Fun! I've never really payed attention to either Edward or Cogshall, but i see 14 pages of posts on each. Edward seems to be more consistently praised than Cogshall.
Sounds about right. I think the hot, hot, day temps aren't as important as many think. At the very least 83F means it can grown far outside of the steamy summers most of the continental USA has. So,I would make it a recommended try in nor cal. My seedling has taken to the ground fast. Aultalfo when you fertilize it? develops a very dark green glossy leaf. I don't notice that on Baileys or Manila.
Its going to have to grow more for me to see if its more ornamental in the landscape as well as delicious.
Gary was tidy? All the Gary I have had this year were its usual off the chart.
LZs picked properly have been excellent. The Pineapple Pleasure have been sweeter this year, more overpowering tbe acidic component.
Tidy is perhaps local vernacular to say all is in place. Which for Gary, is great. Mine were a bit scabby but otherwise ok. 85% of their prime in taste.
Few consistent tasting mangoes this year. PPK was the most on its usual mark. Most LZ were subprime but the good were great. CC was great. Mario a pleasant surprise. Gary was tidy. Juliette was another pleasant surprise. Guava was delicious. Edward seemed better than ever. Graham was delectable. Dupuis was not its usual self but still good.

Since that is not a Florigon, you cznt make any parallel conclusions and comparisons to Florigon. In addition, you are not in a mango growing region, specifically Florida, where its an early season mango.
So you are saying it could be a Florigon seedling ?
Im just trying to figure out what it is.
Do you think it will fruit? They talked about planting mostly Jamaican fruits like Akee, Jackfruit, Mango etc. It might be interesting to see how it works out. Maybe they'll even work out a breadfruit or Jamaican nutmeg if they're lucky.
Mark, you should add Ardith to your collection come to our scion exchange on the 23rd
Hello Everyone. I really love tropical fruits and I used to order cherimoya online from cherimoya.com but they no longer offer that so I don't know where else to go. I also love atemoya very much and soursop too but there is no where I can trust online other than the one I ordered before. I know you guys and gals here are tropical fruit lovers too so I'm asking and hoping if you have any info or ordered from certain company before with good result. I live in PA and there is soursop and maybe sometime cherimoya but they are not sweet at all here. I was a member from gardenweb (ch3rri) if anyone remember.I want to say hi to everyone!!! Hope everyone is well!

I'm so sorry to hear about Roger Meyer passing . When did he pass ? He will be greatly missed 😢 I hope that he's tending to the " tree of life " in heaven.

I'd like some Beverly, Fairchild, and Icecream scions when available. Three or four of each would be excellent.
My elevation says 900 ft. How did you guys know whether they'll survive or not?
Because my neighbor has two guanabana for 2 years and his are still alive.
U think my huanabana wud survive in my area? ( san fernando valley)

FYI -
Mimosa in Los Angeles has sale on Lychees.
15 gal is for sale $100, original price $200 (5-6 feet tall). They have sweetheart, Mauritius, Brewster.
7 Gal is for sale $90, original price $180 (36"), too damn expensive compared to 15 gal.
3 Gal on sale for $50, size of some are better than or within 20% of 7 GAL. They have Kaimana.
I picked 15-gal Brewster and 3-Gal Kaimana. I will fancy my chances of growing Kaimana in foothills of Corona, 1200 feet elevation, I get decent chill hours too.
15 gallon Kaimana and Sweet Heart in full bloom...
JF is it safe to put them in the ground this week while they are flowering? I want to get em in the ground soon now the threat of Frost is over.
