The newer varieties of grapefruit are so sweet they don't need sugar, and a good mandarin is hard to beat, so those would be my choices.
I'm genuinely interested in hearing the name of those grapefuits varieties. I have an Oroblanco (or Sweetie. Still have to understand if they are different, but here everyone seems convinced they are synonyms) and i'm thinking to add some grapefruits but i'm still undecided on their names, and sweeter is better from my viewpoint.
Have any enemies?
The last time I saw something on this scale, it was a friend of mine who lost thousands in investments because someone who didn't like him sprayed roundup on most of his plants and trees. They all died in similar, quick fashion.
Hopefully no one has hit you with a bunch of herbicide. I'd have your ground tested ASAP.
Check the root systems and see if the death is starting below. I highly douby this is pest/fungal/mildew/bact related, as many of those varieties are resistant to such and wouldn't die that fast in the first place. Even viral wouldn't do this withour the plany showing signs of fighting it first. This definitely looks like chemical damage.
Better make sure your city didn't send out a notice about flushing your water lines recently. You may have killed them with watering if so.
I have never been a huge pear fan but decided to try a kind that i hadnt seen in the shops before because it looked totally different to the varieties I had seen before.
It was called Beurre Bosc it's a dirty brown looking pear with a very thin neck but it has converted me And I think I would possibly choose it over an apple even!
All the.temperate fruit.in the high end supermarkets is pretty good quality here(if in season) they have never named the varieties before much but are slowly starting luckily:)
What cultivators do you find are your favorite?
Yeah, I think the sameTabo has white pulp.I think Tabo fruit is willughbeia elmerii.
They looks similar, i mean Tabo and elmerii has big seeds and also rounded.
They are also big fruits.
If you're looking for Willughbeia cochinchinensis maybe i can help you.
A. Jahnii seeds are of a size of A. Spraguei seeds.
Radoslav,
Sorry to hear that it is not a good tasting producer for you. How hot do your summers get? I wonder if that cultivar might need a lot of heat to produce sugars?
Seeds arrived today, thanks a lot. I have a question, you described Tampirik seeds as : "Tampirik seeds smaller than Willughbeia angustifolia seeds, and has a black seeds color.", but color of seeds of Tampirik I got looks different. Is it just different light on your picture or what?
My seeds (Sawarakensis on the left, Tampirik on the right)
Your original pictures:
Hi Radoslav,
I took the photos while it was still wet.
I cleaned the seeds and took the photos, but when i took the photos it was totally different colored.
When the seeds dry, the tampirik seeds become a little brown.
Artocarpus can take from cuttings too.
Yes almost any plant can take from cuttings, using rooting hormone, mist house and waiting many months. That doesn't mean you want to start artocarpus from cuttings. Have you ever tried it? Not easy and not practical, especially for a plants that mostly fruit rather fast from seed, for eample jackfruit.
