Wow nice! You planted the two seeds in ground in direct sun? How tall is your tree?
If that's the case, then I'm really jealous!-:) ...I'm pampering mine like a significant other.. heheh
I'm wondering why people aren't trying to grow them as cuttings. Supposedly most of them take from cuttings?
What would you say is a better tasting variety ?
I have the tree but fruits are green . Short time available
Don't know if he has stock now, but I had good results with seeds from user achetadomestica.
They were super fresh and germinated rapidly.
Has both red and yellow version.
sure, send me your info. I will have the next batch pick in a few weeks.
I like this variety of june plum because it is not fibrous at all. Some of them don't even seems to have seeds.
As you can see here, the seeds are very small, i put it on a quarter to compare. Those are the largest seeds I can find out of the fruits that are the size of a golf ball.
My sister got some fruits that are about the size of a tennis ball. They are very fibrous. I planted the seeds last year and it is growing. Hopefully, I will get some fruits from it soon as well.
I think most of my peach and nectarines are on citation. Which seems to work fine here.
Yep, every rootstock is site dependent. Citation works good in many places in CA and in some places around Phoenix (yards that have flood irrigation in particular) but every tree on Citation in my yard has died. Neemagaurd has not fared much better. But trees on Myro and Marianna do great in my yard.
Is myrobalan and Myro the same thing? If so I think myrobalan is grown from seed which be very exciting for me.
Is Myro compatable with Peachs? or just plums?
Yep. Myro=myrobalan. I have seen peach trees grafted onto Myro. Buy my best peach trees and peach interspecifics (like Bella Gold Peacotum) are on Lovell Peach rootstock. That is anoth combo that does well in my yard.
Brad, sorry for hijacking your post.
They have good flavor when pick some of them in Nov-Dec. But in Jan, they seem to be a bit blend.
I picked my june plum at the same time, and june plum is much better tasting then guava. I prefer june plume over guava.
mom said she pick one a few weeks ago that was even bigger than this.
It's some kind of vietnamese green guava. I don't know the variety, I planted from seed of a fruit came from my cousins tree.
I know some people have grafted Luc's Mexican and achachairu to imbe. Did it work and did it grow long term? Please share your knowledge!

These don't come true to seed. They are all pollinating each other and all the trees are on special rootstocks.
Anyway, sale is done. I trimmed the trees yesterday and am looking forward to some fruit soon.

Please start your own thread.
Should work if you put the seeds in close to the light.Hopefully I have success with the yellow too....then I won't mind 10,000.Probably hard to see but I've been trying to get this to germinate for a while now... friday moved it to a window that gets full sun in the mornings instead of a window in my house that is tinted...and Bam! Germination!
You couldn't get them to germinate, now your gonna have 10,000
Do you think a strong grow light will work as well as sunlight?

I like the smell of guava, it's very tropical and intoxicating, but even though I've tried to like it, I just don't really like eating the fruit. It's either too hard and astringent if not ripe enough, or when it is fully ripe it starts taking on a more putrid smell that is just somewhat offputting to me.
But if something like a Reisling varietal wine is said to take on the flavor of guava, that's a very positive thing. The fragrance is almost floral and edible at the same time.
