) and I'm ready to start potting my tropicals into fabric pots. However, I'm at a loss as to what brand to use (smart pots, rootmakers, what type of rootmaker etc.). What do you guys recommend?
I ordered from Wellspring Gardens twice. Each time the tissue culture plants arrived very healthy and packed very carefully. I was very pleased
I ordered Kona Sugarloaf. I am going to try to stick with the pineapple plants that have serrated / sharp edges on the leaves. I feel this might deter wildlife from eating the pineapple

The sharp edges have never helped- the critters dont seem to care.....if you do a search on here, you can see a photo, posted by me, of some damage ... Wear long sleeves because thopse spines will hurt!
This thread's like juicy gossip but a little unusual in that it's directly from the source ... lol
I'll pitch in a little ... I was finally able to procure a grafted Longkong (circa 2007 ) and I put it in a pot so big I couldn't bring inside to overwinter ... thinking "Well I'll never have to stress it out by transplanting, it'll just grow into a big tree in this", lesson learned ... graduate your pot sizes, and keep the tree pruned in the long run.
plantlover13: lol your gripe is hilarious. You should confuse them even more by saying "some of my plants are hermphrodites and some are bisexual", they wouldn't know the science behind that if their lives depended on it.
Ladies and Gents,
I have may have secured EVIARC Sweet budwood. I do not want to blow this opportunity so I would like to attempt to solicit the help of an experienced jackfruit grafter. I have managed to get my mango percentages to a fairly respectable rate but I have never done jackfruit before and fear all of the latex will give me problems. If anyone is really good at grafting jackfruit, please pm me and I will offer to pay for your services or trade you the 2nd EVIARC Sweet Jackfruit that is successfully grafted. Needless to say, I will keep the first to myself.
Dont listen to those tree huggers!!Get rid of it, evidently your father-in-law is still haunting you. Heck go ahead & chainsaw it down or call the the local paranormal folks to stop the tormenting haunting. It has been unproductive right, for sentimental value why not plant a productive new mango that you & your wife can enjoy & remember together; a pleasant experience together. Rather than the continue tormenting of a mango for the dead that had produce fungus for 40 plus year. Let the dead died in peace, let the living grow fruit to enjoy.
I dont think Any member here grow fruit trees for the great fungus. Grow a passionfruit & let it cover the tree if you want the haunting to continue, at least you will have passionfruit that you & your wife can enjoy on your father in law tree haunting your lawn.
Well then you can also use KNO3 potassiumnitrate and it will bloom. Maybe it even produces a mango.
I think good fertilizer has more effect on a mango to bloom then cold temps. My tree's flower before the cold temps/dry months are coming to us.
If i were you i would let the tree grow first untill a decent size so it can bear fruits. Just be patient. Better have real mango's instead of flowers only is what i 'm thinking. Just put it in a bigger pot, give it Nitrogen and as much sun/heat as you can get and wait.
