How did you get Lamb Hass? I'd like to try growing one.
wonder if any one has tried it in a more tropical non So Cal climate?
So Ryan did you buy the supposed coconut cream mango tree? Or did still hold it for that grower you mentioned. I live in kona and would love to get one of these trees. Sounds delicious. I guess you had to order yours from a nursery on the mainland? I see that top tropicals lists the tree for sale on their website. Who did you order yours from?
Does the fruit have anything going for it beside being summer bearing?

Check out this list Robinson is listed.
Kurtistown, where Plant It is, not exactly low elevation. I think it is over 1500 feet.
Two years ago I purchased a "low chill" fuyu persimmon (bare root) from Paradise Plants in Hilo (Hawaii). Planted it at my place (inland Kapoho, 150 ft) and, despite good care, the tree went downhill and died. This was while all the other trees around it were thriving. $50 down the drain. I'd be willing to try again someday. Micah, let us know if you can make some grafted trees to sell from your neighbors persimmon.
Fuyu is not a low chill type of persimmon.
Ryan that is Salacca zalacca subs. amboina var. boni or red fleshed Bali Salak.
anyone else have any unique varieties?
I've got a couple local Hawaiian varieties. Will try to post photos.

Question, is it advisable to plant out multiple varieties of pitaya/dragon fruit within close proximity? I'm new to dragon fruit and preparing to plant multiple vines of the smaller orange and yellow pitaya. In addition, I anticipate planting many of the larger fruited varieties in the near future.
In general, is close enough proximity for cross pollination between varieties a good thing or not? Thanks.
IMO it is a good idea to plant more than one variety of Dragon Fruit within close proximity. Last year I had red flesh Nicaraguan Dragon Fruit that produced dozens of flowers, BUT... I did not have other flowering Dragon Fruit plants to pollinate it. When I did, I got good tasting fruit. Cross pollination between varieties is a good thing.
