Well folks it got really cold the first four months while I was RVing through Florida and returning home I found a bonanza of Firm Rollinia.















The colds ealier has destroyed the fruit to develop and ripen property and the taste were awful.

Been on RV and Campaigning for A political candidate and came home to find squirrelnado had done immeasurable damage to my tree.  I had chainsaw in December 2015 most of my annonas to four feet stump to Sherman scorched earth policy  on the squirrels and they repay this Choctaw Indian with kindness by biting off all the little developing coconuts.





I was hoping at least 80 coconuts but now I have to declare war on my Native Furry Brorthers; the Tree Rat Tribe.

I have also discovered that immature coconut split suicide due to uneaven precipitation I think , since being gone for the better of six months on a hurricane political season retirement junket, the psychological lost crop of 2015/2016 left me with discouragement for tasting the plant world version waigu kobe beef or bluefin toro.

This Parkland Orange snob no latex is the best breeding of my Boca Orange Snob lines for processing & au naturel.  The fruit is smaller  than the Boca Orange Snob line families with smoother skin that turned spotted black when it starts  to ripen on tree for up to two weeks without loosing its crispness, high starch contents and flavors(no seeds strout inside like Bangkok Lemon, Other varieties etc.).  The Annona Mafias's processing plant is able to save about $569,000 per annum from the thinner skin and no latex as compared to the spiny skin low latex varieties on their Hybrid German-Japanese peeling and decore separation plant.  Processing ten tracker trailers per hours.  The tree ripen carpels are dry chip process with the tender high brix rags process into ice cream emulsion for a base to improved low end industrial God Forsaken tasteless  Tommy Akin into tasting like high end alphonse mango ice cream in China.

Now most of you are well aware by now that a lot of process food in China are fake just like Chinese Dry Wall, there's no real Mangoes in their Chinese Ice cream unless it comes from the Annona Mafias's. The peel from jack are process into an excellent feed for fattening Waigu Beef for the Northern and Western China Markets.  So next time you are in Northern and Western China you can be thankful that super expensive Mango Ice Cream is the real deal, really nothing's more than Americans' favorite supermarket Tommy Akin mango cross with a Parkland Boca Orange no latex goumet rags (without lactose milk products to Offense the Chinese Stomach).

Hi! I am planning a plant-chasing activity in Feb/Mar to chase up the thornless durian and 3 Papedas rumoured to grow in the boonies of Mindanao. I am also after an Iba (Phyllanthus acidus) that is supposedly cream-coloured and very astringent compared to the common one which is green.
 
Any suggestions what other trees/plants I should try to find as well? I am mainly an oddball citrus collector but I did get  request(s) to look for some ornamental vines and plants so anything goes, I guess.

Maybe you can scrounge up Pinoy Native Willughbeia for us?  I am sure they are of genetic differential from the Bornean one!  Good luck and we wait on your head hunting posts!🤗

Check with me in March when I am back in South Florida And Also Nullzero is coming to South Florida, and I beleive he is growing them too; we than can have a menage a trois trade for em Trade Wind Alumni.😄

I am looking to purchase Momordica dioica seeds. If anyone has it would be a great help thank you.

Stephen why didnot you contact me six months ago, i was weeding them off my willughbeia Maryoto(unknown willughbeia maryoto send me very late in season and it seem quite cold hardy).  They sell the fruit at Foodtown in Davie and Foodtown in Riviera west palm beach!  I will see if any seed or root will sprout this soring and you are more than welcome to get this common weeds if ciw pasture!

Hi Maryoto

Can you describle the taste of Willughbeia elmerii ?

Thank you !!!

Ricardo

I'm confused to describe the taste.
But it's sweet and tasty, with a slightly soursop taste.

Maryoto the best Willughbeia hunter seller, thankyou for promising this old man  you are getting the Phantom Willughbeia Elmeri shortly before I am going to died of waiting.  Seriously Maryoto you bring music to my ears; taste like sousop eh; fantastic I be sure to name this  willughbeia  elmeri Variety Maryoto's Soursop!🤗 Pm send you are the best!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤐now just dont tell anyone the collection location😆!

