Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: Cherimoya/Pawpaw hybrid
« on: January 29, 2021, 07:03:53 AM »
I follow this experiment for quite some time now - really exciting! I hope there will be some updates soon. If you ever need help in growing out "hybrid" seeds or grafting them on Asimina rootstocks for faster fruit formation, please contact me. I'm from (southwest) germany as well.

Beste Grüße von der Bergstraße!

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: sorbus sp. hybrid

@ sanitarium : Have you tasted Dezertnaja yet? I'm very interested in this hybrid because i really like the taste of Mespilus germanicus (Mispel, forgot the English name). Is it comparable?
I would also love to get some cuttings from this, if you were willing to send some to Germany. I could find no one here in Germany selling it.

Looks very interesting, i have never heard of them! Do you have any idea how cold-hardy they could be? Any chance they would grow in zone 7b/8a? Where do you got the cuttings?

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: Anyone know a source for Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) plants?
« on: October 31, 2015, 10:59:05 AM »
I have some Vaccinium myrtillus plants from the wild, but i think its forbidden to send plants to the US (i live in Germany, where they grow wild). The yield from these plants is much lower than for cultivated blueberries, and they need even more acidic soil. But the taste is great, if you get enough of the small berries to taste it ;). Less sweet and much more aromatic than blueberries, and blue inside (instead of white).

What means temperate in this case? How cold hardy is this cactus? Looks really cool.

I`m also very interested in Diospyros hybrids. Are their any successful crosses besides the Kaki x virginia hybrids?
@ Alex: Are you interested in the black/blue Kuro Gaki Kaki? There are some sources in Europe, for example

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Ilama "Maya-Rahmapfel" from ebay and aliexpress???
« on: July 26, 2015, 06:33:52 PM »
Just wanted to add that "Maya-Rahmapfel" is not a cultivar name. Rahmapfel is the german name for cherimoya and Annona squamosa, so translate it just as "maya custard apple".
