Temperate Fruit Discussion / Pears in southern CA
« on: December 27, 2021, 07:02:58 PM »
Anyone growing good pears in southern CA? 

I grew several types and they produced well but the flavor is no good.  Im looking to top work with some of the better types like

D'anju
Comice
Bartlett

These have pretty high chill ratings.  Does anyone have any of these fruiting or any other good tasting pears?

Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Avocado poll
« on: November 20, 2021, 08:33:28 PM »
 :D

Which avocados are most appealing to you?  Ive put the types I personally like and can also grow in this location.  I have to make a decision which types to grow for sale.  Which is a difficult choice to make.  The ones that taste the best dont necessarily fruit well or grow well and end up costing more to grow.

Reed, sharwil, nabal are superior fruits IMO but these are not as easy to grow here as the hass family. Hass is an awesome fruit and they grow and produce well here but its difficult to sell unless selling wholesale.  Tough to compete with mexican avocado production even if the fruit here are higher quality. 

Lamb and Gem are highly productive, but they are B grade fruits.  All of these have some tradeoff.

« on: July 16, 2021, 01:09:25 PM »
Someone posted about their seeds not sprouting recently.  I tried to dig up the thread but couldnt find it.  Anyway I saw this on faceborg today.  It basically says the seeds take 6-9 months to form an embryo and fresh seeds are hollow.

Citrus General Discussion / Limes turned pink grafted on pink lemon.
« on: July 04, 2021, 03:54:57 PM »
My Persian lime grafts on variegated pink lemon produce normal looking fully green limes with pink on the inside.  Is that possible?  I thought I was hallucinating then I cut more of them and they were all this way!  Then I went back to check that they were in fact off the grafted branches and they were!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / murashige avocado scion wood
« on: May 03, 2021, 12:21:00 PM »
this is a hawaiian variety that needed corrective pruning on a small tree.  i saved the scions in case anyone wants to try grafting it.  theres a few nice hardened off scions, the rest was still soft.  but theres some good bud in there if you know what to do with it, it will grow.

15$ for all pieces.

8$ for small flat rate box.
