The Tropical Fruit Forum

It's time to continue ... http://citrusgrowersstatic.chez.com/web/viewtopicc951.php

right now, I got two new cultivars (released in 2012).

Sweet Sicily® /clementine Comune 2x × Tarocco 4x/


and

Early Sicily® /clementine Oroval 2x × Tarocco 4x/


both can form an anthocyanic pigmentation, in the form of reddish streaks, caused by cold temperatures, in the pulp.

Worth to read  study about effect of different pollens to fruit quality of 'Arka Sahan' annona hybrid. 'Arka Sahan' is a cross of  'Mammoth’ atemoya x  'Island Gem’ annona squamosa, selected by the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore.

My first crop of hassaku, it has very nice sweet taste, but also a bitternes in the pulp. It is more bitter than grapefruit and this aspect devalues the overall flavor a bit.

2.Haruka

"Epidemiological data, clinical and patological findings of a disease of sheep, characterized by neurological signs are described. The disease occurred in the months of February and March of  2009 to 2013 in the counties of São José do Cerrito and Chapecó in mountainous western region and the state of Santa Catarina and is associated with the falling fruit of "uvaieira" (Eugenia uvalha Cambess). On farms where the outbreaks occurred had lots of fallen fruit on the ground, and the animals consumed avidly. Aiming to evaluate the clinical aspects of the disease and lesional was performed experimental reproduction through the administration of the fruits of uvaia at the daily doses of 45.45 g / kg, 68.18 g / kg and 82.35 g / kg. After 4 to 5 days of consumption of the fruit, intoxicated animals showed intense apathy, salivation, teeth grinding, circling, blindness, incoordination, opisthotonos and seizures, usually followed by death. Those that survived remained with sequelae of the disease, such as intermittent opisthotonos and seizures. There were no macroscopic or histological changes, however, were found the fruit, whole or fragmented mixed on the content of pre-stomachs. The main way to diagnose poisoning "uvaia" is the observation of clinical and epidemiology, associated with the presence of ripe fruit fallen to the ground. "

I came across another interesting annona. Annona vepretorum aka pinha da caatinga. This annona is happy in semi desert areas of Northern Brasil (Caatinga). I would like to buy seeds.
