Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Adansonia digitata (baobab) care
« on: June 19, 2021, 03:49:29 PM »
You might just want to transplant them into a larger container. My experience is that the container size limits how large the tree will get. They get big very quickly if given the right conditions. The swollen part is part of the plant that is supposed to be underground so I’d plant that part below the soil line. I have a few different species of baobab and my experience is to just keep them in the same spot and not to bother them. If temperatures stay the same throughout the year they (in my experience) won’t lose their leaves all at once but just hold onto them. For a few months until they know when to start growing again if you’re growing them in a greenhouse. But once the temperatures do dip or if they go down, then the trees will lose their leaves. One of my baobabs broke dormancy after 5 months. Watered it regularly (probably not as often as I typically would when it’s leaves were gone). Had it in direct sunlight. Only issue and the previous post mentioned it is soil saturation. When it’s leaves are gone (if they drop) do not overwater because the swollen part and the roots can rot.

I don’t really know if this is normal but the other two in the same lot are green with the red trim as well. The bottom two leaves have been this way for the past two weeks and have not since changed color. They get plenty of direct sunlight during the day in the greenhouse

I want to praise Danny for a second. I received my package from him yesterday which took three weeks (which I thought was a good amount of time). Ordered 8 seeds and all 8 seeds germinated in transit. Everything was packaged very professionally. First time ordering from him and I will be be a repeat customer. I’d recommend doing business with him

I believe he is actually referring to the two mammea americana trees that Wonderfruit has in his yard on either side of the front part of his property. They are both beautiful trees. He hasn’t posted pictures of them

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Garcinia Sp. Pacurí
« on: March 25, 2021, 01:07:37 AM »I have been reading about this variety on the forum. It appears that it might be G. Brasiliensis. I don't know. Does anyone else have any input?
Thanks,
Bill
Highly doubt it is. The seed itself was almost as large as a G. Brasiliensis fruit. The seeds I got were slightly larger than a lucs seed but not larger than the g. dulcis seeds I’ve received in the past. The foliage is also somewhat different

« on: March 19, 2021, 02:45:14 PM »How do they taste compared to others, though? I'm growing in a greenhouse so cold hardiness isn't a factor
I would think Marcus is the only one that can give a correct flavor profile comparison. There is a video of him trying the fruit but I could not get a full sense of it because I’m pretty sure if I remember correctly, it was in Portuguese.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Garcinia Sp. Pacurí
« on: March 19, 2021, 01:53:36 PM »
I just wanted to get this topic out there because I believe this garcinia has a lot of potential for those who want to zone push. As far as I know, this species has only been sold by Marcus here on the forum and I happened to have the opportunity of buying 6 seeds of the “large fruited” variety. That being said, there is little to no information about this species online with the exception being the information provided by Marcus. He says they are hardy down to -5 C. I can attest to that claim. Without a doubt the most cold hardy garcinia I have come into contact with. Not only that but 3 of the plants are very vigorous, growing even during the winter months here. They have great flood tolerance as well as frost tolerance. The only issue being that I cannot test compatibility as a rootstock nor quality of fruit.
If anyone has information about the Latin name of this species or anything they know about the species I think that would be most invaluable especially for those trying to push the limits with this genus
(Do not tell me they are an achacha; they are clearly not)

Nappy, you got a good thing. I’d milk it and just keep buying seeds at the current price and at the arbitrage rate that currently exists, you could still make money all the way down.

« on: March 09, 2021, 11:21:07 PM »After seeing that I gotta change my line of work and move to Brazil
Have you seen the prices being paid for germinated seeds on eBay. There is a Eugenia neomyrtifolia with the current bid of $154.50! A Eugenia anthropophaga seed is at $155.50! Nattyfroootz's price does not seem that outlandish compared to a germinated Eugenia langsdorffii seed which has a current bid of $315.00!
Rare Brazilian fruits are turning into the next Tulipmania.
I have noted that the guy out of Kentucky is making a killing. Nappy is sitting on some pretty pennies as well.
People want to be the first I get that. I’ll get them in 15 years and I’m okay with that as well.
