I think those seedlings of avocado will be true to type because the leaves are red and they contain more anthocyanins wich its the same pigment that makes the fruit color to be violet.
My red fleshed apple ,the Red love era,also has red bark and reddish new leaves because the tree contains the anthocianins too,not only the fruit.
LOL... secret!
From Thailand.
has anyone tasted nagasakiwase loquat? a have read pretty good descriptions
I have, here in Australia it's actually a pretty easy one to obtain. The fruits are sweet and have great flavor and generally can give 2 lots of fruit at different times of the year, usually being late autumn and spring.
Here you can make as much as you wish but you cant sell it legally.
I was thinking : one kilo of table sugar costs 50 cents,through distillation => 1 litter of 70 degree booze wich is expensive as a sanitizer now a days= business.
But off course i wouldnt do business ,instead i would give it for cheap or almost for free to people that needs it for disinfection.
I felt really scammed with that 96 degree booze for 20 euros thogh .
I think 9b is pretty far outside of its normal range, but i could be wrong. You might have a hard time.
I would recommend the Amelanchier - they go by many names here, like Juneberry and Serviceberry.
The ones i've eaten have been surprisingly good for a relatively unknown fruiting shrub. I might grow some eventually but for now i eat a few every year from bushes growing in a parking lot nearby.
Your right .Its Boquilla but has a synonim as Lardizabala trifoliata.You could try but a better related plant its the Lardizabala from Chile.
Zabala its amazing because it mimics the leaves of the trees it grows and even mimics artificial plants leaves.
Its not iet understud how does it sees the leaves that she mimics.
The fruit looks like a pawpaw and its said to be of good quality,better than dead mans fingers.
Are you sure Zabala has the mimicry properties? because i found that Boquila trifoliolata another species of the same family has that property. It is from the same region but a different plant
I think one its more cold hardy than the otther.
Its been a while since i studyed the flora of Patagonia.
If you get plants from Patagonia ,check if they are resistant to drought and heat.The more cold hardy they are ,the more they hate drought and summer heat.

Your right it will be hard to find Lardizabala viable seeds.
I have no experience with amelanchier and dead mans fingers.
Dead mans fingers looks like a curiosity collector plant rather than an usefull fruit tree.
I got an Akebia wich is related to dead mans fingers and i consider it a curiosity also,not an usefull fruit.
If you can find at the nursery and if they do well in your area i reccomend the mini kiwi ,,Issai,, or ,,dr Szymanovsky,,.These are good fruits available for cheap at supermarket seedling place this time of year.

You are right that they are elderly but i think the cruise ship example could be wrong because they say everybody got the virus.Palmcity,the cruise ship Diamond princess has 1,5% deathrate not 0,5 and it also has 15 people in intensive care.
Where do you get your facts about 0,5%?
Look here,detailed ,live ,worldwide corona situation.

Donf forget that a large portion of people that go on cruises are usually elderly. So it should be expected the death rate to be higher than that on the total population
I dont think its that contagious and for sure its not as contagious as the flu.
Its not contagious as the flu because simply you dont cough all the time ,only at the begining and the corona has a lot less healing time than the flu wich lasts 2 weeks.
Something doesnt add up.If not everybody on that ship got sick then the death rate could be bigger.
Ive got a cold and i sneezed @300-400 times ,runny nose and eyes( eyes turned red a little) ,a little dizzyness at begining for @ 40 minutes and fever 37,5 C +mild headache probably from too much sneezing.
Difficulty breathing when i got to sleep but i took a nose spray and wasnt verry bad.
Now after 9 hours,a warm bath and 2 hours of sleep i feel almost healed.
For sure tomorrow morning i will have no sign of this and probably will even test negative if i do the corona test.( im not sure its corona).
I expected to be much worse but it was actually just 30% of the intensity of a regular 24hours cold.
Still skary due to the circumstances.Actually it was soo skary at somme point that ive considered to take a Xanax wich now im glad i didnt.
Now il have to self quarantine for 2 weeks to protect otthers in case its corona.
The bee pollen jar wich i think it helped me and toilet peper used as handkerchief ,proof of the cold.

Thanks! Any idea when fruits will form?
On my top 5 fruits i put mango first but thats because its a tropical fruit.The hibrid thogh its on par with the best mango and altough i have that big tree i only get to eat 2-3 fruits per year because all the fruits of that tree are being eaten by family .
Il be trying to do somme air layering on it for a friend this year and in case im successfull i could send you one with roots.
