Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Why lychee drops fruits?
« on: July 13, 2019, 01:59:15 PM »
The scion wood can flower and set fruit but look at the size of the tree.  Theres no canopy to support fruit.  You would be better off letting it size up more and not spend energy on fruiting for several years. 

This is not directed at you.  Just a general comment and its been said many times here already.  Growing fruit trees isnt a race.  It takes time and usually makes sense to let trees get some size before letting them fruit.  Especially things that lack vigor in our climate like lychee and mango.

The tree is too small to hold fruit.

Vacuum pack whole ones and then freeze it.  Get them dry before vac packing.

It takes many months to get them rooted and growing but I will make more.  Can also sell cuttings for a buck if you guys want those.  What I do is fill a 1gal pot with potting mix then stick 5 or 6 cuttings in and stick it in the shade.  Usually a few of them spring roots and take off the rest die off.   So if you get a bunch of cuttigs its likely you would get some takers.

I don't know what you are asking?  I take cuttings and put in a plastic bag with wetted paper towel and send it.  Is that what you were asking?

How does the taste of Red Rover compares to Frederick and Possum Purple? Thanks

This is a cutting/clone of red rover.  Red rover is better than fredrick and purple possum.  Thats why I am propogating more of this vine.  I have several hundred feet of fence covered in 7 types of PF. 

Someone in FL bought this one but I have one more extra plant ready in a couple weeks for you K rimes.  Thanks.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: 1st cotton candy aprium harvest
« on: July 08, 2019, 11:19:51 AM »
Flavor delight tastes like an apricot.  Cotton candy is the only one that is more of a mix.  They are both really nice fruits but a regular old apricot is just as good. 

Snow queen and artic star are both super prolific and come on at different times here.  Taste is pretty much the same, sweet!  The snow queen fruits all look perfect.  My arctic star and spicy z both had skin damage on some of the fruit.  I assume from thrips but not sure.  These trees are all winners really.  Snow queen is definitely top tier.

They have fruit but they fall off after 12 months.  The fruits get massive and the tree cant hold them until the tree is mature.  Thin it down to 1 or 2 would be my advice

Ive got all the pluots and nectarines too if you want to sample it Oolie.  Artic stars were good but they are done early.  Snow queen, tropic snow, mid pride, evas pride, spicy zee and the pluots and apriums are ripe now.  And it looks like august pride will be way late along with double delight.

I tried some cotton candies and they are sugar bombs.  I can see what you mean about not as much body as apricots.  The flesh is more yellow than orange.  They have less acid too.  Its extremely sweet.  I took a brix reading on a couple of them and thry are 23-25 brix.  Took some brix readings on the tropic gold and they were 25 also.

Has anyone come across good references for passion fruit cultivars? I’m especially interested in yellow varieties for their supposed longer harvest.

Purple passion fruit have a longer season here.  Im getting fruit for more than half the year.   Ive got a yellow lilikoi and it requires more heat input to grow and flower.

We just got done up-potting the drain fruit cuttings we got from @spaugh last year. Finally seeing some growth.







Nice, give them plenty of balanced fertilizer and consistent water to take advantage of the summer heat and make them grow fast. 

Avocado/citrus fertilizers are good for young plants that need to size up.

You also want to prune off excess branches and train a single vine up the sticks if you plan on putting them on tall support.  The plants do better if trained into a long single vine and then allowed to branch up high vs letting them become a bush.

Haha.  You should really make up some new names if you plan to share scions.

The seeds are from stewart and sir prize.  But the trees do not come out to be exactly the same as the parent.  Surely you understand the only way to have a sir prize or stewart is to graft it.  Im not trying to nit pick you, what I dont want to happen is for scions of those seedlings to be spread out in europe and propogated and be called something they are not.  I hope that makes sense.

Stewart avocados growing...
 


Sir prize
 


Bacon avocado small fruits
 

 


Luis, thats awesome you got some avocados hanging !  And new seedlings growing.   You should call them "sir prize seedling" or "stewart seedling" or give them new names as they aren't really sir prize or stewarts, they are new types.  You don't want to spread scion wood of these and call them something they are not. 

Is the bacon also a seedling tree?