Returned from Brazil this week after being in transit since October.No mould or rotting.Tissue and cloth promote rotting and mould,vermiculite is ok as is peat moss but vermiculite is better.
On to the scrap heap for this lot.Most seeds don't make it to Brazil any more for me.

Nor do they come out of there either for me too!😭

Please don't call it "Porto"... I'm a BENFICA guy so associate my name to Porto is a little bit offensive to me.

P.S.: for the distracted ones reading this please be aware that "Porto and Benfica" are the two major Portuguese football teams (Soccer for the Americans), being Porto the team from Oporto City and Benfica from Lisbon.... same as Real Madrid and Barcelona for Spain.

SLB...SLB...GLORIOSO SLB...GLORIOSO SLB

CARREGA BENFICA!

My Apology for offending all the Porto Rican and Portugese Fruit Fanatics of footbal persuasion, I am bad!😂  Miguel how about Miguel Blonde Europa Araca Boi!  👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 When I think of Portugal the first thing that pop in my mind is Port Wine🍷🍾 and I thought Porto sound like a Neutral name for origin of the cultivar you have selected; I am glad you point out the correction or we end upon replacing tomatoes with Araca boi as hooliganis projectiles at these soccer matches over colorful disagreement.  Yes in America we have our sport religion too and its just sacrereligious to unmentioned a few things but we used guns to settle the matters at tailgating parties.

This hiccup remind me of producing an earlier version  line of Pakistani Low Latex Jack that is sold to the South Asian Market in New York and New Jersey about 25 years ago.  I call up the Pakistani/bangladesh buyers told them I have the Pakistani Jack they ask me to grow and they buy mine by the containers.  I call up the South Indian buyers and they try a container and call back its a hot seller.  They ask me its so good what variety, so I said Pakistani; no reorder came.  This was a time when you had conflicts between India vs Pakistan and the Civil war in Siri Lanka rage on seem endless or something like the fog of history I can not recall!

So I call up my College Buddy Dharma(who gave me the original business contacts) in New York by than a prominent International lawyer and his Wife Sohini a Goan Indian CFO of a Biotechnology company in New Jersey.  They had a lot of death threats and of resistance from both Siri Lanka Tamil Tiger Side of the Family Versus Indian side when they got married here in America; being Native American I was the Neutral best man and told the wedding parties that the Old world problems stay behind in the old world.  Dharma gave me free legal counsel for free;  S. Asian Community in America has not integrated fully so they told me what we damm American is Good at; change the name!  And Sohini his wife is some high Brahman caste chic and she counsel me to name it High Class consciousness.

 The hardworking Jew in New York were Highly respected and often imitated by the S. Indians whom work for them and came to Associated Boca Raton as Were Rich Jews go to retired and President of the United States  Come to Beg!  Ok I call up the Indian Buyers and told them I got ten containers of Boca Snob jack better than what they sample ( same thing under new management--name change) and very popular with the Jewish Folks down here (I gave samples of it to all my Jewish friends and neighbors and they love it especially all the Rabbi and Lawyers, its 95% in my hood and I am the Token Redneck Choctaw Indian Mixed trail here)  sold!  I sold five containers to the S. Indian at triple the prices and I call up my Pakistani/Bangladash buyers and told them the Indian is buying this Jewish Jack grown in Boca Raton ( at one time this whole city of Boca Raton was the Largest Mangoes and Pineapple Plantation) and double the price for the Pakistani buyers Loyalty; they won a fixed five years forward contract.  My Indian buyers what the market will bear!


All I can say is the Fruit War in New York/New Jersey  between these two new immigrants over a name with their old world rivalries in America saved my ass, rather than a financial loss I keep buying land back that the White Man stole from us when Columbus arrived in the new world in Northern West Palm Beach or is it the Bahama or Dominica I forgot, please excuse this old fart!

