I've never heard of Giant Filipina guava. Do you sell/trade seeds of any of your fruit?

Very nice display Frank! I like Valdivia Roja too even though it's small and not self fertile at all. The color and taste is very good.

Guys I appreciate it. I just got back from the tropics and there is a better selection of fruits here in SoCal,we are very lucky.

Ethan, you remember this?



That's from one of the 2" big red seedlings we separated three years ago. It flowered in 2014 and has been fruiting ever since, thanks😀

the texture of Birula is like flaky crab meat with the essence of sugar apple.

Rob, it's subjective. You have to be here in multiple tasting for a few years to be objective. It's like eating at the French Landry and Noma. I've been lucky to eaten at the French Landry and at Nector in Yucatán in the last few months were chief Rene Redzepi was special guess and I prefer Noma over Landry
