For those of you using air pots, Rogue Hydro has a going out of business  sale:

What is that on the side? It was underground in it's original pot. I thought maybe it's the original
seed pod but don't remember it being this size/shape. If it is, would the plant still be relying on it
as it's developed a healthy root system.

Lastly, should I rebury it and leave as is?

I purchased some Gac seeds from Thailand via Amazon and have more than I will
ever plant or need.

If anyone in continental U.S. would like some, they are free and I only ask for payment
for mailing. I will send a minimum of 5 seeds and possibly more, depending on interest.

Please PM me if you are interested.

Missing a label on this one. The leaves have a rough texture on the top and the
edges have a fine, hairlike feel.

Recently, I lost some purchased seeds due to one package going through Miami and
the 2nd batch due to knocking over the growing container. Both sellers have offered
to send me replacements at no charge ( I would love to mention their names but suspect
they prefer I not). The members of TFF are generous in sharing their supplies and their
knowledge.

Thank you!

2 years after I purchased some little 4" white jades from Adam, I was finally able to pick the first of 3 growing out back. WOW, was it ever
worth the wait. It was still warm from the late afternoon sun and tasted as sweet as candy. The core was so soft that you wouldn't know
you're eating it except for seeing the circular pattern. I am by no means a pineapple aficionado, but I don't think I could eat another pineapple
after trying the white jade.

Can any of our resident experts tell me what this is? The tag was lost
at some point and I haven't a clue.

TIA

The 1st strong band from Colin just passed through with rain almost horizontal. I suspect I
will find a lot of mangoes on the ground come tomorrow morning.

I remember this issue being discussed before could could not find the post or how
to search for it.

This is the back of a moro blood orange leaf (the light makes it appear much more
yellow than it is.

What's attacking it and what should I apply to take care of it?

Thanks!

I purchased mango scions from George and grafted them on some of my mango trees. I grafted
a juicy peach scion on my carrie (10/1/15) and on my nam doc mai (10/6/15) and both have a small bud
breaking through on the ends. That's 11 days on one tree and 6 days on the other. Seems way to
soon, or should I expect them to die off? This was my first attempt at grafting. The other grafts (pina colada,
lemon meringue and coconut cream) are showing no new growth.

Jene's Tropicals in St. Pete is having their Tropical Fruit Tasting today and tomorrow, from 10:00 - 4:00. I picked up a sweet tart mango
tree this morning.
