I'm glad somebody finally did this. I wish it would have been me. But thanks for the report. Mango + mangosteen together? Two of the best fruits on the planet. Luc will be immortalized with tropical fruit fame. Raul should at least get a footnote in that eternal fame.
are they selling the 3-gallon for $15? if so that's a whole lot better than $50...
I will have to disagree with dwfl. Fruitscapes has one planted and it puts out a lot of guavas. I tried some a few times and they were some of the best guavas I've had in a long time. Smell is delightful. They just got done air layering a bunch last month. I bought one and it's fruiting now.
very South Florida - zip 33165. so close and yet so far away! if there was someone willing to pickup and package and ship a plant and it didn't end up costing more than the $50 plus shipping I'd pay on ebay that would be amazing! but it's a pretty big favor to ask.
what size are they offering? if it's one gallon or smaller it's a huge temptation.
sounds terrific thanks for the reply! I don't suppose Fruitscapes ships plants...
So I had a young TR Hovey plant, and I am soooo mad that after a flood this Winter (yes, I said Winter, in the middle of the dry season - thanks sea level rise!), it killed my TR Hovey after it was probably months away from its first fruit.
Anyway, learned my lesson, I now want to plant a bunch in various areas of the yard to see which is less prone to brackish water flood so I can get fruit. But buying a bunch of plants is expensive, and I don't know of a local supplier so they'd each have to be shipped. Plus, since I've never tasted it, I'm not even sure if I'll like it enough to spend that much.
*I see lots of advertisements for seeds - but do TR Hovey seeds come true? I also of course wonder how reliable these sellers are in term of correct variety, but I prefer being able to buy online anonymously on Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay, to making arrangements with people on the forum. (Recommendation of specific sellers on any of those 3 sites that you know would be the correct variety and viable seed would also be appreciated.)
Dwfl Rollinias are filling like a pile of bananas that one must of filled you up!!!
