Girth?
Calling Patrick. ?.please let everyone know how your, ahem, Mahachanok is doing you got from ebay.Rob, Do you know the seller? I had a bad experience with them and their packing for me was horrible. My plant never had a chance to begin with and sadly didn't make it. I was an early customer when they first started selling on ebay, so that may have to do with their poor packing method back then?
He showed the kind member who have been sending me mangoes, how to pick to ship long distance and all made it fine. Most of the varieties ripen within one week after getting to me in CA. They took flat rate of 3 days, still nice and firm. Though some varieties have an earlier time than others did, but most only took about a week and few days to ripen.Welcome to the family, what kind of guava are you growing on such a large scale farm?
Hi All,
My name is Ahmed Dirir and I live in Somaliland in Horn of Africa , http://somalilandgov.com. I am establishing a new Guava Plantation on a 10 hectare piece of land with good quality soil and excellent quality and quantity of water through borehole I dug few years back. This is my first large scale project in fruit tree farming and my knowledge of propagation and management is basic.
I moved here from UK around 8 years ago and my main business is drilling water wells. I am now really committed to establishing high and ultra high fruit tree orchards in Somaliland as 90% of fruit and vege is imported.
I've really joined the forum to gain support from members knowledge as Somaliland is a new country and there are agricultural extension offices or consultants here.
I'm 40 , married, no kids and love farming.
thats me.
mod edit: Sorry for the thread hijack, but I am going to be merging every post with pics of mango fruit from 2014 into this thread.
6 varieties sent to me from a very generous and kind forum member
Can't wait to try Langra Barnrasi, Philippine and Lemon Zest, for the very first time, when they are ripe. From last year, NDM is my #1 favorite, follow by Glenn, Carrie, Kent/Keitt tied, Fairchild, Haden and Van Dyke. These are just the Fl varieties i've tried so far and these are my ratings. Taste is subjective, so i'm sure many of you will disagree with my ratings, but that is ok
Thanks Null,I have 1 Selenicerus setaceus rooted plant that has two section and can be cut into two pieces. So 2 people interested in getting them can have it. Also have a well rooted pad with a small, but good size new leaf pad of Nullzero's Opuntia ficus-indica selection "Jereonimo M.V.".

I'm sad, because I'm relocating out of state to the Midwest and won't be able to grow many things anymore. So, I need to sell them ASAP this week(leaving on the July 1st)
Pm if interested ASAP!
Thao,
Sorry to hear about the move (I know its tough parting with lots of plants and figuring out what to do), good luck with everything.

Hello,everyone.I like Pudgy, just curious what breed of chicken is pudgy?
I am a novice famer.
I plant several tropical fruits in Zhanghua of Taiwan which is Subtropies weather.
It is a challenge for me.
The weather is cold during December to March.
Some fruits seem to can not bear the weather here.
For example,there are many Taiwanese(including me ) try to plant mangosteens
,but mangosteen glow slowly even hurted by the cold temperature.
In my opinions,it is not smart for me to plant mangosteen.
On the other hand, such difficults attract some Taiwanese who have a taste for gambling.
Maybe some tropical fruits are wrong in Zhanghua.
I will try again and find out the right fruits.
Now, share my fruit trees with everyone.

Poly, I think this is the same as what Laverne use as their rootstock and what they sell as Manila?Bad news! Is not Manila!! Is the Ataulfo, aka Champagne mango, still good but not as good as the Original
Manila! ( at least the ones in the pic )
It's confirmed bought several cases just so I can get the box and the box says ataulfo.. Any one know if we can use these as root stock?
And if they are mono or poly?
Bad news! Is not Manila!! Is the Ataulfo, aka Champagne mango, still good but not as good as the OriginalThat's what I thought too when I saw the name of the super market, we have the same store here. And they advertise it as Ataulfo all the time, must be a marketing tactics more down south to market to the larger Hispanic and Asian population there?
