The Tropical Fruit Forum

thanks for sharing! i stopped growing these because you need at least two trees if they aren't hermaphroditic. i agree, it sounds too good to be true, but it's worth a shot. i wonder how long a air-layering will take to produce fruit.

good luck... hopefully not as bad as a florida hass. i was similarly disappointed.

nice quenepa. i never knew they were called spanish limes. i tried growing them once but the thing is that you usually need a male and a female tree to produce fruit. see here:

you might want to grow a few just to be safe.

a very long time. some people sun dry them before planting.

name is georges (french spelling). i live in west central florida and i'm zone pushing a number of tropicals including mangoes, soursop and bananas. i only have a couple mango varieties atm, but ordered up some bud wood so hopefully i can expand here before fall. i just put a nam doc mai and pickering in the ground.

one word for unsuspecting thieves eyeing my backyard fruit: hostile vegetation. my fence is lined with it

Is there a powerpoint available? i am intrigued.

here's a good link on florida peaches http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg374

i've had tropic beauty, tropic snow, uf sun and uf one. i like tropic beauty and tropic snow the best in taste and the trees have all done well for me and produce a lot of fruit. i'm in the tampa bay area though so you might get better input from someone in your area.
