I was in Clarksville Tn on Thanksgiven. Visited Dunbar Cave State Natural Area.
The park has a list of the trees,which includes Asimina Triloba All I found was Osage Orange
I will check it out In the summer

The index numbers from Jim West are #1,2,3,6,and 8 .they are still small but looking good.

Allspice in the mertle family could possible be propagated like guava by root cuttinga air layers
check Mortens  fruit for warm climates in propagations of the mertle famaly.

I have a friend that has asimina reticulata growing wild in her yard.I dug up some in another location a few years ago
but only lasted a few years I fruited a assimina parvfolia in a 3 gal  pot the tree died ,

I think many of us can relate to this feeling of our past. I rember growing up on property that
my grandfather got from Dr. Eldrige Gale IN 1900 who was growing mangoes at that time in Palm
Beach. I watched him grafting mangos up intill he died in1947. I have gone back to see some
of the thees that are still there.

Last week end at the fruit conference, Craften Cliff  had us taste test of a number of cut up mangos.
First he had a dish of naomi mango which he said taste it and rate it #5 and to rate the others from
1 to 10 . Me I rated most of them only slightly above slightly below. One problem was some were too
 green or too ripe. This type test tends to blend the flavors all together. So subjective .I did not see
the final results but the naomi seemed to hold it's own.

Hi all--I would like to know if anyone has heard of "Ocean Solution"? If so is anyone using it?At our Okeechobee garden
club we were given free samples,also I saw it sold at the Palm beach rare fruit plant sale.
                                                                  I had two pots of finger -sops-annona famale - that looked very pale. I sprayed the leaves one one plant for a few weeks
 and the new leaves looked perfect,so I did the other plant and it did good also
      The product says it is from sea water and it has 90 elements       WWW.oceansolution.com  - Look it up
 

Hello  Karen Murphy,
    I was at the Manatee Rare fruit  sale.  So many plants to spark your interest. I have  had fruit on a 3 gal longan tree
take your time  and enjoy watching the fruit mature. 13 years ago when I was 65 I planted jaboticabas and fruited them
   There is a lot to enjoy in all phases  in the plant world from the experence of planting seeds and sharing with others.

My son and I Took a good two hour sunday drive to the Manatee RFC plant sale from Okeechobee.
We had a good time viewing everything there, but mostly we came to see Adams plants.
It was a great set up. I got to sample some Pitangatuba juice. I got to talk with Adam . I was sorry that I
could not get one of each,but I did get the lonely M grandifolia,a grafted rollinia, E.pariforma and a cambuca
It was a good experence and many frindly people

oh no two months ago I got three fruit from Adam . Three of the seeds have just sprouted they wont know that there
names have changed. I will break it to them gently
