Tropical Fruit Discussion / Has anyone fruited Lemon Zest Mango in Hawaii?

« on: July 11, 2017, 12:39:29 AM »

I grafted some LZ mangos a few years back and have one in the ground. It has not flowered yet and I'm trying to decide if I should keep the other ones in pots or put them in the ground.

Has anyone fruited this in Hawaii, if so what part of the islands?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Grafted Atemoya Question

« on: May 25, 2017, 11:23:03 PM »

I have a 3 year old grafted Atemoya tree (Pink Mammoth), in full light. The tree is about 7 ft tall and 6 ft wide. It flowered a lot this year and I decided to hand pollinate and ended up getting way more baby fruits than I expected. On a tree of this size and age, how many fruits should I let it keep? Right now it has 20+ baby fruits so I would like some advice on how many to cut off and how many to let mature-- its my first time with a fruiting Atemoya tree, so I'm not aware of the common practices with young trees.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Keledang verification?

« on: January 15, 2017, 07:43:45 PM »

I was wondering if anyone who has experience growing Keledang can verify if this plant is indeed Artocarpus Lanceifolius? I purchased this plant from Waimea Valley (North Shore Oahu) for $20. It was labeled as Keledang, but the foliage looks very different from my very small Keledang seedlings, and also looks quite different from some other pictures of Keledang I've seen on this forum. Are there many varieties of Keledang? Or perhaps it was labeled incorrectly, and if so I would like to identify it before I plant in the ground. Thanks!
