I wonder if anyone can verify if they had distributed budwood of Arka to South America (Peru) soon after it had been released?
I suppose Dream could have been a seedling of Arka that stayed true, I've seen this happen with some of the variable atemoyas that are not true from seed, like Lisa (48-26)...so every now and then you get a seedling that is just like the parent, or not much different, from a tree that normally produces highly variable offspring.
Wayne said he planted the original Dream from seed, and he's not a liar.
Hey Adam
Scions can get mixed up and varieties renamed by mistake it happens all the time but as I remember Dream was advertised as dream cherimoya which is absolutely false. This is clearly an atemoya whatever name you want to call it.
Arka Sahan are delicious unfortunately are not true to seeds you will have to graft them. My anona sale is in March 2019Hey JF, how are the dream in SoCal? I have some growing from seed right now (im in norcal) should I grow to maturity or use at root stalk in your opinion?Frank,
What variety are those two fruits? Are they Dream atemoya? They look very tasty and great looking fruit to boot.
Vincent.
Hey Vince
Here in SoCal we call dream by its original name Arka Sahan....we believe they are the same variety
I was told Dream is the same as Arka Sahan Atemoya, is that correct?
I know Wayne Clifton very well. I have the Dream origin story corraborated by Wayne and one of my best friends that has been in the tropical fruit societies since the late 1980s.
Dr. Paul Beaver was active in the local Rare Fruit Councils before I started growing. I believe he lived in Tampa and owns/runs Amazon eco tours through this company. https://perujungle.com/
Dr. Beaver supplied some seeds from Peru that Wayne grew out and Wayne ended up grafting the most vigorous seedling to an established in ground Annona.
Here are some pics of my homegrown Dream fruit from this year. No grit, no weird hard areas around the seeds and A++++ flavor.
The fruit tend to be small to medium size here in Florida and it doesn't seem to crop heavily but I haven't seen a tree really heavily pruned, hand pollinated and ideally fertilized and watered either.
I love this fruit.
Scions arrived looking very nice, grafting tonight. Thank you very much. And the extras are much appreciated as well.
Do you have scions of Roxa Polpa?
Also, the auctions I do on ebay are private, so you can't go back and see the final price paid for each auction.
So in conclusion - in the case of your auctions (sales entries) and forum publications, after some time no one will find out at what price the product was sold. As for me, however, this is an little inconvenience, because by reading this forum you can not compare previous and current prices. The reference point also disappears. So If you want to set the sales price based on other offers it is not possible. Auctions (regardless of whether it is a buy now option or a public or private bid) disappear after some time, so the reference point also disappears.
In the case of your specific auctions, you enter the starting price, for example 30 USD, so in the case of your offer, the price is at least USD 30, so it is initially determined and constitutes a specific. My question is rather about price quotation for the auction with the option to buy now. In addition, I would like to find out if it is necessary in this situation to quote the initial prices / minimum prices for which a particular plant or seeds are put in the bidding option. Anyway, giving the initial price in the offer with the auction can be a good advertisement, especially if the auction will be from 1 USD. What do you think about Oscar? it's also interesting what the admin thinks about it. Thanks.
Is the price given in the auction reference, such as here:
http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=8605.925
Is acceptable? Should the price always appear in the content of the entry (eg under the link to the auction)?
In my opinion, the price (and the name of the product offered in the online reference) should be in each entry (on the forum), regardless of whether it is additionally in the link or not. It gives everyone - a nice point of reference. After some time the auctions expire and you can not check what the previous price was. Please, if possible, explain from the admin.
That's a nice Thai dwarf mulberry, with multiple branches.
My order arrived in great condition. Expert packaging!
Healthy happy looking plant. Seems to have fared quite well despite the hot weather.
Thanks!
My pitangatubeira produced the first two flowers this June, with the second flower setting a fruit. Seeds from FlyingFoxFruits.
The fruit fell off, during preparing the photo.
Very nice flavor. Not too sour at all. The only drawback is the large seed.
Something I noticed last year and again this year.... yesterday actually.
One of my seedling Pitangatubas has fruits with a loose seed inside when ripe.
Shake it and the seed rattles around inside the fruit like a walnut.
It's also has the best tasting fruits of all my Pitangatubas.... the sweetest... or the least sour anyway.
Anyone else noticed this characteristic with their fruits?
Kevin
What's the flavor of the Thai Dwarf Mulberry like?
Thanks again to everybody for tremendous response. Sorry to say that the Sapote de Mico is already sold out.
