It definitely is the Jin Huang (golden queen) variety from taiwan.  It's a late commercial variety there.  It has Kiett in its lineage which is why it's a late variety.  It supposedly also have a mango named "white" as the other parent.  Generally have to be harvest green and ripen later commercially.  I am sure it has other names in Thailand and other places.

Peach cobbler turns yellow for me and i would twist it off after color change.  I had one that i left one the tree and it fell.  While fruit was still good, a decent portion was unedible due to being too soft

As an internal medicine/pulmonary/critical care physician, I have to say the film is biased and is not really evidence based in any way.  The film maker started with some facts and truth to build credibility but then spun it in a completely different direction to serve his own agenda.  There is no doubt that lobbyist is everywhere in our society affecting every little thing we do in our lives.   Whether those money from these interest groups really affect the judgement of the guidelines, I really don't know (my guess is it does even its very little).  The film was somewhat credible until they follow those few patients for 2 weeks after being vegan.   I am sorry but patients choosing to come off their own medications for 2 weeks does NOT mean that they are all the sudden cured of all their diseases.  In fact, most of the deadly effects we see from chronic diseases come after months to years of having the disease.  What kills you from your hypertension is after years of hypertension and you get a deadly stroke.  Same with diabetes, most people don't even know they have it and can feel fine for months to years until they land themselve in the intensive care unit for diabetes ketoacidosis.  So bottom line is that 2 weeks is too short of a time to do anything.  They may be feeling better but it's probably placebo effect.

There is probably some benefits to being vegan but there are too many compounding variables to do a randomized controlled trial.  Vegans tend to be vegans because they want to be more healthy.  As a result, they tend to have better diet and exercise habits.  They most likely eat smaller portions and exercise 30 minutes or more per day.  So the effect they see may be confounded by those variables.

Bottom line is that we don't know if vegan is truly better than non-vegan diet at this time.  However, we do know that diet and exercise is good for us.  For those who want to given vegan diet a try, I would whole heartedly recommend it.  You just don't know if it works for you until you try it.

That's a very good price for buddy tape.  I paid close to 40 dollars with shipping earlier this season from another website.  Buddy tape is good for grafting because u don't have to remove it like tie tape.

Have three seedlings if u want it.  We can negotiate a price.  I am in cerritos right by the los angeles and orange county line

Keitts can be picked mature green and sit on the counter to ripen (when soft it's ready to eat).  However, you can also opt to tree ripen it.  It's not uncommon for keitt to mature in Dec/Jan in southern cal

The technique for lining up he cambrium would be similar to veneer grafting except u dont actually leave the little piece at the bottom to hold the scion.  I find it easier to tie two branches at a few cm above and below fhe cut which makes lining up the cambrium easier.

Yes, irwin if trained properly can be harvested at shoulder height.  Commercial growers in taiwan keep their trees low for easy harvesting and prevent the tree from getting blown over in typhoons.

As always george delivers fast and throws in some extras.  Thanks for the scions!

Lemon zest has been a powdery mildew magnet for me in my yard in southern cal.  It seems to get the flowers every season for me.  I would be interested to see if rootstocks could actually impart resistance to the scions or not.  As they are fungal diseases of the vegetative portions of the plants, i am not sure if the rootstocks could protect the scions.  Keep us updated

I have actually bought a tree with the black electric tape used as grafting tape so i think its possible to use it for grafting

It takes a while to germinate for me so just be patient.  Its otherwise very easy germinate
