« on: August 15, 2020, 04:00:12 PM »
I have seeds from both, and they look exactly the same. I have also seen fruit and trees of both, and they look extremely similar. Is there a way to tell them apart? Wondering if one of the trees was mislabeled.

« on: April 24, 2020, 06:22:52 PM »
Have just failed for the third time, losing hope on this. From what I have read online it is possible and this is how it is commercially propagated in New Zealand, but other resources have said it is difficult. Has anyone here succeeded with this? What method did you use?

« on: March 03, 2020, 12:06:18 PM »
I was curious if anyone had tried reconstituting juice from the concentrate, how it was (ala how they do it with pineapple). Thinking about possibilities as a flavor for cooking while the fruit is out of season

Tropical Fruit Discussion / All my cherimoya seedlings are dying, what can I do to save them?
« on: October 22, 2019, 05:22:54 PM »
I've tried fertilizing and spraying with copper antifungal with no luck. Very sad about this, is there anything else that I should be trying? They are currently indoors by a window so it shouldn't be due to cold or wind. Some examples of what the leaves look like:

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Topworking apricot tree, looking for suggested cultivars to graft (SoCal)
« on: September 04, 2019, 09:29:41 PM »
What varieties do people recommend? This is in Santa Barbara region. Rootstock is old apricot that doesn't produce anymore. I'm new to grafting so less finicky varieties are a plus. I enjoy pluots and nectarines the most but I am not sure what is compatible with apricot.
