Hey Ed------- are they grafted to get both sexes per plant?

Buongiorno Pan ----- I can send you budwood from my Pickering.  Also Cogshall, Sweet Tart and Lemon Zest.  Let me know.   If you would like I have 5 small seedling Pickering trees started this year.  Finding a small grafted Pickering will take some time.

Yum yum looks good.  The cherimoya I had in Barcelona were really great.  I think I'm getting into anonas.  Will send you a PM.

Potting in a cloth bag like a Jackpot will speed up the growth rate dramatically.  And you can step up the pot size as needed.   I have a grafted Genip that languished for several years in plastic pots.  It  tripled its size in one year after repotting in a Jackpot.

Anybody growing Moon and Stars.  It's an old hairloom variety.

My Cogshall is doing great after 2 years in ground.  Came from Excalibur.

Little mangos forming


Haven't put anything down yet this year.  I fert monthly with 6-3-16 with minors from Diamond R.  February to November.
No signs of drop off, disease or panicle wilt.  Except when my new Min Pin eats the lower buds.

Water two inches deeper than the live trap....

Big possum can have a 3 inch snoot.

Seriously --- I have been looking for a container with live trap dimensions.  Still looking.

Here in PSL the Home Depot or Lowes has seedlings in the spring.  Produced by Bonnie.

Culantro makes the best sofrito!!!

And the 2 plants I put in the raised box are still alive.  Produces thick very funky green leaves.  Must top off the seed heads or that is all you will have.

Go to Excalibur nursery in Lake Worth.  Today is good.

are you making possum stew with your critter hauls? 

Funny you should ask.........ran into this recipe.   Sounds interesting. 

Wild Possum Kebobs
Ingredients:
    1 Still breathing, corn-fed Possum
    3 Ripe but firm tomatoes
    1 Large white or yellow onion
    1/2 pound large mushrooms
    2 large green peppers
    1 package meat marinade
    1/2 cup soy sauce
    12 skewers (sticks are okay in Arkansas)
 
Preparation: The possum must be alive so that you can scare it, giving you the "wild" taste from all the adrenaline it produces. It is best to hit it over the head with a large object in a humane manner. Boil the possum for 3 minutes to loosen the fur then skin and gut it.
De-limb (chop the little knubby legs off) the possum and cut the meat into 1/2 inch square chunks. Marinate overnight in a mixture of meat marinade and soy sauce. Kentucky residents who have no fridge can use an ice chest and may use radiator coolant instead of soy sauce.
Thread the meat and veggies onto your skewer/stick in alternating sequences to distribute the delicious flavor evenly. Cook over a barbecue, pit, 50 gallon drum or any other fire till you get the desired result. For added flavor, you can cook it over burning tires.

The mocking birds started pecking holes in the fruit as they started to color up.  I check twice a day now and pick them off.  There are 2 plastic Owls perched in the Cogs now and they help.

The only fruit in the tray are Cogs and Glenn.  The tree was tagged as Glenn when I got it from Nelsons.   Tastes good but the Cogs are better.   Seeing less jelly since I started to pick earlier.

This is the Sweet Tart.  Only had 6 fruit.  It's still potted.  Got it this year from Trees n More.  Ate the first one and it was great.

Had my first Carrie at Trees n More nursery last year.  Mike had one in the frig picked at just the right time and cut it up.  I was surprised at the powerful flavor.  Very deep rich flavor with a good balance of sweet and tart.  Planning to graft some Carrie budwood on to my big Cogshall this year.
This is a very special variety.   Could eat a dozen in one sitting.  And skip dinner.

I grew seedlings of the following mangos that I got from the Squam 2 years ago.  They are 4 ft tall now.  Which ones would be good for rootstock use?
