Tropical Fruit Discussion / Best Star apple varieties?
« on: February 29, 2024, 08:01:34 PM »
Here in Hawaii almost all grafted Star apples are ‘Haitian’, propagated by Plant It Hawaii.  It seems to me not to be a big improvement on average seedlings. Frankie sold some trees of Philippine Gold which is ok. Oscar Jaitt selected a “giant” seedling. Otherwise in Hawaii it’s just purple and a few green seedlings. I think it’s similar in Florida, but I’ve planted Hipolito and Burgess from Julian Lara. He also lists ‘Lara’. I see A-1, Excalibur, and Jaco Beach listed by Excalibur.

I’m inclined to plant more Hipolito and Burgess just based on Julian’s descriptions

Perhaps you folks can give your experience with these varieties or mention some that are better.

Thanks!  Steph

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Marking Mangos
« on: July 11, 2023, 11:36:46 AM »
I see folks marking variety name or initials on individual mango fruits with a sharpie or other pen. I’d like a more aesthetically pleasing and edible method. Anyone have suggestions?

Lara Sep-Nov I don’t have trees or source of scionwood

Abuelo Oct-Nov I don’t have trees or source of scionwood

K-40 Mamey Sapote is listed on Lara Farms and Tropical Acres websites but I have not found any information about the cultivar. Does anyone know about its fruit quality and season?

Thanks!

« on: July 20, 2020, 05:01:34 PM »
I'm starting to grow some of the relatively new Gary Zill selections here in Hawaii.  Can you help me with the limited Florida growers experience with the seasonality of these mango varieties:

- Guava
- Orange Sherbet
- Phoenix
- Zill O-15
- Zill P-22


Thanks!

Steph
