They look nice and red, but are still hard and crunchy.

Nice, thanks, they look  like the ones from El Salvador, except a bit smaller.

Thanks for the information Shiro and Fleep.
I was able to get some scion wood in a local scion wood exchange and 3 of them took, So now I am hopeful that next year the production will be better. If not, I am hopeful that as the tree matures it will be more productive.

Hi, I have a Comice pear in my back yard. The tree is about 6 years old and even though it blooms profusely it doesn't fruit. I just found out that it needs a pollinator, so I was thinking on getting scion wood to graft into it to hopefully get it to bloom. My question is. Does any one have any recommendations of what particular scion wood to get and where can I buy it? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for these beautiful fruit. I am going to let them get a bit wrinkle before I eat them, they are almost too beautiful to cut into them.
How many vines do you have? My vine only produced about 8 this year (second year in the ground) I let them wrinkle so much before I ate them that I thought them may be rotten, but they were perfect inside. I hope next year I will get more, but mine only get a little purple not as beautiful as yours. Thanks again!

Welcome Sylvia. :)I have learned a lot here.

What is the difference between the Pakistani and the Himalayan Mulberry?

Amazing! Congratulations.
I have a hard time just trying to graft mango to mango What's your secret???

Nice work! It gives me hope that one day I can try my own. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, I was in El Salvador and a friend gave me a few of these fruit. They do taste just like regular tamarind, but are different shape. I found some information in goggle. Its name is "Vangueria Madagascariensis"
I want to grow the seeds but I need to know more information about it, I didn't find much info on line. Thanks

Simon, I get them from Erickson farm every year. They are very good.

Jeff, when you say "a few pounds a year" for a small tree, do you mean? 10, 20, 30lbs? and how often should it be spread around the tree, all at once? or a couple of pounds every two week? I just planted my first one last month so I want to make sure it gets what it needs to prosper. Thanks in advance! XE

I have a mission fig in a 30 gal pot that is not producing any fruit. It looks nice and healthy but its just full of leaves. Its been there about 2 years and have only gotten one little fig so far. What am I doing wrong? I live in Phoenix AZ. so I put it under partial shade. Any suggestions are welcome.
