This will be interesting to see. I can't wait to see the results. What are you aiming for yield wise? 4-5 fruits from each variety?

Nullzy. I'm just hoping half of them will take and then I'll think about yield. I believe I have the timing right this time. 80 percent of my grafts have take so far this year. I've been working with small and medium cherimoya container seedlings and my atemoya and ilama which are on the ground. I'm at 100% with the container about 60% with the trees that are on the ground. I was adviced by Dario and other cherimoya experts to start my cherimoya grafts the first week of April. I hope it work.

Interesting, I need more practice with grafting and success. I am going to be working on trying to graft the other cherimoya seedlings I have. Btw, would you be interested in Taiwan (cherimoya/atemoya, it was obtained from Roger Meyer) budwood in the future?

Great thing about your multigraft tree, is you can see first hand which varieties will perform well with the best fruit. Much better then trying to plant out all those varieties

Soren,

Nice job! This was one of the plants I wanted to try sometime. I think it would do well in Southern California interior locations.

Theobroma grandiflorum, did the same thing to me. I had less then optimal humidity conditions. I am thinking of not trying to grow any Theobroma, until I get a nice greenhouse in the future.

Forgot to mention I grafted alupag onto longan...and some are pushing!

Bill whitman said he grafted some that grew like weeds, but didn't flower as abundantly as his marcotted alupags.

I think your lychee longan grafts should work

Adam,

That is an interesting graft.

Impressive list Ethan.

Looks so tasty! Great job growing those beautiful fruits.

thanks Nullzy. did you African Pride take?

It has not pushed growth yet, I am hoping it takes. Thanks JF, btw are you going to greenscene on saturday 14th?

Slowest growing for me is Stenocereus gummosus, it does not look like it has grown at all in a year and an half time frame.

Hey Stephen,

Everything looks great.  Congratulation!!  How warm has it been getting over there?   It still hasn't really warmed up warmed up the way I am hoping for.  Would love to see some pictures of the Yumberry trees.

Thanks,

Jacob

Jacob,

Temps have been ranging around high 60s during the day, low 50s at night. Humidity ranging between 40-80% usually. Last night was 100% humidity and foggy/drizzle at times. Warming trend expected going into Monday and Tuesday. Will take Yumberry pictures perhaps tomorrow morning. Not much to see yet, just the small/clipped leaves and stem which has younger parts still green.

Great pictures, spring is here .

I was in the container garden last night, took some photos. I have a lot of stuff blooming now in containers, hopefully this year I get a decent yield to have extras to share with family and some friends.

Allspice; The tree is very healthy looking.


'Kohala' Longan; Flower spike getting ready to bloom.


'Garnet Sash' Pomegranate; Getting ready to bloom, lots of flower buds this year.


Red Wax Jambu; Flushing growth


'Concord Seedless' Grape; Flowering


'Jewel' Blueberry

Nice tree Mfajar! That type of form would work great for Pancrazio. If it got very cold would be easy to wrap up the trunk inside the enclosure with insulating materials.
