The Tropical Fruit Forum

I just want to be able to name it properly, and prevent others from changing the name to.something else.  If I could achieve that without a patent, then I'd be fine to do so.  As for what I read, though, it seems that naming a plant is part of the patent process.

Good luck with that part!  re: Young/Tebow

The "Young" and "Duncan" mangos were both patented.

That's one hell of a camera if the Google car took that photo! 

Edward x Earle(Pico) 15, became known as the "Wester".

It will be well worth the wait!  My favorite!

Another fruit off of Squam's Sapodilla, 2.3 lbs and 16 inches in circumference! 

Hope that you are on to something about the "Banilejo" tree!  Great looking Duncan, one of favorites 

Thanks for sharing!

Great job Patrick!

I am with you Nat!  Hard to beat an Edwards! 

Your best bet for avoiding the $40 admission is to join a local botanical garden that's part of the nationwide network.  I have used my Mounts Botanical Family membership to go to Fairchild during festivals and saved $120 each visit.  My annual membership is $75 a year and covers my wife, myself, my daughter, and one of her friends.  If you hit two or three festivals it translates into a real savings.  If you think about it, a movie night with a small family runs about $100, and the money doesn't really do much for promoting good heath and communication!  Support Botanical Gardens! Buy books, souvenirs, and plants from them!

Good reminder Patrick! 

btw, the correct name is Simmonds, named for Edward Simmonds.

Can always use a pH tester from your swimming pool, or neighbor.

 
Nice list Harry!  Couldn't help but noticing that the Edward leads your pack, having 4 specimens!
