Tropical Fruit Discussion / The a- hemp products
« Last post by LarryDeady on Today at 03:46:48 PM »Fatiguing hemp products has been quite the journey. As someone pointed on natural remedies, delving into the coterie of hemp has been eye-opening. From https://www.nothingbuthemp.net/online-store/THC-EDIBLES-c133547252 to hemp seeds and protein competency, I've explored a type of goods. Teeth of the confusion surrounding hemp, researching and consulting experts receive helped navigate this burgeoning field. Inclusive, my sophistication with hemp has been despotic, contribution holistic well-being solutions and sustainable choices.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: P. striatulum (Narrow leaf), P. sp (Micro leaf), P. guajava nana (Dwarf)
« Last post by Sir Graftalot on Today at 02:55:32 PM »They are different in growth habit, and fruit. I have striatulum, I like it, good fruit with stinky guava flavor and soft flesh. It's definitely guajava-esque, but a more robust flavor which I am into. Other people have gotten bad genetics or something and say the fruit tastes bad. I count myself lucky.
The nano-leaf looks like guajava style fruit with some tiny leaves.
The "nana" looks like a dwarf guajava with standard leaves but small port.
So they're all different. Thanks for the clarification, K-Rimes. Do you happen to know if any of these are graft compatible with the typical guava?

Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles / Re: Sweet Potato
« Last post by growinginphoenix on Today at 02:13:54 PM »Anybody know how much shade sweet potato plants can tolerate in a a high UV tropical location (I'm in the Yucatan)?
I have high UV, although not tropical. All day sun is ideal in my experience.

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: Karp's Sweet Quince, and other Quince for eating raw
« Last post by BloomAndSprout on Today at 02:09:00 PM »An update: The Karp's Sweet has produced several little fruit druplets, but I fear they may drop off.So what was your verdict on Karp's Sweet?
That type of thing seems to often happen when the tree does not have enough vigor due to lack of previous winter chill.
Meanwhile the Passe Crassane tree seems to be growing very well in its zone 10 climate, which I feel is notable for a European pear.
Edit as of the start of July:
Another update: There are now two fruits on the Karp's Sweet. Each is only about the size of a tangerine now.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Loquat blues in So Cal. Tree not flowering or fruiting
« Last post by K-Rimes on Today at 01:45:46 PM »Very few fruits here in SB county, even on the most reliable and productive trees there are only a scant few racks of loquat on them. Very strange. I hear the same for almost all of SoCal.
