The Tropical Fruit Forum

The gel is agar. I think it’s a seaweed extract. I still have a few bottles of it when I was fooling around with micropropagation via tissue culture.

Just don’t add sugar to it and it won’t go moldy.

Isn’t that wampee ?

First on my favs list is a Thai Red, also called purple or black.

This is a magnificent looking fruit Galka. How does this taste compared to the Malaysian magenta? The Malaysian magenta is a pretty damn good guava when picked in the winter in so cal. Your Thai looks even more appealing. I am curious about taste. Im not a big fan of soft guavas but the deep red color has piqued my interest.

Hi Xue,
Is grafting guava now better than in Spring?

Sam,
Spring is always best. But I graft all year long.

I will be trimming some crystal seedless guava scions this Sunday. if anyone is interested in scions, send me a PM. Prices on crystal seedless guava scion and shipping remains the same as the original post.

Also have a 25 gal cocktail crystal seedless & mexican cream tree for $300. Price is firm. ALL LOW BALLING INQUIRIES WILL BE IGNORED. Local pick up at 91732.




I also have very limited amounts of longan scions at $8 ea:
Fortune eyes
Large dark eyes (originally collected from the Guangzhou province in China by my contractor)
Sak Ip - in my opinion (along with many others), sak ip is one of the BEST longan cultivar to grow. Nice floral aroma and crisp flesh.
Ikeda - Hawaiian selection

These longans are at $5ea
kohala
Biew khiew
Chompoo


Minimum order is $20.

Very cool Simon. Will you leave or remove the paper clip? If you leave the clip, would it cause damage to the tree in the long run?

Slightly off topic. Do you guys know what’s the longan variety called from Florida that has large fruit with thick brown skin?

I have some rootstock I would like to graft this too.  Sending PM

Got it ! Thanks

All sold out for now!!

Thanks everyone for your support

If you like big, crunchy and sweet guavas, this is it. Crystal is the best guava, this variety fruits all season long. It is so good that i had to top worked all of my guava trees to this variety. Get yours before it is too late.

Thanks for the scions xue

If you like big crispy you need guava Pen....and if you like more sweet and crispy you need from taiwan. I buy 2 times crystal guava in Singapore and has no taste, nothing.

No idea what you’re talking about. Everyone who tried my fruit loved it. I was even able to convince mom guava eaters to plant one after trying it. Both fruit and trees are high demand.

Thanks Socal0b

No international shipping for now.sorry.

Guavas and other trees have much higher success rate when grafted onto young tender shoots.

Pick up in Rosemead during the day.

Most sought after crunchy Asian guava. It is sweet, tart and the crispiest guava I ever had. 95% of the guava trees I have has been top worked to Crystal seedless. Local nurseries are selling 5 gal trees for $90-$120 if you can even find them. 

Also the most prolific seedlessvbearer. Bears fruit in clusters. Must thin to get bigger fruits. Most of the crunchy seedless guavas are shy bearers.

$5 ea. minimum 4 scions. Shipping is $3.5 for first class or $7.5 for priority mail. Paypal is shenxue@gmail.com. Please send as friend or family.

I just grafted some Wilson Seedless scions. From what I read they make a larger amount of cukes. Fuerte is another one that makes the cukes which I think is just poor pollination and they are small size.

Hey Josh,

How is the oil content and flavor on the Wilson Seedless?
