If it is a seedling then it is its own variety so it would not be possible to ID

The elusive Buttercream mango and Guava mango on turpentine rootstock finally arrive in Southern California.
We'll see how these do in SoCal next year.
Where did you get those from?

i would love to see photos too.
i now have 2 Sherwoods (from you)
1 un-named
1 Li
and 1 Coco
the largest is about 8 or 9ft tall, but still very young (2 yrs)
i cant imagine these things 30ft tall and loaded with fruit.
some of them are 4 to 5 ft away from each other.
i will have to keep the ones in front (Southern) shorter
so the ones in back can get more light. when they get larger i guess.
this is the top of my Coco
it grew the fastest and produced the most.
(this year anyway)
How do the Coco taste?

I think everyone agrees that taste is subjective. I prefer cherimoyas to atemoyas but they can be pretty close to taste. Cherimoyas tend to be sweeter and more creamy in texture. Some good varieties to seek out:
El Bumpo
Orton
Sabor
Honeyhart
Pierce
Nata
the list of good cherimoyas is large, but those are some good ones that come to mind.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Must have mulberries (looking for new varieties)
« on: April 15, 2017, 09:19:23 PM »Does anyone know what kind of morus nigra variety does dave wilson nursery has?
I didnt like the taste no sweetnes detected but sour... its been in the ground for almost a year --this tree grows pretty quick....
was wondering if it has something to do with the maturity?
im looking to pug it & graft it to a better variety....
is it possible say for instance graft a persian to a morus nigra(dwarf)?
I believe they have persian and black beauty.
the taste should be close to a blackberry, at what color are you picking them?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Did I graft correct
« on: March 29, 2017, 12:46:43 AM »It's hard to say. The typically grafting season is around June for us in CA. If the graft failed it should turn black/brown...
Wow with all the CRFG scion exchanges in Jan/Feb, I thought early spring is the prime grafting season with a few exceptions (say citrus). What do you typically graft in June?
I was referring to mango only, which is an exception like citrus. However, I think a few forum members have had success in the colder months in grafting mangos

It's hard to say. The typically grafting season is around June for us in CA. If the graft failed it should turn black/brown in a few weeks. The graft won't heal completely for a few months. Also do you have anything other that parafilm holding the graft union together?
Best,
Eric

Nice write up Simon! Looks like quite a few fruit!
I don't recognize most of the cherimoya varities, and they mostly a collection of Ashok's seedlings?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: A review of gary's best Top Pot from Laguna Hills nursery
« on: December 12, 2016, 08:01:07 PM »Gary is also just a nice guy. Knows his stuff, especially when it comes to soil. I buy odds and ends from him though his selection is not necessarily for crazy zone pushers. He stocks mostly plants he knows will thrive in the orange county area. Good selection of those. Nice source of figs too.
I agree, Gary is the man.

Will do Simon.
As always I'm jealous of your collection Frank!
Fyliu: the said that the event was still a go as of now so hopefully it stays that way. There was a good amount of people, probably around 40 or so around 10:30 when I arrived and there were more trickling in. I didn't stay long, just tasted the 14 or so varieties and left. Persimmons, especially the crunchy ones which they were sampling all tend to taste the same but I'm glad I went
