Where can we get this here?

Im looking for this variety as well as philippine saba.

Pending sale.

The buyer who asked to save for him did not get back to me.
So its still available. It currently flushed new growth since then.

That’s a great combination and a great price too. Good luck on your sale!

Thanks Simon. Afyer years of growing I finally found the best recipe of growing trees. It all comes with the soil for a better chance of growth & survival. At least, its not growing on compost. 🤣

Selling 5 gal peach cobbler from tropical acres farm which was sent as a 1 gallon tree. Grafted on a Sweet tart rootstock as a request to Alex.

Uppoted with gary mix top soil a month ago and fertilized it bio-live with cascade mineral rock dust.

Asking for $85

Sweetie is dream atemoya.

How certain are you that sweetie is dream?

That means Silber stole & renamed the variety?

I wonder how does MST compare to that wax green jumbo(except the size & color but in terms of flavor & sweetness)?

I wonder if its better than thai wax green jumbo(taste-wise)?

Last venus from Florida.

Collected a few 44 gallons thrash bins with 20 5 gals of rain water.

Is mexican lime what they are selling on CA nurseries are also called key lime?

Thanks for the biology revisit! Makes me wonder if some of our modern examples of cultivars are true clones as they should be or if they came from "close enough" seedlings of the original genetics lending to different performance and traits in newer trees.. I think the rabbit hole is deep enough rite here! Thanks

Definitely, improved varieties can sometimes escape notice unless significantly morphologically significant different.

One interesting one that gets talked about often is COC/CAC, which is thought to be commercial in Vietnam, but doesn't match with the ones in the literature, so it may be an improved seedling.

Good example, heard about discrepancies with USDA selections and other foreign cultivars marketed here under similar names with different domestic origins.

As far as this thread topic this year I have several Phillipine seedlings sprouted all polyembryonic from 3 different trees with 3 different characteristics in the fruit, one being similar in taste to Lemon Merinque. A couple Maha Chanok both polyembryonic and very vigorous. A monoembryonic Duncan. A monoembryonic NDM. Multiple seedlings of a large Indian-ish VP looking fruit from a seedling tree on my property which are all mono, some with double or triple sprouts. A Coconut Cream which just started sprouting and appears to be monoembryonic.

This made me thought of mercurial marvel, what is the history of it? Could it be a PPK or philippine seedling? hmm
