I had some nice Chempedak seeds from Han Sen as well but they were dug up and eaten by some animals.
I finally got a ripe papaya. The plants did nothing all winter/spring. Was a long cold season. The fruit is pretty good, no seeds thats nice. Not sure what that means? The whole sex of papaya plants is a bit confusing. One tree was not making fruit so I killed it. Im down to 2 trees.
not sure, what are some of the common names? I don't think I have.
Did you try Kasturi?
A friend of mine here in Vallarta has some of those! Is a Sapodilla but with a kind of red flesh instead of the regular beige/ brown one, and a some mamey notes, some people believe is a hybrid between these two, hence the popular name here " mamey- sapote" as sapodilla is refer here as " Chico Sapote"that's a novel idea!I was at Zill's a while back...and tasted a sapodilla that had a flavor of both mamey and sapodilla.
Does anyone know what type this may have been?? It was really nice.
Couldn't you just ask Zill's?
One of the employees was eating the fruit, and didn't know what cultivar it was (the fruit even had some red in the flesh, like mamey) Yes I suppose I could ask Zill, but was wondering if anyone else had tasted a sapodilla that was reminiscent of mamey..and if they knew the cultivar name.
I suppose this fruit I tasted was much more special (rare) than I realized.
but I saved the seeds!!
Brewster and Huerng Lai have a strong rose smell
Simon
and it did not taste like the typical store bought lychee, it was like sugary rose water with some lychee flavor .
The average weight of Marula fruit is around 19.6g and mine is 24g, not too bad I guess
In my case, Yes it doesn't need cross pollination but having a single tree might hurt the yield. I have seen only female flowers on my tree and It produced about 5 ripe fruits and a few unripe fruits that got knocked out by a strong wind/Shamal.
what was the taste?
I'm jealous. Got my seeds in late 2014. Trees will probably reach the roofline this year after several years of slow growth. I have a probable female and my approach grafts from last year have taken (unknown and probable male). At least they're not as slow as the baobabs I got in the same seed shipment. That's still only 10 inches tall.

Does that mean that it doesn't need cross pollination?
Seems like same Ebay seller is back with Pakistani mango varieties
Is it still old scam or this time able to secure right budwood ?
QuoteEvilFruit, what's the NPK of the food that mango is getting, what's your soil profile like including the pH? Not a Mg issue. Mg deficiencies only show on lower leaves as a pale yellow hue but can work its way to the mid level. It's a mineral transportation thingie regarding Mg.
Hi Mark,
This mango is supposed to be Ewais or Taimoor Mango from Egypt.
My soil is pure sand, desert sand. It is very poor in almost all elements that is essential for plant life. As for NPK, I use water soluble fertilizer (19-19-19+1MgO) that is injected to the irrigation line and granular Fertilizer (8-8-16). I also add Trace Elements powder every three weeks and I use potassium sulfate before the plant start flowering. I don't use the full recommended dosage by the manufacture, I use only 1/3 of recommended dosage and some organic fertilizer (manure, compost) when I have it.
I have never tasted my soil pH.
Here is the products I use.

I took a look at the photo of those leaves again. I don't see a real problem based on the mature leaves. They are dark green with no chlorosis evident. The new immature leaves show a very minor chlorosis but nothing I'd be concerned about. I think you're doing a great job considering the challenges you have.

We did get a lot of high 30s nights until last month and it was in ground without any protection. I am hoping it will start to grow since weather is warming up. I didn't see any mites, webs or any insects on the leaves so far.
