someone that grows a few of it, and might be able to convince him to sell a few cuttings (it roots very easy from cuttings).

It's leaves are completely different from my Aureana; however as there are a few different forms of Aureana, it might be one of the rare forms, but not the one I have.

Last year I've sold and trade a lot of Lucuma seeds. The variety I have seems to be "La Molina".
Should have seeds in a month or so.

When is the best time for grafitng Lucuma seedlings? How long does it take to fruit from seed planting?

As with many tropicals, I supose the best time is when it is putting new flushes of growt, and here it happens during spring and early summer, but sometimes also in winter, if weather stays mild.
All my plants were grafted or airlayered, so I'm not sure about how long it takes to fruit from seed, but think it should be something from 6 to 10 years.

They don't seem to like to much moisture for germination.
I would try to germinate them in moist vermiculite, and if ny signs of germination were seen, then transplant it to a pot with a well drained substract.

One of these seems to be preparing to flower.

You΄re right. Flowers are coming.

Yep; they opened 3 weeks ago, but no fruit set, however it's flowering again, let's see if it will set one just for taste this time.

Congratulations, Grapebush, on your successes.

I have no idea why cuttings don't work for me. Inspired by this thread and the observation of the Plinia Prince that some myrtaceae root from leaf cuttings, I took a large number of leaf and of semi hard wood cuttings last fall. I had them on a heat mat in an incubator all winter and spring and not one of them took. Two leaves did indeed develop roots, but no growing tip. And all my cuttings failed.

It may be a specific ability of each separate species, or even cultivar to root from cuttings. Or one may need serious equipment, like for Feijoa cuttings.
Ugni's are easy to root for me, but all other Myrtaceae failed...

All the better to see someone succeed!

Thank you very much Solko.
About Feijoa, I've tried it myself as well, but never managed to root a single one, not even by airlayer, so I give up on that one, at least for now...
About rooting leaves, I also tried, and got some to develop roots, but all ended up dead! I guess they don't like to be touched while they're puting a root out, as all of the ones that I touched to see if something was being formed dried, and one that I've never touched is still there looking alive.
For sure some species look easier to root than others, and also some grow faster than others once rooted. Pitangatuba seems to root faster, but develops much slower than Jabos, at least for me...
One thing that might had contribute for your lack of success is the humidity factor. Here the air humidity is always high, and some of these cuttings were rooted in my mini greenhouse, where the humidity is even higher; and these developed faster, so I think this is also a key factor.

Cheers.
