Devoured my first Seacrest, which was supplied by Rob over the weekend. No pictures, but nicely ripened to a full yellow color. Very Citrusy undertones with the flavor, somewhat more understated than lemon zest. Gotta say, I'm digging the citrusy mangoes that I have tried this year. Very pleasing flavor. Super juicy and delicious.

Seacrest is definitely a top tier mango, up there with the best. Of the ones I tasted this year, I most enjoyed the Seacrest, Coconut Cream, Val Carrie and the Guava mango. Another variety that made it to the "best of" list for me was the Peach mango. It is small but incredibly delicious.

A couple pictures of Seacrest, which I too enjoyed very much.

I was dropping my daughter of at a church for gymnastics class and decided to take a walk around the property and found some old fruit trees in the back portion of the area. I saw a sapodilla tree amongst others and started checking around for some drops. I noticed one hanging low on the tree and when I checked it it was soft and perfectly ripe. I snatched it off and tried it. It was just as about as good as any other sap I've had. But I thought saps don't ripen until picked. The fruit didn't look damaged in any way and was connected to the stem. Is this normal for sap?

Yes, can happen though they usually are fast to fall or eaten by critters.  By the way, YOU may have located the RAREST sapodilla, outdoing other "rare" sapodilla trees...

love the pictures of the illamas and 47 18.

your nuathong looks much different than the one I had...I wonder if it's the same...I got mine from a sale with plants furnished by Excalibur...nuathong was mislabeled as PPC...and ppc was mislabeled as nuathong.

the plant i have labeled as nuathong is bland...and seedy

I've been grafting the pond apple seedlings that have sprouted in my pond. I now have a Custard Apples and a Soursop growing with fully submerged roots, im curios to see how they will grow in the long term.

I bet your custard apple and soursop on pond apple do fine. Pond apple was used some time here by one nursery as rootstock for cherimoyas because it is so rainy here and can easily flood. The problem is that pond apple is a lot more vigorous yhan cherimoya and will send many sprouts from below the graft. If you don't continuously prune these below graft sprouts the upper scion will die out. I bet that is what happened also in Australia with the atemoya grafted onto pond apple, and that is how the pond apple took over vast areas of Australian swamp.

You are correct in this Annalysis Oscar.  I had grafted sugar apple & atemoy gefner on pond apple & we just could not keep up with the pond vigor.  Its the very reason I decide to go on my Pond apple holy grail instead due to frustration of the grafting failure.  Three of my friends have planted 100 selected pond apple out in Loxahatchee when we were snake head fishing four years ago in C-14 canal that hit this canal is brackish, we catch snook, jack trevally, shark & tarpon beside snake head.  Two to three months we be out in this everglade section to taste the fruit if good or not; hope us luck in finding something the local Raccons & Pacu fish can call edible too! 

Going to be the area today. Any good places to buy tropical fruit?? (Looking for jack fruit, mangos, sapodilla, etc)

Hi! I would like to buy Genova Red Seeds. But how much is the shipping charges, please let me know.