Sohini is a genius for naming it Boca Snob Jack, back than the fruit was not as red orange thick crispier flesh and nor practically no latex as the several different line generations developed now grown in Boca Raton (actually West Palm) and several other counties in S. Florida.

I recall many years ago when I work for Morgan Stanley, I recalled people were demonstrating and boycotting french food, wine and demontrating at burger king, Mcdonald boycotting French Fries Everytime the French DeGaul-Mitterand stick their fingers Up our ass, the USA.  Its stupidity, like Emanual Rahm; never miss an opportunity to profit on a crisis.  I short the restaurant stocks and than write cover letters on my options and retired early from that stressful Walkstreet Money Management job after seven biblical years of  trading horses.

So Yes Miguel no offending fruit name for this political correct site; now how will I profit, maybe I buy up all the port wine in Portugal! 🍷🍻🍾 Or buy arm stocks and Get The US To invade Portugal and seperate these warring soccer city states; nah I just watch you guys slug it out on ESPN over a bottle of Porto Vino!😜

Well all unknowns start with one own inquisive conviction and if it bears fruit, you will be a genius.  If it does not at least you try and no one else has and that is the fun of our backyard breedin.  I say if you have room, go for it.  It would be interesting to see what hybridized among the kissing Cousins, its like smashing atoms and see what come out.

Not related, but I grew a lot of different experiment variety of Jack in the "Fruity Acres" of West Palm beach that the Annona Mafia of Taitung gave to me.  Because I was lazy and have many other more profitable economic endeavors outside of agrinomy, the united of nations of jack did natural cross on its very own and produce interesting jacks after three decades at one property; and we send many unique specimen to Taiwan, Southern Japan and Southern China for the professional PHD Academia Breeders that we hire dirt cheap to further develop the Tai-Pan East Asia Dry Jack interest.

Go for it, be interesting what you will see in thirty to forty years, it could be of commercial interest or a fun backyard breeding accomplishment to your satisfaction.   

The Baracoi Snob is flowering again, setting fruits for January 2016 and my wife will be thrill we are having this everbearing pot cultured friendly fruit for italian gelato tonite!  Last fruit 2015 Harvest today, if we have this repeat 2015 results in 2016, folks I dare say we got a named Araca Boi variety.  Nullzero will have a name voting poll; I am partial to Named it Redneck Baracoi Snob!😆







I know it's appear that I am always selecting and breeding for fruit trees that have everbearing tendency; us Redneck git a big families og y'un an most our clans y'all  are not drownings in wealth; just a lot of love and good eating, anything to makes abundant is to share all.



Of the 200 plus seedlings grown out in 2015 as I recalls, many had die in my Choctaw Gauntlet Selection, here are two I couldn't believe my eyes its flowering this early 10 months and grown in the regular soil taken from the coprolite neighbor I hate next door when he snowbird North👹'; its pure sand an coquina rocks full of the finese root knot nematodes I could find.

If you have a Araca Boi that is unique I would like to add it inti my breed/ selection process!  Preference now for one that is grown in poor soil and neglect but kicked out fruit and flower super early!  I buy or trade, I want seeds or seedlings thanks in advance!😃👍🏻👍👍🏾👍🏿

Adam Cashew leaves are the nicest fragrant but unfortunately I found out the hard way they gave me rashes and related to poison ivy I am told.  So I am growing Luc dwarf cashew, hopefully that have less toxity than it giant brother to bother me.

Anyway look like I will not be able to stop up in your hood first of January to visit several esteem forum members like yourself to drop off some goodies.  Pm me with your address so I can send them, wife decide to RV up in the Panhandle so my evil plan of spreading invasive fruit species to Central Florida did not materialize.

Oh well at least fly fishing in Panhandle not so bad while I secretly spread Chewy Sugar Apple and improve Pond Apple around in the National Forest just dont tell anyone.  Future Raccoon will thank me for it and await my sweet return embrace.  Ah retirement with my wife and I cant do crap I want.  Oh well she is my pride and joy what can I say!
