Tropical Fruit Discussion / Lychee grafting
« on: June 11, 2013, 05:06:27 PM »
I have 3 pieces of Fay zi Siu lychee scion wood coming from DR. Zee from the USDA in HI. I have no idea how to graft would be willing to give scions to someone who 1) knows how to graft 2) would like to have this tree 3) is close to my location in Coral Springs Fl. Please PM me if you want them....As always first come first served!

« on: June 10, 2013, 08:35:48 PM »Just graft them onto any lychee tree you have if you can't find any seedling rootstock.
Grafting lychee is very difficult. Good luck.
I dont have any lychee trees, this was going to be my first go around! wondering if I should just get the scion wood and give it to someone who knows what they are doing with it! would hate to see it go to waste! So if any grafters who have rootstock want the scions please PM me I will have Dr. Zee send it to me at the end of June and meet up with the lucky person! but need to be local I'm in Coral Springs Fl.

Rob, It's no use trying to explain yourself some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing. And when they see your getting a little under the collar they turn it up a bit more just to keep the argument going. You know your right Walter & Zill's knows your right and your never going to stop people from trying to rename trees, We are the only one with this "NEW" mango "Angie Blush" get it while it's hot...

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What is the crispiest, sweetest jackfruit
« on: May 06, 2013, 05:04:37 PM »Being biased I would say amber and berry with evidence that J33 and EVIAC sweet are in the same league.I have tried maybe 15 Australian named types,numerous malaysian and thais as well as a few vietnamese varieties before.I have also tasted many un-named varieties.I can only compare to the American types if they are compared to standard common ones like black gold,NSI,bangkok lemon,honey gold etc.Mike can't EVIAC or j-33 here in Florida or at least not yet EVIAC sweet is the one I would love to get my hands on!

I agree why stress the trees two or three times when you can just dig them up replant and water, a lot less stress on the tree and work on you! Good luck with the move!
