I am looking for ilama tree. I live in FL. Does Anyone have any for sale? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
If I can get my hands on rootstocks then I may, did you ever get my pm? Sent it on Wed.yes, sorry I forgot to reply. I will let you know if I place the order. Anyone else?
Raul, will you be able to go back later in the year?
Jeff, I will go one time every time on the next two weeks cause I'm getting request of Scions of special trees and also because now is fruit season and I comeback with fruit, after that unless I receive a big order, I won't go back again this year, is an hour driving and hours walking picking fruit and scions, last time I left home at 7.30 and comeback at 5.30 and I usually going in my day off, so wife is not happy!
Thanks for my Ice Cream beans, I sat down and ate about 10 of them in one sitting.Delicious!
I also got a box of cherimoya from LocalHarvest, but I need to let those get ripe, so I was thrilled to be able to have something to eat right way.
even with thinning my christmas fruits are small and most are tasteless, imo not worth the space in the yardGlad I didn't plant christmas. Yehudah and bradenton have been worthwhile thus far. Yehudah is smaller than Bradenton but the flavor is excellent.
Imo, capulin is much better than all those
Dont know how it would do here. I have my doubts it would do well but I could be proven wrong. I think it may need to be grown at some elevation to thrive and produce well. We also may be too much on the sub tropical /tropical side here in South Florida.
So is the Pitangatuba the "Starcherry" ? And is that as good taste wise as the Barbados cherry? I love the Barbados it has a real cherry like component to it...
And rob where do I get a Pitangatuba of good quality?
I don't see what's so remarkable about this. Other growers bring fruit for the festival sometimes. I know David Burd does this every year, and that's probably who it came from.
Hi gunnar, i sent you a PM 2 days ago just to know if you shipped and if available a trackinf number, but no answer from you so far. Any news?PM sent
Unfortunately, no. It was far and away the best mango I tasted last year! I emailed Richard Campbell at Fairchild and was told that another grower brought them some mangoes which were sold at the mango festival (Kryptonite, Bolt, Marley, etc). That was where the trail went cold...
Sounds like someone reads too much High Times.
Also sounds a bit fishy on Dr. Campbell's part, "someone" dropped off a bunch of "unknown" mangoes of "unknown origin" that he put out to be shared, actually worse, sold, at the mango festival with thousands of people from all over the world. Seems like the good doctor is not being totally forthcoming...
Going to start shipping Inga Ice cream bean. $20.00 for a flat rate small box. I need your name and address . Payment thru Paypal mluciano@bellsouth.net USA only no over seas
Thank You Mike
Thanks for the replies, everyone. BTW, I forgot to ask a crucial question in my OP. This is my first time growing soursop, so which one is normal and which one abnormal? From the above replies, it would seem the split stem is abnormal, right? Out of the many soursop seedlings, I have quite a few split ones.I don't know if tipping is recommended for soursop but i did anyways.
I got a small angle between the two branches and the both basically remained vertical. (same thing happened with my Malay apple)
Also, what is tipping?
U got a dud!
some trees taste about as good as the pulp looks...caca!
I will try to send you some fruit from a tree that's known to make excellent fruits.
they have a floral flavor...reminds me of eating mousse that is flavored with the essence of delicious smelling flowers....it doesn't taste like chocolate...but if you whip it up with a little cocoa powder...it's God's gift to those who want a truly vegan chocolate mousse.
I hope you revisit this fruit again...
after a decade of tasting rare fruit, I've come to realize, in some instances...although you may have tasted a fruit...you have not truly tasted a fruit, until you've tasted a sample of the spectrum of flavors that a species can offer...the diversity in flavor/texture/quality can be astounding!
I have huge Chupa Chupa and maibe I can find Abiu for u. How mani u are interested in?
Gave my carrie tree away. Dug it up and planted it in a buddies yard and put in a fruit punch instead.
Lost a year but the too soft Carrie had to go and I needed the room for better tasting fruit imo.
Yeah, let's propose that theme for next year: Mangos of Zill.
If they ever did a Zill Mangos year, the Curators Choice would probably be:
Carrie
Dot
Gary
And
Angie
Fairchild
Mallika
Nam Doc Mai
Rosigold
Cogshall
Manilita
