The Tropical Fruit Forum

I am giving away one $20 gift certificate to anyone on the forum who has never been to Tropical Acres Farms before. The gift certificate is good only for local pickup of the mangos not for shipping. It also expires this mango season so you will need to use it very soon as mango season is almost over.

Post here and I will select a winner on Wednesday.

Edit: I just spoke to the owner of Tropical Acres Farms, forum user Squam256, and he told me that they are currently only open by appointment only on weekday afternoons.

I am considering selling the lychee fruit from my tree and shipping it via Priority Mail but I am not sure of the best way to package the fruit to ensure they survive the shipping. I was thinking about putting them in a plastic bag first but I think being in a sealed bag would ruin the fruit in the heat.

If the box even gets slightly squished in transit, it would probably crack all of the fruit.

I have about 100lbs of Mauritius still on my tree that I would like to sell this week, ship by tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

What is the best cultivar of taro/dasheen for its leaves?

There are a lot of cultivars available in Hawaii so I figured someone might know which one has the best leaves for cooking.

I am selling all three grafted mango trees together for $60. I don't want to sell them individually.

Local pickup only.  Palm Beach County, Florida.

Any forum members in Bali or near Bali and are able to ship me a few Hindu wood carvings? I am specifically looking for ones carved out of fruit tree wood, but I will settle for other wood as well.

I saw that Truly Tropical is giving away a free t-shirt to their first 100 youtube subscribers. You have to pick the t-shirt up at their farm though.

They didn't link the youtube channel in the post, but I think this is it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCObjyZOcrbSLRrO2sEsoKOA?&ab_channel=TrulyTropical

Anyone have any success bark grafting mangos? I was considering cutting back one of my larger trees and grafting into the stump directly but I'm not sure of the best method. I tried it once before but was unsuccessful.

Here is a video with one method that I found:

Since there most vegetables and herbs have such a wide variety of local names, please put the scientific name in every post title.

I have a grafted Australian atemoya (One of the new varieties, not sure which one because I mixed up the budwood) tree in a 3g container to trade. It's about 18" tall. I also multigrafted a Vietnamese atemoya onto it, not sure yet if that graft has taken though.

I am looking for a nice decent sized 3 gallon atemoya of any variety. The reason I'm looking to trade is that I told a friend I would get them an atemoya tree, but I don't know how well they would actually take care of the atemoya so I don't want to risk the grafted Australian atemoya tree.
