We are literally freezing here . It already went to the mid 40s and my greenhouse isn't finished yet. Despite the weather changes, all my plants including the ultratropicals are happy for now ...

How close are you to finishing your greenhouse and are the leaves changing colors yet.Would love to see a photo of that I'm off to a glorious start of my Autumn. I dropped a log and got mud in my  eye.

Greenhouse isn't finished yet, will defininetely make a thread about that when completed. The leaves haven't started to change-happens in about a month but if there isn't enough rain they turn brown and look ugly looks like the weather is going to warm up in my area for a little bit so I'm thankful for that.

 Welcome to the forum! For big trees I would reccomend excalibur fruit trees down in west palm beach... Pine island nursery in Miami also has large trees. I know that you dont want to wait that long for fruit, but smaller trees establish faster and grow faster than larger trees(25 gallon and up)

I do agree with what you are saying, but not many people really use the scientific name...but useing the scientific name will result in less confusion though. Artocarpus altilis all the way!

Since they are not in the same family, it would be hard but doesn't hurt to try. I have tried grafting mulberry to jackfruit and it looks like it took...time will tell.

My relative out in CA has an oro blanco tree and it is my favorite citrus fruit. The fruit quality has been good every time I tasted it except once when it was left on the tree too long. It has very low acid imo. Tasted sooooo good that I even bought budwood from CCPP, but after a year the bud graft still hasn't pushed...

That garcinia fruit looks delicious!

Hedge Apple or Osage Orange tree. Not much chance they would bother this.

They wouldn't eat osage orange I think but the only part of osage orange you can eat is the seeds... and it is a wild tree not cultivated for its fruits...

I was being facetious I was thinking maybe the iguanas would impale themselves on the thorns

lol... Then I would add salak to the list also

maprang growing slow for me. want a larger tree, and then scions

is kwai muk a challenge for 10b? ...probably not

Kwai muk Is one of the more cold hardy artocarpus probably zone 9a-9b

The sound of music?   Anyway...I also just bought a fruit punch mango...Hope it tastes just like how its named. Off topic, but if you type three question marks in a row it makes a face

Yes, perlite is to keep the soil from compacting over time. A must have for potting plants imo.

Pull the plant out of the pot...if the taproot is circling the bottom then it is time...as for me I put the plant in bigger pot sizes than it needs to as I have less work to do and the plant grows faster...but like Brian mentioned the root can rot if you are not careful...also depends on the soil mix...noticed that the miracle grow soil over 5 years tends to deteriorate...that is why I make my own mixes.
