The Tropical Fruit Forum

I got my seeds finally. I doubt they will sprout.

Not with that attitude 

Thanks for the information :-)  I'm guessing that they don't like the heat here in Miami.  Maybe I'll try putting them outside again over the winter and see how they fare.

Mine are doing fine and its been very hot and humid and their in dappled sun, I only water them with rainwater so maybe its the water your using.

its Artocarpus sericicarpus, having both with no tags ive learned to see the difference.

saw 90-100 mph gust, The winds lasted for over 12 hours, Passion fruit were being hurled all over the place, most bananas i had to cut in half, papayas and avocado are good, Inga took it like a champ, same with soursop, amla broke at its base but it can grow back from the roots other than that all good here. Can't imagine the damage down south.

Ive tried germinating hundreds of chempedak only had 1 make it to about 2 feet, Haven't given up yet.  Have a bunch of cheena that are taking off so at least that.

property isn't that big about 1/4 acre but im going to plant the majority on another property which is more than enough, I will be keeping the rarest trees here  I have to make sure the trees are big enough so animals dont eat them so i keep them all around me as long as possible so i can guarantee success.

Also i like densely planting because ive read about photoperiodism and how it causes plants to grow faster to compete with the other foliage, so i put various plants in groups depending on growth habit to still allow room for the leaves of each plant but allow them to shade each other enough for photoperiodism to take affect and I have seen a dramatic increase in plant growth. To verify i have 5 or more of almost every plant except for a few so i put them in different locations with different lighting but getting the same care as the other plants and the ones that are bunched for photoperiodism are definitely growing faster.

Yea thats my neighbors roof, everyone's property is either lawns or sand and mine looks like a jungle sandwiched in between, its really funny, everyone says i have the coolest yard but my neighbors say i have too many trees is that possible

No limoncillo (Melicoccus bijugatus), I have a few Lucs Garcinia and their still in pots in dappled sun. I would keep them in pots for the first 3-4 years before planting in the ground maybe even longer and it would still need some shade until its adapted, I see your in florida so I would also recommend digging a good size hole or mounding up and filling it in with compost and good garden soil mixed with 20% of native sand/soil.

yea from baker creek, planted them first day of june

Yea it happens but this is from Jeffrey (7heads) on the forum so im sure he knows what a clove tree is, im wondering if its just another tree called clove.

These clove flowers look different than what ive seen in pictures, is there different variations of the same or is it a false clove?

Montoso gardens should have or soon will have the coffee arabica seeds http://www.montosogardens.com/tropical_fruit_seeds.htm

Are white ilamas that small? My anona rosada is double that size to 2 + lb
Here it is won't be ready for another two months

Its the first fruit plus its in a 45G pot and the tree is only 4 years old, I know they get much bigger when established and matured. This fruit was as big as a soft ball maybe slightly bigger so not bad for first fruit.

The longest living person on record Li Ching-Yuen died at 256 ate nothing but herbs and rice wine.
