I just recently found someone selling Ilama seeds and was thinking about purchasing them but had never heard of them before. Do they not grow true to seed and that's why grafted ones are preferred? Or is it to speed up the time to fruit? Do they grow well in Central/South Florida?
Pm me. I have nice sized grafted Rosada Ilama.
Hi everyone! Im new, never really did a introductory post before. My name is Tristan i take care of my grandma for a living as of recent im trained as a cook/chef love food. And love some exotic fruit.
I bought velvet apple seeds from Luc last year and they arrived in Irma's aftermath. Every one of them sprouted and was growing well until I had the misting system on and they were moist when the night time temperature dropped below 50 F. All but 6 died within one day. So keep them on the dry side, especially if cool night time temperatures are expected. I hope to order more seeds from Luc this year now that my propagation area has been rehabilitated.I had one that I lost to that, the other laughed through 29 degrees while putting out new growth. I love these guys
I'm in South Florida and tried to grow Marang for 30 seeds, all die even though I have successful germination. I tried indoor light, shade, full morning sun (all in potting soil in small pot). How do you guys get it to grow more than 5" tall? Anyway, I went to Excalibur as I read that someone saw they have Marang a while back ago. Richard told me to get Pedalai as it taste similar but better, and they will have Pedalai soon.
So, since Marang is such a pain the rear to grow, do you think Pedalai is a good substitute?
Also, with global warming, may be South Florida will get the climate like Miami/Key West in a couple years, so by than may be Marang (even Durian) will fruit in South Florida?
That's awesome. Hopefully you'll get a fruit setHow tall is your plant?
5 ft.
Great timing for this post
I have wanted to ask the forum about their experience germinating sugar apple seeds.
Earlier this year I received 10 Big Red Seeds in trade for 10 Na Dai seeds, The member told me to
put them between damp paper towels and put in a baggie. After 4 days one germinated and within
2 weeks all 10 seeds had germinated and had emerged from the soil. I had gotten 25+ seeds from a
local fruit and tried to germinate them the same way. They took a little longer but within 4-6 seeks they
all germinated, Then I got the indigo seeds and 2 out of 7 germinated and the VSA I got 1 out of 8 to
germinate, and I tried to germinate a different red type and 1 out of 5 germinated but then 3 more germinated
after several months 4 out of 5 I can live with, I also had 0 out of 3 germinate out of a super large one?
I was thinking maybe it is later in the year but I tried to germinate 10 seeds from a Na Dai I produced and within 2 weeks
all the seeds germinated. All I can say is the seeds are still in damp paper towels and I keep checking them.
I am wondering why some seeds were so easy. I was under the impression all the seeds were fresh?
I have a FB friend in Portugal who's looking for seeds .I second this. My girlfriend would love me if I could get this to grow. I'm loacted in Florida
