Ok, so I thought about not selling any more loquats this year. But, I had to cut down my KT3 tree since it got to large next to my block wall so now the tree is only 5 ft tall. This tree is over 25 yrs old, always has very good fruits, white flesh, different the other white/yellow flesh loquats I have. Fruit is elongated, skin peels easy. It was one of my top 3 favorites to eat. Now that I have over 20 new seedling trees that have fruited, there are a few more (4) that is sweeter than this one.

You will want this variety since it is a vigorous grower, will give lots of fruits.

I will only sell it for this week until Friday, no more sale of this one after that.

For Sale:
1. KT3-Sheri Lynn loquat cuttings, $5 each.
2. Cuttings will be 6-11" long (3/8"-1/2" diameter) for CA residence, shipping cost of $11.
3. Cuttings for non-CA residence will be 6"-8" long (3/8"-1/2" diameter), in USPS small flat rate box. Cost is $11
4. Sale is for lower 48 states only.
5. You must be a forum member for 6 months minimum.

===============================================================

I will post some photos of the fruits later. There will be plenty of cuttings since the tree was 18 ft tall.

I think this is the species of aphid, that is wrecking havoc in my greenhouse right now. I am looking into using a bio grade product called Naturalis, which contains a strain of a flesh eating fungus called Beauveria Bassiana. On the product, it does not mention whether it could be used and is effective on whooly aphids, i wonder if i should use this , or go whith a unnorganic pesticide instead?
They do not even blink when i use neem oil, i feel like i am applying sun tan on them. I have quails in the greenhouse, because of which i not to use strong chemicals, but i do use them as a last resort.
Has someone used the above mentioned product, on wholly aphids? I would like to hear your experience with it, as i am a bit worried on introducing this fungus into the greenhouse system.
As a side question, how do you control whooly aphids?

JCorte, Didn’t know about the spice zee, I’ll do that. So when you have a small green fruit set manually remove the flowers?

Robert, the grafts didn’t work very well on the cherries. The union is super ugly. They look to be growing ok for now, but already figured I’d have issues. Many didn’t work. Do you have Adera? I have some branches I can do in Adera now so I can transfer for next year. They look like they’ll hold up till then.

i like this video of kevin cruz partially clearing an abandoned orchard in floridahere's an update video.  most of the fruit trees were still alive but i didn't get the sense that they were thriving.  then again, there were only a few fruit tree varieties... longan, avocado and...?  there are probably plenty of species of fruit trees that would have thrived in those conditions.

I’ve had fruit off one of the orange (I have two),  the other flowered last year but didn’t produce. The fruit on the orange was very good, but I’ve learned to wait till a big crop before passing any judgement.

3 Ben’s Beaut
4 El Dorado

Orange is not of the same vein. It’s sweeter and doesn’t taste like cherry of the Rio grande to me. It wasn’t  as complex but is certainly something I look forward to eating.
