To compare
My Thai seedling flowered for the first time this year after 10 years and some small fruits are forming now. Also fruits are forming on my grafted branch with Makok variety in the same seedling after 4 years.

« on: May 14, 2021, 07:00:46 AM »Thank you, that sounds great! But I am still unsure how it is with shipping seeds from countries outside of the EU into the EU. It seems that if the seeds do not have phyto certificate, they will be sent back?I had big problems importing seeds outside EU

In my area, island of Crete, they grow very well all over the island, but the trees set fruit only in very west part where i live. The pollinators are the same.

My huble opinion : during flowering there must be a combination of different factors like temperature, humidity and present of insects for pollination

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Df varieties?
« on: November 03, 2020, 12:31:05 PM »Thank you for the valuable infosI have 2 df varieties labeled as George and Oung Ong. I can't find any information about them
That's likely George from the late George Emerich who was a prominent CRFG member. It's a white flesh variety, very sweet, but not a Vietnamese variety. I believe it is neither self fertile nor self compatible.
As for Quang Ong variety, it may be QOSF, also known as Quang Ong Self Fertile, which was later renamed as American Beauty. Magenta flesh, self fertile and self pollinating. However, he grows a lot of different varieties.
Hope this helps.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Germinating mamey sapote seeds
« on: November 02, 2020, 04:36:57 PM »Actually no, those fruits I found in one grocery store ,which has them only this time of the year. Havent seen mameys in other stores anywhere in Bulgaria , I bought five fruits and have 6 seeds to experiment with.15 min max. soaking in 3% hydrogen peroxide You can find it in pharmacies. Lucky you can find such a kind of fruits there. Here i never have seen them in grocery stores
Is this 15 minutes or seconds for the hydrogen peroxide ?
Right now i'm soaking them in water for 2-3 days ,pryor planting .

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Df varieties?
« on: November 02, 2020, 04:27:42 PM »By George Im guessing they mean George's White. Said to be sweeter than the standard Vietnamese white variety but it does require cross pollination with ankther variety to set fruit. Fruit is around a pound to 1.5lbs. For me it is a slow grower but thats onky my experience.Thanks for the info
Not fruited yet so i have to wait until it sets fruits than i can confirm your statement

« on: September 17, 2020, 07:07:39 AM »Its always difficult with no flowers or fruit and no supporting information. I will take a wild stab and say tamarillo.Not flowered yet. It seems to originate from Solanaceae family, so your opinion must be right Mike. It is my first plant from this family except tomatoes plants

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Gin berry (glycosmis pentaphylla) fresh seeds available
« on: July 27, 2020, 03:19:42 AM »I have fresh seeds of gin berry, fruits were harvested from my tree. They produce a lot of fruits even though they are grown in a pot (I live in zone 6 and I have a good amount of fruits). The flavor is tasty, sweet, aromatic, and spicy.Hi
Price is 3€ per 4 seeds and postage fees are 2 € (or 4,5 with tracking number). I keep them in moist coco coir so the germination rate should be 100 %.
do you know the speed of germination of the seeds and the requirements for small seedlings during summer or winter? How long does it takes for the first fruits from planting of the new seedling?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Advice needed for white sapote
« on: June 28, 2020, 04:45:40 AM »Mike, in case i manage to travel back home in Fall, I could try to send you scions, so that you can graft. If it does not get very cold in you area, then grafting at this time of the year should not be a problem...You are a good knower of the habits of the cultivar. Last year was the second season with fruits of my tree. The tree had hundreds of them, small ones without seeds. Only 4-5 as i remember were full size and with seeds. Do you suggest to thin out or it is a lack of pollination that behaviour? About scions depends on weather Let see, keep in contact
I consider Pike a nice tasting one, cero bitterness, but it has two drawbacks from my experince: I have to thin out the fruit, or otherwise I will get hundreds of small fruit (like plum), which are hard to enjoy, instead of apple-big fruit. Also when you pick the fruit, it gets soft very fast, so no chance for commertial pourposes. But as a backyard tree, I can recommend it.

« on: June 25, 2020, 07:33:19 AM »The season is October or November if the pollination goes wellin Europe the only variety i can find easily is mcdill. Some spanish nurseries have Pike variety (but i dont think it is worth it) The amazing varieties they have in usa i have no clue how to get them hereOnly hand in hand, otherwise the custom will seize the packet. I have a huge tree Pike variety
Do you have any seeldings or seeds available?
