Oscar or Daniel or anyone growing these avocados can you comment on size and shape of the trees? Any of these trees column shaped, any small vs gigantic etc?

We never prep scions. Pretty common here in FL, to just snip and graft. Don't think there's much of a difference in rate of take. You can actually graft completely dormant budwood. Once you get cambium binding, the scion can live for months without needing to grow. Where it could potentially have an impact would be when using budding techniques, as it's sometimes hard to get mango budeyes to spring.
As far as sending budwood, one thing to be careful of is not to over moisten the media. Just a few sprinkles of water to maintain humidity within the bag is sufficient. Too much water can lead to early scion failure.
Wrapping with paper towel and inserting into ziplock back works well. Just be sure not to over moisten. Literally a few drops of water is enough.
Agreed (and if I did prep, I would leave a tad bit of the leaf petiole and not cut so flush to the scion material). I have sent fresh cut scions just as Jeff described to people and take rates are usually very good.
Once you try a good pulasan, you can easily forget about the greatness of rambutans.
I don’t think I’ve tried a good Pulasan. So, I’ll keep a lookout for them. Meanwhile, the Rambutan Fever continues.
P.S.
They (the Rambutan) are hairy and red, rivaling (if not overpassing) the beauty of the Lychee; This fact is also a big Commercial plus!
I don't get it, sorry. I've had both, and I'm perfectly happy with a good lychee. Kinda like arguing which mango is best. OS, LZ or PPK?? Wouldn't you be happy with any of those??
That looks a lot like a jackfruit/other Artocarpus2nd, that looks like jackfruit or derivative. Along with the good news above, if you took really good care of it, you could get fruit in 3-5 years. Bad news, it should be a lot bigger to hold fruit. And will need plenty of room/water, a much/much larger pot.
The good news is you have a much better chance with it
I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for disease resistant mangoes that fruit well in wetter tropics. 100+ inches rainfall annual east side big island hawaii.. I am growing relatives like odorata and kasturi. So far I have planted brooks late, maha chanok, rapoza, chock anon. Most all fruits get destroyed by anthracnose on local trees. Ive seen florigon do well but it is not so great of a mango. Any suggestions would be most helpful thanks
