Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cocktail guava tree???

« on: June 14, 2017, 11:16:22 PM »

I have about 4 varieties of guavas that I want to graft into a single one. Already I know that guava grafting is not that easy, but I did read that approach method is probably the best chance to succeed. But am I being too ambitious? I seldom hear guava grafting success stories, let alone a cocktail tree. Good to hear your experiences so that I know what my chances are.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Purple maroon guava

« on: December 28, 2016, 12:59:29 AM »

Had this recently, and the taste was absolutely fantastic. No grittiness and very sweet and berry like taste. Unlike those I have tasted previously. What is more interesting is that the core has turned almost dark purple bruise like Color, it's not over ripe but just nice. The core has become a purple jello and it's a pleasure to eat it. I know that guava has a high level of pectin and that have resulted in this. But it's still amazingly to see that.

I wonder if the others growing this guva

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Rusty looking Sapodilla from Thailand

« on: October 20, 2014, 04:33:43 AM »

Hi all, i got these from the local mkts, supposedly from Thailand. They are rusty looking and looks similiar to a Canistel fruit. But i find them to be nicer than those other common varieties more readily available. They are must less gritty and take only about 2 days to ripen from a rock hard stage. Any more information on this variety will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Have you seen anything like this on guavas?

« on: August 26, 2014, 11:58:15 AM »

There are in fact about 4 of such flower buds growing straight from the main branches. Really strange. Did any encounter this for their guavas?

The pic was taken at night, apology for the poor quality taken with my iphone 4. But you can make out the flower bud somewhere in the middle of the pic. Sorry it's inverted.

Cheers,

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Ultra tropical is not for Cherimoya

« on: May 06, 2014, 06:23:50 AM »

Hi all, I have been growing Cherimoya in singapore for about 2 years. I started it off from seed and it has grown slowly but surely into a healthy 1.5m plant. I am just curious what will be the fate of it in the coming years? Other than it won't ever fruit? Will it still be a healthy tree and maybe have flowers, but keep dropping? Anyone out there has made such a silly experiment like mine before?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Can separate the mother and son guava plant safely?

« on: April 14, 2014, 05:44:44 AM »

Hi, I was thinking of separating the little branch from the main stem, merely by cutting and rooting it. What are the chances? I thought it was still too young for marcotting. Otherwise, I will drop the whole idea.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Identify this passion fruit flower?

« on: April 07, 2014, 05:05:45 AM »

Is this Passiflora quadrangularis - Giant Granadilla? I notice that it is not as color as those pics I found from the internet. And it seems to be quite a bland fruit as compared to the other varieties. Any comments?

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Are guavas difficult to graft?

« on: March 06, 2014, 05:56:17 AM »

I have tried to do it many times, results are the same. But I am sure someone out there must have done it successfully using a certain method of grafting technique. I am talking about the tropical guavas( psidium guajava). Thanks anyone.

Cheers,
Jet
