Many people haven’t heard of Jaboticaba or auchacharu
And haven’t tasted them either as all are familiar with oranges and apples

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Location for Rollinia/Biriba tree
« on: June 19, 2019, 09:20:29 AM »
My retriever has been my foe for Rollinia
I planted the first one and was putting tools away and I look back and his is using it for a chew toy
The second was a tennis ball accident
Ball bounced to the Rollinia and it was wiped out in the process
I will try a third some day

Back in the 80’s a guy came to the door calimondinwanting kumquats
Told him those are Calimomdins and very sour and he gives me the face like I’m lying
So I get a paper bag and let him fill it up and when he was getting in the car I said try one
I repeated that they aren’t Kumquats and sour
He expected Meawa sweet kumquat and tried his first and maybe last calimondin

Never seen Toppy when he wasn’t smiling
He gets more pleasure selling a pound of Lychee for four bucks than have millions in his pocket
At Fruit club meetings you will find him on the first row where he can hear and learn from other experts
He is still planting new fruits trees
Proud to know him

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is this citrus greening?
« on: June 06, 2019, 07:56:50 AM »
I stumped my key lime that had dead limbs from greening
Was going to finish digging it out but time got away from me so it leafed out again with no greening
Second year with fruit and no greening
It’s a seedling and noticed lots of seedlings in hammocks in the woods still growing
So I tried it on my grafted Dancy tangerine
Cut it back hard sprayed it with oil when it came out to deter leaf minors and it is cropping again like normal

Start with your trees and plant smaller things around them for protection
I have a coffee plant for about fifteen years now that has froze back a couple times and came back out and is about 12,ft at the moment
Some things like moringa is cut to the ground to over winter and comes back out
There is a lot you can grow here when you start understanding your land

On the other hand I have a twenty year old jaboticaba and Starfruit and a 17 old coffee bush that has froze down a couple of times and grew back again and blooming now
my illama is doing well also
20 mango in ground
9b isn’t all the same
If you’re in the country it’s going to be colder than a city

Auchacharu can be planted outdoors in 9b
Vanilla and cacao would need the extra warm
