Sorry guys, I had to pull down the list for now, with recent changes, life has gotten too hectic. I hope to be able to start shipping again come April if not sooner, Thank you all for the concern and the kind words.
Cheers,
-Ethan

Impressive list Ethan.
-
Ethan - you say some are seedlings and some make no mention of the propagation method...could you please clarify for everyone what the propagation methods are for all plants.
-
Good point Rob, added it to the list. I also hope to start posting some grafted stuff in the near future.
cheers,
-Ethan
-
Ethan, I would be interested in some of the grafted tropical fruits. would love to see what you got there.
-
Thanks N/Z.
Behl, as soon as they are ready I'll update the list.
cheers,

Here is a picture of a 16oz. mangosteen and a 32oz. marang plus a standard soda can.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o8/red_sea_me/familyphoto622.jpg)
Most the stuff in 16oz and 32oz (plus 1 gal durian) is about 8-9mo. old, the larger 1-2 gallon stuff is about 20 mo. and I think the oldest are the chempedak and macadamias at about 3yrs.
let me know if you have anymore questions,

Very nice Ethan! I wish I had room for all those. I'm still interested.

No problem Phucvu,
most stuff goes out USPS priority so shipping just depends on what you get. One person paid about $9 for their shipping another is paying close to $40.
Thank you JF, I'm still waiting on some things for you but let me know if you need anything else.

tempting but....no thanks Ethan. I have too many things going on. I love to grow some of those garcinas and lichis I just don't have the room. Thanks for the offer.
JF

Phucvu,
no ebay, just a guy w/some extra plants and I use paypal.
I'm glad they made it in good shape DT, I was a little worried about the weather.
Thank you for your kind comments and order, let me know if you'd like anything else.
-Ethan

I have had the opportunity to trade plants with Ethan. He, indeed, is a packaging wiz. I have never seen meticulous wrapping and packaging the likes of his. Well, maye the folks at Apple are in his league. Keep up the good work, Ethan.

Thank you for the kind words Harry, always a pleasure trading w/you too.
best wishes in your tropical paradise,

Ethan, curious as to how you keep tropicals from over heating in Central California. Don't you often get over 100F? Do you just use shade cloth for super hot summer spells or do you have some kind of cooling system?
-
Yes Oscar, it does get very hot and dry here, I have certain plants under shade cloth or in filtered light. Surprisingly things like durian and mangosteen dont seem to mind........yet. I'm going to try some ideas to bump the humidity this year, we'll see how that works.

-Ethan
I was thinking of setting up mister emitters in between the trees. Have them on an on off cycle. Its great to have a source of CA adapted tropical fruit seedlings.
-
I forgot to mention Oscar that I'm hoping since these plants have been growing in my harsh environment from little sproutlings that they may adapt in at least a minor way to my (and other CA) conditions.
N/Z I was thinking misters too maybe morning and night?

-Ethan
I was thinking on and off cycled through out the day, perhaps run 15min once an hour perhaps for 12-14 hours. Though the heat may make it ineffective during the long hot days of summer. A morning and evening cycle wouldnt hurt, I think it would be only beneficial. I notice my container plants love to be misted and fertilized after 7, they perk up nicely at night.
During the day it seems all the plants are trying their best to prevent evapotranspiration, so misting unless constant may have less of an effect, since the stomata are mostly closed (no idea which is best yet, just experiments I want to try).
-
Ethan,
I have been running a very small home humidifier in my 6x8 greenhouse at night and I have had amazing growth on my 5 foot mangosteen and 5 foot cacao, all of the other tropicals are doing real good as well. During the day I have a shade cloth covering and if I keep the door close d the humidity stays in the 90's.
Mark
-
The only problem about misting in the day is water on the leaf surface can act as a magnifying glass.
5' mangosteen, wow Mark! With as hot as we get I need to find a balance of humidity containment, temperature control and light availability, w/out using a bunch of power (no AC for the plants).
-Ethan
-
For the misting, I have heard about the magnify glass effect (some people say it makes no difference). I think with the smaller particles it would be much less of a problem. Especially since the water droplets would evaporate pretty fast. What I do to increase humidity passively, is place water saucers in between the plants making sure the water gets ample sun light. When I hand water the plants the excess water falls into the saucers and evaporates during the day.
I find that surrounding the arid sensitive trees, up against larger leafy trees seems to help a lot. My larger pomegranate trees produce nice micro climates for the other plants such as the kiwi vines, dragon fruit, and lychees.
Kiwi vines like the water and are heavy drinkers during the hotter days of summer. I found the SWC container provided a huge benefit to the kiwi during summer. The lychee also has very little sunburn/heat stress in the SWC. I originally thought that the lack of humidity would never give me healthy sub tropical trees. However there seems to be only certain trees which can't adapt to arid conditions (Theobroma sp. seems to be one of those that can't adapt for me).

