Tropical Fruit Discussion / Pitumba
« on: January 14, 2013, 09:55:05 PM »
My Pitumba has a few blossoms on it. Only time will tell if I will actualy have fruit. I have heard about others having bad luck with Pitumba in S. Florida. Mine seems to be doing great. I have it planted about 10 feet from the house. Mulched in nicely. It is well protected from cold northern winds. Not that this year has seen much cold.

My Maha Chanok is young. But healthy. Plenty of others in bloom. Except my Glen. Not sure why.

Would love to Harry. Sounds like a nice cruise on the Harley. What kind is that in your picture? Very colorful. I already have a Maha Chinok too. I knew I was forgetting one. WOW I do have a problem. LOL

My avatar is a mango from my Maha Chanok seedling project.  I love the look of that mango.  It is a good, but not superlative tasting mango in eating quality.  You can read about it here:

I have been doing my homework. I am going to take your advice. I did find plants on the Home Depot site. They were 7.98 I believe. I filled out all their order form. To find out they wont ship them to Florida.

Pitumbo they grow slow. Cherry of the Rio Grande, miracle fruit slow grower. They seem to like partial sun. Also acidic soil. I have mine under pine trees. The pine needles are acidic.

My name is Brian. I am a tropical fruit enthusiast. I have all sorts of fruit trees. I live in Western Palm beach county Florida. I am a member of the Palm Beach chapter of the Rare Fruit Tree Council. Right now I am really hooked on Mango trees. I have 13 and looking for a few more. I have a Choc-Anon, Cogshall. Duncan, Haden. Nam doc mai, Kent, Duncan, Glenn, Lemon Zest, Lemon Merangue, Coconut cream, Carrie, and Malikia. Any suggestions on good ones to plant? The next one has to be a condo mango. It is going under the powerlines. Height is an issue. I don't want a fight keeping it small. I intend keeping them all under control size wise. But I realize I wont stay young forever. I will have my hands full. In addition to mango. I also have apples, plums, peaches, nectarines, sapodillia, Mamey sapote, Loquat, pomagranite, jujubee, jaboticaba, grumachama, pitumbo, cherry of the rio grande, miracle fruit, persimmons, dragonfruit, guava, barbados cherry, Jackfruit, mulberry, allspice, cinnamon, carambola,strawberry tree, figs,and of course lemons, limes, oranges,tangerines, tangelo, grapefruit, blood orange. Lost my avacado, sugar apple, papaya and june plum in flooding after Isiac. Dont plan on replacing any of the ones I lost. Also looking for a goji berry to purchase.
