Quote from: Mike T on July 17, 2012, 02:50:45 PMMy Julie got axed from the backyard team because it was not good enough.Flavor,flesh yield and texture were its main problems.I am told it performs better in a dry climate.I assume you mean less humid. Now whaty I want to know is the humudity in the Caribbean that much lower than SFla (and Mike T's location Down Under) ?

'Julie' is a high -maintenance variety, which some persons have learned to cope with, even in very high humidity foggy inland areas. Years ago I was totally surprised by how large and beautiful a 'Julie' was in the yard of Winston Crosbie out in the acreage west of West Palm Beach. His back yard nursery is called Royal Ascot. He is one of our Rare Fruit Council past presidents.
Zill High Performance Plants is now selling 'Julliette' trees [wholesale] and fruits [retail]. I bought fruit Friday and am waiting for ripening.'Gary' is a grandson of 'Julie' but doesn't much resemble her, taking more to the pollen source, 'Petigrew'.'Julie' is a high -maintenance variety, which some persons have learned to cope with, even in very high humidity foggy inland areas.