I've heard that 105F is about the temperature these plants can tolerate and after that go downhill. What is your top temperature in your greenhouse?
-
Here you are Phucvu,
mine are not as big as in the link, I've already sold some so more in the 5-6" range for green and 3-4" range for red. The reds are definitely less vigorous at least as juveniles. The plus side for mine, you can almost buy 2 of mine for one of his, shipping is a little cheaper and my seeds come from a world famous annona grower in FL. I'd mention his name but then I'd probably owe him royalties........I probably owe him a few cold Medalias as it is.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o8/red_sea_me/familyphoto767.jpg)
Oscar, I've seen 115F in my lifetime not much is happy over 100F. My greenhouses are temporary ones, during the rest of the year one is a swing arbor with passion fruit the other a grape arbor.
-Ethan
-
Yes, most of the small stuff is being grow indoors in South facing windows, inside makeshift greenhouses to protect them from the heater (for now). The larger stuff is either in an outdoor GH or under the open sky depending. The sugar apples have been growing pretty well but are starting to put out some serious growth now that there is more light available. Seeds can be a pain sometimes, I've lost many of them and some just take their sweet time. I am growing diallum indum, (velvet tamarind) I had one seed sprout pretty quick, 2 others took almost a year. So 3 out of 15 seeds sprout and 10 months of seed tending, these things better taste good! ;D
let me know if you have any other questions,
-Ethan
-
Phucvu, I just reread the link, they list them in the 5-6" range so they are similar sizes. So same size, almost 2 for the price of one, great genetic stock and cheaper shipping.......how can you go wrong? 8)
cheers,
-Ethan
-
well my seedlings aren't quite dead yet and there's no minimum order from that guy :D
-
Hi Ethan,
Great list you've got there! Are you also selling seeds for these varieties?
-Luke
-
Thank you Luke, I'm sorry but I don't have any seeds.
-Ethan
-
Thanks Ethan. I will keep you in mind. There are definitely some things on your list that I am interested in growing(need to see if i'll actually have room for more plants hahah). I would much rather order from a forum member(with a good reputation so far) instead of an unknown ebay seller!
-Luke
-
Thank for your interest Luke, I imagine most of us are out of room for plants yet more just keep showing up. ;D I hope everyone is happy with their plants and they really take off for them this growing season.
let me know if you have any questions,
-Ethan
PS, the list changes so be on the lookout for new additions. :)
-
Are these your sugar apple seedlings or were they purchased from Ethan, phucvu?
-
Thank you guys,
Phucvu, your seedlings look fine, they should grow up nice and healthy. You've some other great plants, you should post more about them on the open forum. :)
Thank you Tim, I hope there was no ill intent by Phucvu but I'm honored by your words.
BTW
unfortunately I can't afford more spaces for the awesome looking trees Ethan has to offer.
many of them may be grown in pots. ;D
I'm hoping to update the list this weekend so maybe I'll find something to tempt you guys with? 8)
thanks again,
-Ethan
-
Check out the new listings and new prices plus more to come.
thank you,
-Ethan
-
Ethan knows how to ship his plants, I received some plants in the past and they arrived perfect.
Mark in Chula Vista
-
I just got my plants from Ethan and they are fabulous! All in great condition and well established, I cannot recommend him highly enough (and he was able to hand deliver them to San Diego)!
Thanks Ethan!
Richard
-
Thank you both for your kind comments, it was great to meet you guys too! Hopefully next trip I'll have more time, I'd love to come visit your gardens. I hope all your plants grow like crazy in their new San Diego homes (lucky plants).
cheers,
-Ethan
-
I updated the list and posted some new items including some grafted things.
thank you to everyone for your interest,
-Ethan
-
I updated and added to the list, thanks for checking it out.
-Ethan

Ethan,
The plants arrived today, as you predicted, and were in fantastic shape once again. I potted up the Honey Heart and covered it with plastic, as you suggested. Any suggestions on how much sun I should give the garcinias? Thanks again!
James
-
I'm glad everything made it in good shape James, here are some excellent tips on caring for the bare root.
http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=634.msg7771#msg7771 (http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=634.msg7771#msg7771)
The garcinias have been growing in filtered light, outside. After they settle in consider potting them up, they are getting big!
I hope they grow crazy in their new home!
-Ethan
-
Just received my order ;D from Ethan of 12 plants of various sizes including 16oz, 32oz, 1gal and 2gal. Everything arrived terrifically! The man knows how to pack plants. Took me 30 minutes to unwrap everything :-)
Will do business again!
-Luke
-
Thank you for your kind recommendation Luke, it only took you 30 mins to unwrap? ;)
good luck with your new plants,
-Ethan
-
Thanks Ethan, all the plants I got were in great condition and wonderfully packed! The Garcinia collection is wonderful; time will tell which species adapt best to being a mile above sea level...
Kevin
-
Thank you for the kind words Kevin. I'm glad everything made it OK and it'll be fun to see how things grow a mile high and in your basement. The first fruiting mangosteen in CO? you can do it (unlees Luke beats you :)).
happy growing,
-Ethan

Received 4 trees today via Ethan=fabulous! Fantastic packaging, in fact it took me 15 minutes just to cut through everything safely and remove the plants ;D.
They look great and I look forward to the day I can show off my tropical beauties to my Indiana friends.
Buy with confidence!!!
Thanks Ethan!
-
Having received plant material from Ethan, there is no doubt that he provides the absolute ultimate in packing care. I was amazed to see what he sent me and how he sent it. He obviously puts much time, thought and love into his packaging.

