Tropical Fruit Discussion / Jaboticaba in bucket of water: 10 weeks and counting
« on: February 10, 2014, 08:21:21 PM »

How much water can your jaboticaba take?

A lot. This one has been sitting in a bucket of water for ten weeks and shows no signs of ill health whatsoever. Quite the contrary; it has put out a lot of new growth. I have better V's than this one now, and it won't get replanted. I've arranged for a friend to come and claim it next time he's up my way. Other plants in the photo are American sand cherry, Indian Guava and Wai chee lychee. Small finger lime seedling in bottom corner, and marcotted Longan.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Pearl Mango is a very good Mango
« on: January 31, 2014, 04:03:20 PM »
Picked up eight of these yesterday. Smallish size,but extremely good flavor and excellent flesh to seed ratio. Firm jelly like consistency with Very low fibre, with whatever there is being closest to the skin. Kind of like a cross between an NDM and KP, with the former flavor occurring in the flesh nearest to the skin. A little piney, but this is something I enjoyed. Better than calypso, with the same or better sized seed, which is small and flat. Cosmetically appealing, too.

Have kept the seeds and will plant.

Has anybody experienced this before? The cutting is less than a foot long and has two flower buds. Has sent out a decent amount of roots, and appears to be in good health.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Taking apple cactus cuttings--How to?
« on: December 24, 2013, 01:14:42 AM »
I have been given access to a gargantuan apple cactus (cereus peruvianus ) as well as other fruiting cacti I am unable to identify, though one must be a monstrosa I believe. What is the best way to take cuttings? I am only familiar with Hylocereus and opuntia.

thanks
