Pecan Pie and Inca Gold are in Nor Cal , 25 gallon grafted tree's sold with flowers/fruit but the fruit has yet to hold in nor cal.
Call before you haul and make sure they have or want to sell any grafted Kona , La Paz or La Molina 4.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I only knew of the one "Pecan Pie" that Wildlands has and had no idea that there were already "Inca Gold" trees in Nor Cal as well.
And you're right, thanks for the head's up, I got a little too excited as an overzealous noobie... it'd be the smart thing to do to call ahead and ask if they actually have any of those bad boys in stock in the first place before making an appointment to visit. Hopefully they do have 'em and are willing to part with some smaller specimens so I can score some 1 gal or 3 gal grafted trees when my pops and I are on our way back up from Diamond Bar (a 25 gallon tree is definitely not gonna fit in our Honda Accord and I doubt he'd want to transport one "Griswold family"-style back up to Davis LOL).
Any of my fellow Nor Cal folks see Marta Matvienko's post on her blog from June 2023 about her experience growing lucuma and other pouteria over in her/my neck of the woods? We're both located in Davis. Here's a link:
https://fruitsandgardening.blogspot.com/2023/06/pouteria-species-in-open-ground-in.htmlInterestingly enough, one of the seedlings I bought from Wildlands has really tight node spacing and looks like it's going to have a compact growth habit, while the other seedling is shooting straight up like a rocket and is super vigorous (and lanky), similar to what Marta mentions about the two different "biotypes" of lucuma she's growing. I can try to take some pictures of mine and share later.
Marta mentioned that her lucuma trees have begun flowering, as well as her seedling canistel. Kind of off-topic, but I've been growing a grafted "Bruce" canistel that I got from Champa last year and it also flowered profusely and even set a fruit last summer while it was scorching hot in Davis (the fruitlet is still hanging on last I checked). We've already gone through two nightly lows at 30°, four at 32°, one at 34°, and four at 36°. There can be some pretty cold wind gusts at my location as well, so I'm pretty impressed that little thing is still hanging on. I also have a couple green sapote seedlings from Wildands sitting out in the open with the lucuma seedlings and they're doing okay so far (not doing as well as the lucuma seedlings, though). Cool stuff.
