Rob, that sounds fantastic, please update when Truly Tropical announce the dates for their u pick days.

That u pick jackfruit sounds good too, keep them coming

Thanks for the all the reply thus far

Sorry, no seeds. Just pic im trying to help a friend identified.

Thank you, that seems like the right plant

You can try White Dove farm in CA http://www.localharvest.org/white-dove-fredricks-passion-fruit-C5647

I got one too yesterday along with a few longans, one black sapote and a few mac nuts.

That would be great to get some fresh lime seeds, just let me know when you will have them 

Anybody interest in them? I have 5 pits, from the fruits I got sent by David Johnson of the San Joaquin valley CRFG chapter.

This is what Mr. Johnson(who got bud wood from the wife of the original owner of Dave Wilson's nursery )said about it:
It was the end result of personal research project by Mr. Wynn, the then owner of Dave Wilson nursery. I got some scion wood, from Mrs. Wynn, I hope I spelled their name correctly. Any way, the fruit is medium large, black skinned, ripening now. The flavor is strong, skin is thin and black, but not what you would call thin thin skin, you can peel a well ripened fruit. Like a Mexicola Grande, they due tend to much stronger flavored as they age, but not as fast. This season, the second year after fruiting, it seems to be a every other year producer. The research seed came from some tree in I believe NorCal, wonder if the strain is related to other early NorCal Mexican avocados brought in, in the early 1900s. It is similar to a Duke, but stronger flavored and thicker black skin. It also resists rot, unlike most avocados that quickly carry rot into the flesh, this one does not. and exposed flesh, does not readily turn brown or black upon exposure to the air. Similar in shape to Duke, as well, also develops a very lose seed that rattles. The tree form is weeping, fairly aggressive, the leaf narrow like a Duke or even more narrow, but not yellowish like a Duke leaf. If picked right, good taste, if picked too mature or stored too long, makes excellent guacamole or does well in cooking. One large limb on my multi grafted tree, produced 2 to 3 hundred fruits, this year, only produced maybe 3 to 4 dozen.

I would like to trade for a sugar apple seedling(red/ purple is prefer, but green a. squamosa is fine too), 1-2 cuttings of Haliey Comet DF, pandann plant/seeling, or some fresh kaffir lime seeds.

and sorry I don't have any bud wood, for that, you would have to ask for Mr. Johnson's contact from me, unless you already know his info 

Perhaps there are some monoecious individuals or perhaps you had some native species near by that could pollinate it.  From a research article on the genus Zanthoxylum: "Moreover, the genus is dioecious, and therefore male and female trees must be in close proximity in order for pollination to take place and seed setting."

Could be that, but the times when I had the plant. I moved about a few times and each time, there were no other plants or person/s that also had a tree/s  that I know of. But could also have been a close one near by and I just didn't know it. Either way, I no longer have it and won't know if it's a mono or di.

Would have been great if I could have brought it up north to Wisconsin and test  to see if it's a mono or di plant, but will never know now..........oh well 

Nicely form clusters..............you still have many more in various stage of development............... just means more fruits to eat/sell/ give away etc 

Sadly, here in Brazil we donīt have options to build these fruits online. Only "normal" fruits (or ;)ange, pear, apple...) are available.

But you guys have so much more wonderful tropical fruits locally, so you're not missing too much

Notice the prominent disclaimer on the box stating clearly the prohibition of shipment to Florida.

Harry, that's because you guys can grow them as well, so no sale for you guys I'll gladly get some from you next summer, I couldn't get any from Alex(squam) this past season, he said the crop this year was scarce, so not worth it for sale. Though, I did get some of his lychee. They were ok, I would love to get some of your fresh longans, next year, if you sell them to forum members?

I have a late crop coming this year in late October/November.  I've never shipped and have a grower manage the grove from A to Z and he sells to a Chinese wholesaler.  Next year I may set aside a few trees to see if I can establish an online presence as well as by appointment only.  I'm not sure how much effort it takes to generate enough orders to make an online store feasible.  Any thoughts from someone how has experience in this is appreciated.

I had some come out in July/August and the were outstanding.  I gave some to friends who never tried them (and didn't even know what they were) and they loved them and want more.

I don't know anything about online stores, but if you do both on site/local sales and online sales(shipping), then advertise every where: CL other sites/forums, etc (here included), i'm sure you will get some business coming to your future business. Price should be competitive with other sellers around you(I think fresh longans range from $1-$5 /lbs retail? and whole sale may be a bit less, depending on crop availability that year and how much they buy(wholesale). But, just don't charge anything like how lycheeonline prices theirs, $14-$20/lb  .

I guess that works for some, but not all people/consumers will agree to that price range.

Just my .02
