Citrus General Discussion / Re: Pomelos
« on: December 04, 2020, 06:40:44 AM »
Having 6 tree’s now, Valentine and Thong Dee are all I need. They are both keepers Thong Dee has the edge in taste for me. Valentines has a decent amount of seeds at my place.

Does Pomelo’s have the same effect as grapefruit? Seems to be much milder than grapefruit.

Millet, I have read may articles about lemon/lime, just for mornings and evenings use to take as a medicine, nothing else. Has all the vitamins and than some. Just need a small tree to add.
Santa Teresa I use to for fish and mix drinks, works just fine, also cut it in wedges with a little salt.

Anybody has a couple pieces of sionwood available will buy or trade. Laaz don’t you have a couple of trees stashed away, somewhere in your jungle? Sorry Laaz, you are in a quarantine state.
Nature Hill has Rangpur tree’s but it’s just too pricey for me. Orange color fruit, that’s the one.

I am new to pomelo’s, the ones I grow are Thong Dee and Valentines. This is only the second year of fruiting from my tree’s. So far, they are keepers for sure. I like Thong Dee better, it doesn’t have that strong grapefruit taste, milder and don’t have a strong citrus taste. For me, it’s more like a refreshing taste. Got plenty of citrus/mandarin tree’s to eat from.
Other members have different opinion, hopefully they chime in.
Have a converted workshop to a growroom, heated, tree’s stay in there for 5 months. The nice thing about my trees, Thong Dee ripen now November/ December, Valentines more like January. Having 6 Pomelo trees is about right for me.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Jaboticaba is my favorite fruit!
« on: November 09, 2020, 06:21:54 AM »Hello, my name is Delia! I'm enjoying my several rare jaboticaba tress not seedlings. I think I have 15 varieties. I just enjoy this fruit so much and the antioxidants that they provide.Do you have a favorite? I only have a Red Jaboticaba. Have also 4 seedlings growing that I like to graft several varieties to. Looking for some advise from you and others.

I better start taking inventory of my citrus collection. Been grafting so much, and not tagging like I should. With all the problems with the southern states, taking its toll with citrus forums, I am glad I started my collection before it all happened. I am at capacity, might do some adjusting, who knows.
After this tagging problem, I notice that I have 2 other tree’s very similar fruits and ripening, same size, rather small.
