It would be awesome to get a seedless finger lime

While it's always possible (there are many mechanisms for seedlessness), it's worth noting both yuzu and finger line are pretty seedy, so that's not something to expect from crossing them. But when you cross such distant relatives you sometimes get unexpected results! That was really the point, the possibility of unexpected things. I certainly wouldn't expect their hybrid to be seedless.

I got 100% take on pecan pie cleft grafts onto lucuma seedling. Found it extremely easy to graft.

This was such a wonderful video! I had no idea about keeping jabos in larger bonsai pots to contain growth yet still get fruit, great tip.

Brian, do you mind sharing where you found those pots?

Local nurseries may also offer wholesale discounts or pricing depending on what you're looking for, e.g. Greens, http://www.greensnursery.com/, Julie's, https://www.juliestropical.com/inventory, A Natural Farm, https://www.anaturalfarm.com/.

Last time I was at Greens, someone had just bought 200 persimmon trees.

Thanks for posting the video, always nice to learn from other people’s successes. It’s interesting how many of the fruiting challenges seem universal to greenhouse growers (ie soursop). I was curious about how many members grow in similar conditions?

I too am interested in your fan, do you know what model it is? I got one that was wet rated 7 years ago and the fan blades edges that hit my passionfruit have started to rust.

I don't know about either of those, and couldn't find a conclusive answer online either. I know that Lisbon lemon is compatible from this chart, though:

Graft Eureka to the rootstock suckers.
Let them grow and decide which branch to cull later.

This won't help if the problem is an incompatible rootstock. Eureka has delayed failure on many common rootstocks.

After my last post I read this one, https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=54470.0, and realize that it’s likely incompatibility, as you stated. Do you know if my C35 rootstock will be compatible with Meyer lemon or Key Lime?
