Hi 3L,

I am still interested in the longan. PM Sent

Yes! I planted two cuttings in 15 gallon pots, and they are doing very well.  My Mother-in-Law has them in 15 gallon pots for about 12 years now.  They are still fruiting like crazy...about 80 fruits from 4 pots.

Yes, It is a Wampee fruit tree. I used to like it back in Vietnam, but not any more.  My sister has one tree in Arcadia, Ca. and I only have one or two occasionally. It is sweet and sour at the same time.

Last month, I used a big plastic pumpkin pie container to germinate my Atemoya seeds.  I put the seeds between two layers of moist paper towels. I used moist paper towels to get rid of the occasionally white mold.  I saw the root comes out nicely in about a week. Your seeds should be fine, just have to wait a bit longer to germinate.  I have 16 seedlings ranging from 3 to 6 inches.

Thanks for your efford of trying to find the seeds.  Please let me know when you have some seeds of these varieties.

I ate the seeds all these years.  They are great with that nutty taste.  I bought a 25lbs. jackfruit last week for about $13.00!
The trick to have an easy peel seed shell is to add a dash of salt to the pot while boiling them.

The brownish liquid in the bottle is fish emulsion, like a fertilizer.  It is really concentrated that you could probably smell it 30 feet away when applied. It is not the fish sauce that I have been using all my life on daily basis.

Just wandering what kind of soil do you use?  How are you normally consumed it?  Thanks!

I would like 2 Dr White and 2 Pierce Scions.  Can I pick up in person at your place in El Monte?

It must be the relatively warm temperatures here in So. Cal.  It would be about 95 degrees in Temple City on this Thanksgiving Day.
My air layered longan tree in pot pushed out new branches, but the ones that are in the ground did not.
My potted mango trees also have new grow of large leaves.

Miracle,
I love your your trellis layout! So effector, yet economical! I just made one myself. 

I'm going to add some supplemental lighting and heat. Prehaps a reptile heat lamp? I haven't been able to get df to flower or even grow much inside the greenhouse. I suspect it doesn't like filtered sunlight, since my greenhouse has glass that reduces uv. It grows nicely outside in direct sunlight and hot weather. I want to grow it successfully this time. I'm so sick of nasty store-bought df. I am growing "Red Zamorano" and "Purple Haze". Fingers crossed!
Thanks for posting!

Thanks, sildanani
Your trellis is very nice too.  Good luck with your df
FYI my white df will flowers two crops per year, one in June and one in late August. Red df will flowers three crops: late March,  June and late August.

Wow, it's a miracle alright.  How do you get DF to fruit so many time per year?

thanks!

Picked up some organic California Keitts at Aldi for 39 cents.    I plan to sprout a few seeds
