Hi Oscar,

I bought Green sapote seeds from you and I'm wondering, how many varities of green sapote do you have ?.

Oscar, how long ago did you move to where you are now, in Hawaii?  You speak of some of your trees being quite large.  Were any planted on the property when you bought it?

I have the variety Makawao, and a couple of seedling trees.

Moved here in 1989, so started planting 25 years ago. Didn't plant everything at once, so have trees of varying ages, and still planting, and now starting to replace some old trees or non fruiting trees.

Hey Oscar...you moved to Hawaii the same year I purchased my property. 

I am not sure you posted anywhere else, but is the current lava flow heading towards Pahoa affecting or threatening you and your property? I had an e-mail from Alaska Mike advising that their access to town was cut off but otherwise they were unaffected so far other than poor air quality. What's your situation?

Hi Harry, yes there was a previous thread about this. I'm not at all affected so far, except that some nights there is smoke in the air from the forest burning. I don't know why Mike told you that? His access to town is not at all affected. His property is just a couple miles from me. But he doesn't live here full time. So maybe he is confused about what actually occured? The news has blown this totally out of proportion....as is usual for the media. Either that or you misunderstood him? The lava has not cut any roads, except for a very small country road going to transfer dump station, and county set  up dump somewhere else. There is a danger the lava could in the future cut the main road access to this area, but for last 3 weeks the flow is completely stalled and has not advanced. The government has opened up alternate detour roads already, just in case main highway is closed in future.

Hi Oscar,

There is one fruit on you list that has no info on it anywhere, Google or this forum. Lacmellea oblongata. Can you tell us something about it?
Also how do you ship rambutan scions. Are they in cuttings form, bud patch? Can they still be viable after one week of travel?

If you look at the post about visit to Jim West's place you will see that there i posted some information and a photo of this fruit i am calling chicle: http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=12783.msg162879#msg162879
The rambutan scions are shipped as cutting, just like all other scions, sent in moistened vermiculite inside tightly wrapped zip lock bag. I've sent some rambutans and longans to Brazil that took close to a month and were still took.

What is the best way to root the cuttings of longan and rambutan?

I think you misunderstood. These cuttings are for use for grafting, not for rooting.

Oscar: I'd like to order those Lemba seeds, but can't much on the plant aside from the curculin. Can you tell me more about the plant? It seems like a palm.

There was a thread about it before on the forum, and i posted a photo and some info. Plant is nothing like a palm, looks more like a ginger plant. If you have any specific questions i'll try to answer?

[dogbane]

Oscar,

Do you know how long the Lemba seeds remain viable for?   

I ordered some from someone else and so far none of them have germinated. I planted them indoors in a pot.   The weather where I live isn't very warm this time of year even though I am in Florida. 

I am going to plant my remaining seeds in some pots this summer when the temperatures are very hot. When the daily highs are above 90 degrees F. 

I think I might be having the same issue with Borojoa seeds.   

I have read they will remain dormant if the soil temperature isn't warm. 

I also plan to put them outside when its warmer. They are inside some plastic baggies with spaghnum moss.  ( the kind that is anti- damping off)

I don't know how long the lemba seeds remain viable for. They look like they would last long time if kept dry and cool. I would go for starting them on top of warming mat SAP. Maybe keep a few seeds in fridge as backups to try to start later if first batch don't germinate.

[Tropicaliste]

Thanks lol I kept typing lemba and the post was under curculigo. I think I will order.

Hi Oscar,

Thank you

Hi, Tried to check your website, but it says page does not exist.  Do you have a list of seeds you can mail to Oahu?  Thanks in advance!

The front page does not work on mobile devices for some reason. Go instead directly to the seed page, that should work fine on any device: http://fruitlovers.com/seedlistUSA.htm

It's just a faulty redirect to m.fruitlovers.com, a page that doesn't exist. You could optimize your site for mobiles or just remove the redirect, the latter being the easiest solution.
