The Tropical Fruit Forum

--empty

you have to try fruits yourself to come up you fav ones.

get the general list from the forum members here and see if someone is willing to ship you the fruits


my list is now different after personally tasted some ..  to my surprise i also like Venus , Kiran Michael  (both are hardly mentioned here) as well as J-14,  peach cobbler

other top tier that i tried and very much like it was Coconut cream , sugar loaf and Mallika (yes Mallika too ) 

for some reason or got the bad batch i dont very found of Super Alphonso or kesar i got  (may be pick to early)

i also like East indian taste wise , but have fiber in it , for which i have no problem . but others may disagree

Awesome
Loving this thread of people trying out the seedlings

But what if we end up finding a good variety that would like to propagate?

would we need help from established nursery?

I too had business in past with Lynn and got some really specimen from her

But as pointed out earlier , her shipments were in question and put plants in unnecessary stress

Survival rate of lychee was 15 to 25% and mango trees drop most of its leaves before recovering


From last two year I was getting trees from Jim (Ebay) , bit expensive but ship tree in pots , and then the survival rate was more then 80% for lychee and mango tree recover in no time with no min leave drop

But sadly he passed away this year and now I think her daughter take over the business and shipping tree out , already got two good size 7 gal mango tree and next week “ little gem” (3 gal ) on its way

Thinking about supporting them more from now on , very good service and very response

Pls PM me for contact info

Interesting

Or just remove the top part from the barrel, put it back at the bottom , and attached casters

Like I did for this Lamb Hass avocado tree

I purchase 3x15gal last year
Two from Lowe’s (via Laverne nursery) 1x Mexicola, 1x Bacon
And one from menlo grower Pinkerton

Two of them , which was planted in front yard doing great , see attached pics

That’s why I was willing to try 2 more 15 gal

Did follow some general guidelines, like don’t pull the tree from pot , cut the pot away , plus I mounted up , meaning only 1/3 of the plant was in ground and rest I put more compost and layer of mulch around

One thing that I noticed that trees from La-Verne was in much better soil, but the tree from menlo growers are in like crush rocks and sand , much heavier and not easy to handle

Thank You Squam! F the Scammers. Please post this Loser's contact info if possible.

Phone number on his ads: 810-348-8292

I called him other day, he was quite defiant. Initially claimed he had all his trees grafted in Ormond Beach, even though I have an invoice proving otherwise. He then got angry and dropped a lot of F bombs.

He’s changed his story several times with different people apparently.

F words.
red flag right there , any genuine business person will never use them with customers 

This is big
Can you pls share the details , how you come to this conclusion

I need this information to start my refund from Ebay or PayPal

Well in my case , I felt betrayed
Those Pakistani mango plants were getting special treatment

Brought them inside my master bedroom next to sunny windows for winter , and not to forget that they are in clay pot ( heavy ) and my bedroom is at first floor

And I don’t have to mentioned master bedroom = wife not happy

So all this effort for Florida mango:(
They should be out in greenhouse,with rest of my collection

Not fair

Funny thing is that his listing is always for 1 plants per variety’, but magically they are never out of stock

Plus the pic provided for the budwood tree (now that we known is fake) , can’t produce that many budwood , plus there is no sign of budwood taken

Now getting more suspicious about his whole operation

Are we sure , that the seller is selling Zill mango as Pak/Indian mango

Don’t want to hurt someone business just on speculation

Damage on mango will visible much later on , atleast that’s my experience
