Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Yangmei Help
« on: January 10, 2023, 03:35:18 PM »
That would be awesome, however without getting into the paperwork side, the process is harder for that. Over here any plants or scions of yangmei imported have a 3 month holding and inspection period. For plants, they get inspected, treated potted up by dpi and evaluated for 3 months then released. For scion material, it gets inspected, treated, then I have to supply them rootstock that they also inspect,  then they graft on a no liability basis then they have to wait until the graft takes and shoots then monitor for 3 months. They charge for each step in the process. My plan was to bring in a few of each type for myself and others, then over time people could graft some up on seedlings and share them.

I can get seeds from within Oz, but I'd like named varieties, even scion material needs source trees, that I need to know a nursery of to import.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Yangmei Help

Hi everyone,
                      I have watched the previous yangmei orders with interest and been impressed by their success. I'm in Australia, and have looked into bringing them in here. It appears doable, although with a holding period for the plants. I'm keen to try and arrange something similar, but cannot find any info on the nursery willing to ship out of china. I've messaged a couple of people to no avail. So I'm putting it out there, if anyone could point me in the direction of the supplier so I could contact them and see if its a real possibility I'd be really grateful.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Kandrian bananas
« on: May 24, 2021, 06:09:16 AM »
Are all the fruit seeded? Do you have any other bananas nearby? Kandarian/kandarian is a landrace variety originally from PNG. Its an ABB triploid and although parthenocarpic, they can retain some levels of fertility. One indicator is Kandarian is a big banana plant, 30ft type big, if its not like this it might not  be the real deal.

Do the original ruby longan have red fruit.

Started this thread many years ago when I just started collecting pouterias. Most people with possible bullata had one of the subspecies of torta. Im alot more familiar with the genus now. As for abiurana it simply means " like abiu" its a colloquial name for any tree with abiu like fruit. Since its used by the indigenous peoples to identify food sources I doubt theyre going to stop using it just because it isnt botanically accurate.

Cool, might give them a go and see how they germinate, I dont suppose you know of a source of Citrus. Garrawaye?

I have inodora here, grafted onto carizzo citrange growing well. I was looking into the use of C. australis as I have hundreds of fruit with seeds, I figured I could germinate them then trade for budwood to increase my collection.

I will take some comparitive pics, the fruit is only 2/3 the size of a normal pitanga. This specimen is actually grafted onto red uniflora. Has been grafted a couple of years.

I got 5 seeds of a supposedly white eugenia uniflora a while back from Vitor (wish i could contact him). Only one survived but appears I got lucky. Fruit are crisp with good flavour, a little small and slightly piney but not unpleasantly so.



24
Mine are just starting to flower here at the end of winter, I will post pics later. I think they need cool weather to trigger flowering. I need to try bulala seeds again, didnt get any takers from the last lots.

25
Im going to try inarch a rambutan and pulusan onto my korlan fruit trees this summer  if i can get top stock. If it works I will let you know.
