Only could read the abstract but it looks promising. 

Haven't seen a thread related to this topic.

The trees will have to deal with occasionally flooding.
Any suggestions?

Banana seem to fit.

I had some plans for this area mentioned in a previous thread. The city just gave me a citation saying I need to plant a shade tree in the swale.
It needs to be 12ft.
I need to complete it by July.

Anyone have suggestions?

Don't really want to buy a 25 gal tree so if someone can point me to a tree that is vigorous enough to pass the eye ball test if I plant it now.
It helps if it's a nice looking edible. I was think tamarind or mulberry. Also if you know anywhere selling that would be great. Or if anyone has any really big seedlings.

Thanks

Anyone have any extra Custard Apples (fruit) for sale?
I live in North Broward so don't mind driving to southern Palm Beach.
Just don't want to venture all the way down to Homestead.

Thanks

I giving away this ice cream bean tree for free. Just come and dig it up.
The tree seems pretty healthy. I don't think the roots can get a footing in the soil.
I'm tired of having to prop it up multiple time a year.

PM me if interested
 

Does anyone have any abiu seedlings from some good varieties locally, or willing to ship (if in US)?

I have some seedling Rollinias to trade (from forum member Kona)

Thanks

I have a J31 jackfruit (planted it before i knew about some of the better varieties), its been in the ground for around 3 years.
This year i started noticing the the newer leaves look unhealthily.
Is this a nutrition problem? What is it lacking and can i apply it now?

My Golden Pillow is a 20ft away and around half the J-31 size but its not showing the same symptom

Anyone in the South Florida area have some Manoa Sweet acerola cuttings or plants?
PM please.

i have a pretty nice spot for a mulberry 10-15 feet in front of my patio. should get full sun for most of the day.

I would like to keep it less than 10ft, but don't mind if it spreads.
I was thinking about Thai Dwarf, does any have any other suggestions?

Multiple harvest/Everbearing is my priority
Are there green/white ones that have multiple harvest per year?

Is anyone selling grafted Kwai Muk trees?
From what I understand, most places are selling seedling.
