Tropical Fruit Discussion / Garcinia madruno harvest
« on: October 30, 2020, 08:30:58 PM »
Tree made 5 perfect fruit, second year fruiting but later harvest than last time by 2 months and it still has 2 small fruits developing but not sure they will stay through winter.

Super sweet and delicious, tie between mangosteen as favorite garcinia in my opinion.

My cinnamon tree is loaded with fruit this year, I heard you can eat the flesh so I tried it and it has a pleasant slight cinnamon taste to them.

Just bought a cloning machine and i was curious what trees people have tried to root cuttings with and had success. Figured i would dedicate a thread to this interesting topic.

I will try rooting every tree i have and see my chances, then report back on my success.

Also bought a tissue culture kit so i'll see what i can tissue culture as well.

This should be fun.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / First sprout of Raul’s Ilama seeds
« on: June 23, 2018, 10:52:13 AM »
One of the white ilama seeds from Raul sprouted, so stoked. Planted around mid August. The one to sprout was soaked in a super boogie brew compost for about a week and planted in ocean forest/happy frog potting soil. I soak them once every week or two for the first couple months then I keep moist for a couple weeks following a dry week, trying to simulate the natural rainy season as far as water needs. Also only used rain water.

Hope this helps.

Both of mine were out almost all winter except for one night I brought it in my patio so no frost fell on them. Both are almost 4 years old but one grew faster than the other, the big one had a little leaf burn but protected from wind and frost it stood 32f and was fine, the smaller one in the same conditions died back but came back just recently from the bottom of the stem.

It’s one of those plants you really never want to put threw a test like that for the chance they might not come back but since they stood 39f last year unprotected And were completely fine I figured I would push the limit a bit.

Forgot I germinated a camu camu seedling in a bag with a moist paper towel, 6 months later and being in part sun for a few hours a day it was completely dried, yet when I closely looked at the tip it was still slightly green, so after planting it and giving it some TLC it is actually growing again

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Black and red Surinam cherry
« on: May 06, 2018, 05:54:55 PM »
First fruiting of my black Surinam, it’s about 4 years old. Second fruit on my red Surinam that’s about 5 years old. The black are by far much sweeter. My red had bitter cherries when it first produced but now they are much sweeter yet still not as sweet as the black.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / trick to keep plants in small pots longer
« on: April 13, 2018, 10:17:02 PM »
Here are some soursop 3 years old, over 6 ft tall in 3 gallon pots, They are growing faster than the ones in bigger pots. The trick is to have a good base such as concrete or plastic to keep the roots from growing in the ground, add about 6 inches of a mix of fresh and composted leaves mixed with peat moss and stick the plants on top, it allows for the roots to grow out the bottom of the pots and sit in a rich moist compost while keeping the top roots more dry, since the peat moss stays wet longer it gives you a couple days in between watering, plus it saves on fertilizer as it accumulates around the base instead of going in the ground.



here are some Bignay over 6 feet in about 2 gallons of dirt, I have a bunch in bigger pots that are the same size.



logs help keep moisture in the ground and also add a continuous supply of carbon. worms breed like crazy in this compost mix.

you can see the roots. I am able to move the pots at will without worrying about breaking roots, although on concrete tiny roots do go into the ground but are easily broke with out harm to the rest of the root system.



Figure i would share as I am always looking for ways to keep plants happy in their pots as long as possible and maximize growing speed as well, There are many people also wondering the size of tree and correlation of pot size so i hope this helps. A side note that i only use rainwater or highly filtered tap water, I don't believe you will get the same results if using unfiltered city water and chemical fertilizers full of salts as it kills the soil bacteria which is the plants immune system, healthier soil healthier plants.
