Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: 5 gallon avocados on sale @ homedepot
« on: October 18, 2013, 02:21:47 AM »
A bit off topic but I noticed that Home Depot dropped their price on citrus to $17.something per 5 gallon. Buy 3 trees = $51. If you join their garden club email you can get $5 off a garden purchase of $50 or more. Three trees equals = $46 or $15 each tree. Not bad. Lowe's could price match it also plus 10% off which leads back to $46.

I had a surprise at Home Depot yesterday. I went looking at their fruit trees and I found a Chocolate persimmon tree for $26.95. needs to be potted up but otherwise looks good! Bought that sucker today. I'm hoping its a Tsurunoko kind and not the Maru kind.

« on: July 04, 2013, 01:19:57 AM »
Carrie. It's green like all the time. Prevents fruit thieves from picking your fruit off cause they don't know when the fruit is ripe when it really is (when it turns somewhat yellow)! Also the tree is somewhat compact. Also you may want to look at growing loquat!

« on: May 11, 2013, 02:35:52 AM »I'M ASHAMED to admit I don't think I've ever had a loquat,You need to get on that. It's a shame that loquats arn't that popular as they don't ship well. But they sure are delicious!!!! This is the first year my Big Jim is fruiting and I'm loving it! If only they produced multiple times a year. That would be fantastic!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Shipping from California to other states
« on: May 05, 2013, 05:19:37 PM »1. How do you get around requirement of phyto cert (legally)?Have you ever thought about building a trebuchet?
2. What conditions are best for meeting legal requirements (i.e. bareroot, soil-less medium, etc)?
3. Are there plant/tree species/genus that should just be avoided all together (i.e. citrus)?
4. Is there a "Cliff's Notes" version of the rules & regs for interstate transport of regulated plant material?
Thanks in advance,
Build one, take it the the border between Nevada and California, load up your plants, and launch them across state lines.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: SoCal guys, what are your most vigorous mango trees?
« on: May 04, 2013, 01:51:36 PM »Xeno, Timoteyo grows very well but it take a few years to get going. They also flower and fruit like crazy. The problem with the tree is that the fruits are mediocre at best. I will sample some more in the end of July and report the results. Also, it an alternate bearer......heavy one year very light the other.Great. Now I want to throw my tree away. :/ Well I hope they taste better this year then last years fruit.

« on: May 01, 2013, 12:25:08 AM »I use no cup with water and put directly in a pot in potting soil...I did the 'put directly into potting soil' thing. Zero new growth for two months. I then pulled the plants out and stuck them into a cup filled with water 5 days ago. I checked today and I'm getting new white root growth. I suggest you try the cup of water method Rtreid. Or try both methods.
