It only happens if I use my laptop, haven't encountered this same problem on my phone though.
We may have to restore from a back up..
yes, been having errors also. Also have received security warning messages.
Yes having that problem posting. Works on the second go round.

In the mid-1980's, Laurence Zill, sometimes accompanied by his son Gary, collected red Annona reticulata varieties in Belize and northern Guatemala. These Custard-Apple varieties he usually named after the town or community where he got graftwood. These included 'Sarteneja' from the town of Sartenaja, 'Chonox,' 'Benque,' 'Canul,' and 'San Pablo,' all from Belize (so not from a state of Brazil), and Tikal (not from the actual ruins). Gary Zill later returned alone to northern Guatemala and collected the 'El Remate,' 'Tart,' and 'León,' named in honor of Dr. Jorge León, eminent plant collector in Central America, who provided us with a lot of initial guidance.
The Zills sent me to western Guatemala several times. I collected varieties of ilama, Annona diversifolia, including 'Genova Red,' and Genova White,' both from the town of Genova, 'Guillermo' from the yard of a man by that name near Retahuleu, and 'Pajapita' from the town of that name near the border with Mexico.
On cold hardiness--- several degrees of difference can be made by the general condition of the plant and the abscence or presence of other stressing factors, and by presence or lack of frost-nucleating bacteria or other particles.
I ate an orangish-red jak at Excalibur that was delicious that I ate all the rag and all the inner peel! I haven't had any other Jak that had a tasty inner peel.
Actually looking at my notes, the one that nurseries most carry, is not M cauliflora, its M. jaboticaba.
The two are almost indistinguishable to the untrained eye (and even to a trained eye!)
M. jaboticaba fruits are always sweet, never acid (where cauliflora has acid varieties like Ponhema)
Also caulifora is generally a shorter tree, with slightly larger leaf and fruit.
Good luck telling the difference! Chances are, it's M. jaboticaba, sabarah...Hate to break it to you all, but the trees you have from PIN, Hopkins, and most other nurseries in USA, are mislabeled as M. cauliflora.
I'm sure I'll catch heat for saying this, but you can suck my "assu paulista" pulp.
that figures! who know what these nursery guys are passing as a Florida Red Atemoya. Is there even a red atemoya?

Weird. I asked for my money back and they refunded me. I called http://www.justfruitsandexotics.com - they don't have the milsweet but they have the SANBOKAN LEMON which is another sweet lemon. Anyway, BEWARE of oasis tropicals
Another use for the meter is to measure the brix of the leaves of plants as a way to monitor the health of the plant, you squeeze the leaves until you get some "juice". and measure that.
OMG...is that what happened. I swear I was getting countless advertisemnts in Potuguese from Brasilian senders. I couldn't imagine how that happened. It got to the point that I blocked all incoming email with a .br at the end.

This is interesting. While it would take a bit of effort to do it regularly, i'd like to see some brix tests in future on the fruit you eat, if you don't mind.
hahahaha actually I really want to know the Okrung's reading from Harry's tree.
Are the three readings from 3 different segments, murahilin?
I suggest trying to make it a comprehensive list, and just leave blank the ones nobody is selling. It means a lot of boxes will be blank, but this will be easier than trying to add species as vendors add them to items they are selling. Also it might encourage vendors and collectors to try to get some of the species they've never heard of.Thanks for the help Oscar. It almost doubled the original list I started off with even after removing the duplicates.
Oscar
Been adding to the list, however I have been sticking to fruiting plants that are more edibility to them. Added numerous cactus fruit entries with fruit diameter +2".Even if a fruit is not all that edible I would like to add it because as we've discussed in another post, with a little bit of breeding many of these inedible fruits could be greatly improved. Also, what's rated low edibility for one person may be delicious to another.
Totally agree which is why we have to try to sift through which fruits have decent edibility to them. If a fruit has a pit which is inedible and takes 90% of the fruit, I would chalk that up as not worthy of making the list. Fruits smaller then blueberries I skip over as well.
Also have to consider taste, if a fruit is extremely bitter then it has little use except medicinal. Adding an edibility ranking would help prioritize the fruits. For example an apple would rank 5/5, where as a wild Vitus grape with large seed and low pulp a 2/5.
You are either more obsessive or have more time than me.I think I may just have more free time...
Anyways I did a brief start to a similar list, and since I am fascinated by Taxonomy I have the family listed for each:

Also, since we are doing Google docs thought I'd point out my obsessively complete fruiting plant patent list I compiled last year to prove my fruit obsession

Hi John
I'm no expert - far from it.
A quick google yielded several websites that said to keep the smallest stalks:

Can anyone shed some light on this topic?
