The Tropical Fruit Forum

my namwah is flowering and fruiting. But as you can see, there are no more leaves. Will the little guy make it to fruition?  Anything I can do to help it?  I just don't see how it's going to make it without any more leaves coming out. Is it possible for it to grow new leaves at all?

can it be topped off so that it doesn't get too tall?

the challenge with this palm is that when you get it to fruit by the  time you are senile, you cant even climb up to pick the fruit unless you are still a young lad. or you can post on craigslist for a hobbyist climbing to challenge them to climb up the tree.

my sister in kauai , HI as a big lychee tree that gave them lots of fruit.  hawaii is not cold, yet, lychee is able to fruit. So, don't think lychee need chiling hours at all, base on my sister's tree.

can I join the party next time too? I will bring this little dingy guy with me to share. 

i think the durian contest should be limited to people living in non-tropical climates. Kinda like a special olympic contest. 

So far, anyone getting close to being a  durian gold medialist?  It would be nice to see pictures of your durian plant.

Calling all florida folks,
Can someone help me buy and ship two durian plants from excalibur to califorina?  Thanks,

Maha Chanok looks healthy so far

when we were kids, my dad would tell us to go pee and poop by the sugarcane bush. As a result , the sugarcane bush looks very lush and huge and very sweet too!

how about this crate as a pot for the mango tree? I'm thinking of putting barks at the bottom and sides, then place mango in the middle.  It looks like the gopher will not be able to get thru or chew thru the plastic at the bottom.

Whatever Seeds I have managed to produce goes into my breeding selection program over the next decades ( trade are only to other sith breeders or Sith Collectors who have a heavy desired to spread the selection far and wide & have something of interest to trade) hopefully an improved Whitman Fiberless with the self high pollination bearing of Soren Arusha traits with the cold, disease, pest resistant of the Whitman Original; but above all a fiberless creamy flesh that melt in your mouth not choking your throat with its no melt in your mouth cottony fiberflesh!😄. Yuup hopefully two strains to develop; Boca Snob Whitman & Soren Arusha Whitman will be improved Whitman fiberless for the lazy pomologists!😆

Hi ccoconut,
love your pee fertilizer. I've been using it fresh pee on my banana and it's blooming now(kinda suck since it's winter). I'm in sf bay area, my sister got me some soursop from hawaii, unknown variety.  can I trade them for your fiberless seeds?  thanks.
