The Tropical Fruit Forum

Some great ideas I didn't think about solar powered vent fans at top, shade cloth might not be an option on tall design unless below grade and large shade cloth kinda pricy, building into side of hill  seems like it would moderate temps in winter and summer both or going six to eight feet below grade seems like it could help alot, and yes I would use misters also if I struggled to keep temps down on 105 degree days outside temps.

Any avo graft will die if it gets cold enough doesn't matter how cold hardy the seed is, the trick is protecting graft and top growth esp the first several years in the ground, if tree is older and graft is protected then with major dieback the tree can come back, lights tents water electric heaters they all can save a life if used properly.

She lives in fresno,  im not sure if shes headed back sat night or sunday

Queen scions must have been a hot ticket today she went to your table and they were all gone.

William, yes i did see that video and thanks for sharing it, i wanted to get a scionon but they arent cheap,  does anyone know if the quality scionnon blades will interchange with the zenport zj60 model ?, the zenport brand is much cheaper tool but ive heard complaints with the blades that come stock with the zenport brand.

Thanks for sharing that jack, i see in that report its rated as fair to good flavor , i just wondered if anyone that tasted one before would rate it as excellent, jack did you say you have a tree now ? how old and large is tree ?

I have acres in foothills out of central valley cali so will be planted in ground there down the road, i grow in my house now, have no greenhouse till i get moved.

Is the Fuerte seed larger than bacon have the fuerte seeds grown as fast and as large as bacon seedlings and with shipping in 8 dollar flat rate how much does it end up being per seed im not sure how many seeds typically fit in a 8 dollar box?Also when will you next have any nishikawa or ardith or queen or other rare scions for sale ?

To nexxogen, let us know how your stewart seeds do for you ive tryed mexicola before and got a very small- slow growing seedling, but seed was super tiny so i guess it that fits,the seedling in pot though so suspect if in the ground it would likely grow much better.

Are they average to large zutano?im trying to get on the larger side if possible, i thinking seeds will last decent 30 to 90 days or so if you have any room in a fridge stored in moist paper towel in plastic bags.shoot me a price per seed and if they have to be picked up in what town or if they can be shipped.

Tucsonken thanks for writing more detail on taste of aravaipa fruit it sounds like its not too bad i hear mixed reports what it taste like, it doesnt sound any worse than taste of a duke, i have both trees in my collection as i have an interest in cold hardy types that taste decent, im wondering if aravaipa fruit is about same as a bacon fruit which can have a bit of watery taste and mild taste.Do you know if they have an interest in selling me a few aravaipa seeds and what was the seed like on the small or large side ?
