Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Australian atemoya
« on: December 01, 2017, 01:30:08 PM »
It is not a geffner for sure because she has a geffner for sale.

Nah, it is a different cultivar being called Australia here. Steve said that it is a cultivar from Australia that he received from a grower in California. Tim and Australia are two different varieties being propagated by Fruitscapes. I think both came from "Tim" in California but I could be wrong about that.

I bought every atemoya Steve was growing this year and there wasnt one called Australian. He said Tim was a Australian atemoya.
Anyway I just text him to make sure and he said it's the same.

After watching this and hearing the description I wonder why this isn't more common.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: FOR SALE: 25 gal Ugly Betty

Hi.  Just saw this.  Thinking of getting an Ugly Betty.  just curious - why did you sell it?  production issues, size.  I am in east Boynton,, just east of Congress.
Thanks,

Just taking a guess but Rob hates carry. So by his description above, it might be the reason.

I on the other hand tried it for the first time this year and I though it was outstanding.

I had 2 this year grown on Pine Island. Never had this before. The flesh was all white, the skin was green with white specks. Had a resinous green taste. The taste was phenomenal.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mango tree blooming at the end of August
« on: September 23, 2017, 08:20:03 PM »
I was at a nursery today and saw a few mangos flowering. If I was to guess I'd say it is due to survival instinct caused by Irma and not a normal bloom. I wouldn't let one try to fruit this time a year.

Does anyone know how this tree grows? Does it need something to climb on? Shade/sun?

If you bought the plant it's yours. I think the patent just prevents you from legally propagating and selling the plants.

What does it taste like?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: I need more guavas in my life.
« on: August 27, 2017, 07:50:40 PM »
I just got 4 seedling trees from a friend, he calls it Luke's White Guava. Had a chance to try the fruit, great taste, soft sweet flesh, skin no bitter and hasn't had fly problems picked on the tree. He is in the Punta Gorda area and has more well grown in tree pots for $12.00.






I would be interested  in one of those.

I don't like Ice cream banana either. I find them mushy like you say.  Namwa or apple are much better bananas imo.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / ZHPP on Hypoluxo Farms Rd

There doesn't seems to be a real website for Zills.
So I have a few questions. If anyone wanted to can they just go there and buy trees?
Hours of operation? Any other info would be helpful.

I might have a few available soon. My pineapple annona, which by many accounts is a. glabra, has a nice fruit going on it, maybe more. Not sure how many seeds per fruit these usually have, or how long till it is ripe (currently around baseball size), but if you are interested will keep you in mind and let you know.

You should post pics of your fruit and let me know how they taste.
