Alexander: Please, what Eugenia seeds have you?I am in. Shipping costs from here are also low. Can the seeds germinate during colder months?
Mike: What to make a joint order from Europe? For 10 people, transport costs would be good. Other forwarding costs from the Czech Republic are only 2$ in Europe (postage + bubble envelope). From another country, perhaps even less.

Do you have scion's durian ? I mean free cutting ò them.Durian cuttings (scion wood) last maximum one day
Sorry, i'm not good at Eng

I got surprisingly good results from Raul's scions. I grafted four of them on Achacha rootstock and all four took but one died after pushing. I also grafted two more on bacupari miudo (G. brasiliensis) rootstock and got one take and one that hasn't died or pushed. I think one thing that helped was that I had all of them in the shade in a warm indoor environment, with their water trays filled with water at all times.One month is a long time to stay alive. Did you choose EMS or priority mail service?
That surprised me, because the scions survived a month-long journey. I wish avocado scions would last as long (they sometimes go bad in less than a week).
How many seeds to ensure dioecy?About Mabolo:

Can be grafted on to Bl, Sapote rootstock and is it dioecious?
Thanks
If you like strong French cheeses you'll love this one , very creamy . Not sure if it can be grafted on BL sapote , probably yes ....dioecious .
This guy is a very famous breeder in Taiwan. He introduced hundreds of rare fruits from all over the world.Good explanation !
He mentioned in the film that the new cultivar was selected from around 20~30 seedlings and has been grafted to other trees to see how the characteristics can be maintained. After three years all of the grafted trees show the following facts and proved to be commercial ready:
1. >600g per fruit
2. >100 fruits per tree
3. snow white flesh and will not turn brown or "watery"
4. fruit won't split in case of rain or other weather conditions
5. round shape to meet customer's likes
The name "Jiu Da" means "The fruits will last long and big"! Shelf life claimed to be 8~12 days. Many orchards in southern Taiwan started production two years ago and the fruits can be bought in the market.
In some area of Taiwan they fruit 2~3 times a year!
Grafting may be the only way to reproduce the same characteristics, so seeds won't help.
Last year I've sold and trade a lot of Lucuma seeds. The variety I have seems to be "La Molina".When is the best time for grafitng Lucuma seedlings? How long does it take to fruit from seed planting?
Should have seeds in a month or so.