Possibly stupid question, how do i find your updated list?
Not so stupid , I only noticed this post today and was also looking for the updated list . Gotta find a way to get some of these plants here ...
Ethan , I am impressed !! I really mean it !!
-
Definitely not a stupid question acoff87, I try to keep the list on the front page of this thread updated as best as possible. Thank you for you interest and let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for the kind words Luc, I wish I could ship you some.
Cheers,

I do have a 7-in-1 cherimoya that is 24 inches tall. In started it for my friend but now I almost want to keep that gem. I got my behl, pierce, booth, el bumpo, sobor, fino, and Selma. Its growing like weed, will post pictures all my grafts very soon.
-
I just received a shipment from Ethan I can't say enough obout the quality of his plants and his packaging is top notch. A nice guy too:) Thanks Ethan.

Behl, my two 3 years old tree have 10 varieties and my African Pride has 7 atemoya varieties. You are better off work with establish trees than small seedlings.....plant the mother tree and then add as you have with your other three mature trees.
-
JF, are you worried about some taking over the others given their vigor? Its possible that it may be an issue.
-
JF, are you worried about some taking over the others given their vigor? Its possible that it may be an issue.
No I'm worry about losing the tree. I grafted a seedling last year for my neightbor with 4 varieties. The tree grew very well while in the container. Planted it in sept. and has lost two varieties since pushing out new growth last month. The tree is looking scrawny and on its way to slow death.
-
Thank you Saltycayman for your kind words, I hope the plants enjoy their new home.
Wow guys, that is some serious multigrafting.
-
I added some new plants, thank you for looking.

Hi Ethan:
I'd like to get 4 of your Rambutans. But I think express mail to FL is best. Where and how do I pay?

Many times a day I find myself drooling over Ethans list.
-
Thanks for the latest plants Ethan, they are settling in to their new home nicely. The Mac nuts , Black Sapote , and white pineapple you sent 9 months ago are thriving as well. All of the plants arrived with root structure that was a perfect time to transplant.

Just an FYI. Last I heard from Ethan was on 04/05 and he was having some serious problems with his computer and probably not out of the wood yet.

Hey Ethan, Long time no see.
Im still growing bananas/ cados/ Lychee/ Longan/ guavas in Modesto....Cutdown my mighty Cherimoya a couple years ago....
But kinda got bored with fruit for awhile. Darn 20 year old seedling Jaboticabas wont fruit for me, yet miracle fruit ... fruit like crazy with the right tlc. My soil tends to be on the rich side????
My Latest passon are ficus, I see you have a large Ficus roxburgii for sale... do you think it would withstand being bare root shipped to modesto?
I have a couple smallish ones but I need something to go into my garden now.
My fav plant at the moment is Ficus Dammaropsis.... inground made it through our frigid early dec weather no prob.... ones i had in pots toasted at a protected 26f... they dont like being in cold pots.... though they dig full sun here.
Let me know if you still have the Ficus for sale?

Sorry about the crash, I sent you a PM. Also I forgot to ask if you have any avocado scion's too.
Thanks
Good luck with the computer.

Is Ethan back yet? still waiting.. :-\
-
Woooo Hooo, I'm alive!!! I finally upgraded my computer after 12 years, what a difference! Plus a few other internet issues have been fixed so hopefully smooth sailing for another decade. Thank you everyone for your kind words and patience, it'll take me just a bit to go through all the emails and PMs and the I'll start shipping things out.
Jeff, glad you found the forum, how are the banyan and lychee doing? The ficus does not like to dry out and will drop it's leaves so I'd guess it'd be OK for barerooting but it need to be repotted so I'm not sure how much dirt weight is left? You know how aggressive ficus roots can be. Send me a PM and we can figure something out.
Thanks again everyone!
-
Nice selection, when do you anticipate the marang seedlings being available?
-
I believe I have some marang ready now Paulis.
-
Hiya Ethan! Those orange DF cutting i got from you are all very happy with new shoots growing off them! 100% rate with those. Thanks again. Still learning as i go... they are all in a communal pot, now i need to seperate them. The Luc's G is happy here too, with a few more leaves then it arrived with.
Thanks for the great plants and the advice!
-
Thanks SC Koop,
I'm glad the plants are so happy in their new home.
-
Where is Ethan? He's been MIA!!
-
Sorry guys, I had to pull down the list for now, hopefully in a few months things will settle back down and I can start shipping again.
Thanks for everything,

Anyone heard from Ethan? Seems he hasn't been here in over a year. I hope he's okay. It's sad to see a good member go.

I exchanged email with him a couple of months back. Seems like he's busy with other things (not sure what) and isn't doing fruit stuff as much any more.
