In compatible root stock.  My Meiwa was grafted to incompatible Kuharske Citrange so I planted a flying dragon 1 inch away and did an approach graft and cut out the Kuharske.

Thanks so much! Was your Meiwa purchased from nursery or did you do the graft yourself and later realize incompatibility? I ask because I got my Eureka from a large nursery, Brite Leaf, so I would think they would know compatibility. Also, it did grow fine for the first few years until I went from a 15 gallon container to a 35 gallon one. Initially, I figured it was just working on its roots but now…?

Do you think they’d grow outside unprotected in south FL? Specifically Kendall
I think they should do good.
just not frost tolerant.
I wish more people were into the mango hybrids and relatives.
I think it just got staunched though as imports of mango seeds are not allowed.
I'm sure everyone would love to grow this one.

You got me curious. I've been googling this a bit, but can't find a prohibition on importing Mangifera seeds. There was a PDF from the USDA with a title starting "Federal Order for US Imports of seeds and fruits of mango ..." but the link is broken. The page of Import Federal Orders doesn't have it: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-imports/how-to-import/import-federal-orders

From the google search description, the order started, "Dec 23, 2015 — Federal Order for U.S. Imports of seeds and fruits of mango, (Mangifera indica) hosts of the mango seed weevil (Sternochetus mangiferae ( ..." So potentially other Mangifera species would be exempt, if this is still in effect.

The NAPPRA list prohibits importation of Mangifera except seeds and cut flowers and greenery: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-imports/nappra

I checked the APHIS import instructions for another list of prohibited genera, but don't see one: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-imports/buy-plants-seeds-online/seeds-additional-requirements

Maybe it's allowed?

So we are only supposed to make 'normal' posts here? And who decides what's normal?

I'm done here already! Ciaooooo

We can define the word normal. In this instance normal is decided based on the typical type of posts and comments in this forum. We would like this forum to not be full of fake videos and pictures like Facebook.

Please try to refrain from posting videos that are clearly fake on a regular basis.

Thanks!

I think there are lots of people interested in growing this. In Costa Rica I know of lots of projects that have planted Wani and many others would love to get the material.
We have tried this fruit in Borneo and it is terrific. I can’t wait to get it into production in Costa Rica.

I’ve had the Lila and weeping from Frankie’s the last couple years. I don’t have a ton of caimito experience but I remember liking weeping quite a bit. The lady told me that Lila is better so I ended up changing a few out last year and I regretted it lol. I can attach photos of weeping fruit
