Bump, looking to grow as many different cultivars as possible!

Thanks!

Nate

Try looking into Korean Natural Farming and rebuilding populations of indigenous microorganisms.  All about creating healthy ecosystems above and below soil level.

Got the seeds very shortly after shipping.  Marcos is the man!

Foliage was cut and I watered it after about 4 days of not having been watered.

Oh, very cool. Report back on your findings on the low heat intensity fruits. I live in Santa Cruz now and I have lost a significant amount of heat from where I used to live, haha.

I think Austin Barnhill on facebook might have some too.

Dang it, so used to being on this side of the forum that I completely forgot. Sorry about that mods, could you potentially move this into temperate for me?

Does anyone have experience doing Tissue culture on vasconcellea/carica? I just found out I have complete access to my universities labs/equipment to run my own TC experiments. 

Further, does anyone have suggetsions on best way to propagate V. palandensis? I'm thinking about bridge grafting onto Babaco so I can back up the plant. Has anyone tried air layering?

thanks !

The thing is it's late summer here right now. Hasn't had any cold temperatures outside of a pot.

My V. palandensis has been showing browning tips and necrosis in the tips of leaf tissue.  I'm thinking it's a nutrient deficiency or a root issue maybe? I'm trying not to over water it but maybe I am under watering it? The soil it's in is fairly moist and was receiving shade around the base until a few weeks ago where I gave it a little more exposure.  I also have a fairly high water table, about 2' below soil surface is heavy wet clay. I wonder if this is causing root issues? 
 Anyone have any ideas?

I think my plant is on the bring of pushing a flower cluster. 

I've had pretty positive experiences with fruitlovers...when the seeds are viable.  I've ordered quite a few times, ordering recalcitrant seeds and plant cuttings.  I've had fairly good success with certain seeds but in other situations, every single seed I receive is already rotten and beyond viable at the time I receive them.  I'd say I have had at least 75% of the seeds I've ordered from Oscar be completely unviable at the time of sowing. 

I guess that really kind of is the nature of the situation as most rare fruit seed sources (Trade Winds)will hold onto seeds until they are gone.  I love supporting you Oscar, but it's difficult when a majority of the money I'm spending is going to waste.  I think most people would really appreciate a listing of what is fresh or at least to check on the viability of the seed before shipping.

Nonetheless, I have sourced Plinia edulis from Oscar and they have been really strong vigorous seedlings.

Just potted all my Psidium's up. Have had amazing germination. A lot of things germinated within a month and within the next month, most of the seeds that hadn't germinated began germinating. I'd say I had 75-100% germination on the seeds. Thank you Marcos!

Nice, I have a hoop house that is single layer plastic but stays a few degrees warmer and protects from wind and rain. I am thinking about planting a variety of different vasconcellea in here for protected conditions. I would probably dwarf them and keep using them for cuttings until flowers show up.
