The Tropical Fruit Forum

Nice pics your garden is looking very healthy and happy:) those waterboxes are very interesting I haven't seen them before and will check out the site for details. I also haven't heard of cotton meal, is fish bone meal superior to normal bone meal?
How do you find the oak leaves for mulch I will have an overabundance of oak leaves very soon so can choose oak eucalyptus pine needles or random autumn assortment.
Looking forward to your other pics.

Beautiful fruit! jealous I can't taste any.

Thank you Coconut I will try them all in a small pot of sphagnum

Thanks I can't wait to try!
Ivbeen enamoured with moringa nutritional benefits for a long time! I hope to one day make a green protein shake to replace my whey also mixing with nettle leaf and hemp seed powder:)

Welcome georgesunny glad to have you on the forum iv also just started here and am learning so much from experts such as Yourself:)
You speak.of using moringa as a soil amendment I have read about using moringa as a Foliar spray for nutrients and as a growth regulator similar to kelp?
 Have you any experience with this?

Thanks Greenthumb I'm getting seeds again soon I will sow in full sun this time.

I had month old seedlings fry in the sun but temps were around 32c and my altitude makes the sun very intense! I stupidly moved them from under shade cloth though so I'm not sure if they may be acclimatised to the sun if they germinated in it as long as they don't dry out.
Anyone  germinate seeds in full sun?

Thank you for the pic. That 45 gallon is huge is it possible with two people to move it when full?

Yes not much info at all! The seed source  is silverhillseeds.co.za they are always very good.

I recently ordered some seeds locally and stumbled across some interesting indigenous fruits in the family Annonacea so I ordered them but info online is very scarce.

Uvaria lucida( Evergr climber/shrub, elliptic grey lvs with prominent veins, heads of fleshy green fl, hairy orange brown fruits. Sow Sp. Zone 10.

Ok thank you for checking I will try a different browser:)

I received the "dwarf" and normal mangosteen seeds in the post today after about a month in transit. Both lots had at least four seeds sprouting so I have put them in pots barely covered(is this the correct method?)labeled them separately and put them in my germination cupboard. Now will wait to see any differences in growth.

I tried to post pics of the sprouting seeds and a letter about the "dwarf" from the seller but whenever I try to the linked site won't accept my pics iv tried big and small file sizes with no luck. If someone wouldn't mind walking me through how to post pics or where I can find how to post? I have already looked in the FAQ thanks in advance. Don't know if the problem.could be because I'm trying to post images from a smart phone?
