That's a nice home. Looks like it is in a very sunny location. I agree about the music. I think it would even raise eyebrows if played in public from people who could hear, but not see the video ...

Was this agreed to in the prenup? ...  JK, but in reality there are worse ways to spend your time and hard earned money. Get her involved in picking out the trees, and you may have a convert.

I'm certainly no expert on the species, but I will share my experience. I ordered from Oscar last year, and the seeds arrived quick, and I planted them. There was some issue with my weather I think, but I managed 2 sprouts ... one was clearly a super plant, because it grew so fast. I repotted it, and it grew even more, starting to branch even. It grew to about a foot or maybe more or less by Winter and it remained healthy and vibrant. Sadly, it defoliated and I think died, but, here's the important part. It deteriorated, not because of my growing conditions, but it got infested with scale somehow(scale is a serious problem in my garden), and succumbed to the damage ... I tried my best to remove all the scale, and took the leaves off, but I think it was too late. I keep it in case it sprouts from the bottom ...

So, I had to put in another order. It's a pretty plant, and not more difficult to grow than a Longan ... keep an eye on pests though.

What an interesting leaf shape. I thought it was another species at first, and was wondering "where the Jackfruit is", it almost looked like Pigeon Pea.

On a side note, welcome to the forum. I got a little excited when I saw your name, as I have a very fond memory of Malaga. When I was 13, I got to go to Marbella, Torremolinos, and Malaga and it was incredible.

I hope this isn't hijacking. Could this be used for suitable roostock for things such as Mexican Garcinia and Achachairu and Mangosteen? I'd be interested in buying a few, if you wouldn't mind shipping them.

While I wish you big success in the business, I hope you won't forget about your pal (and loyal customer) here in Maryland. Lol, I better order as much as I can before it's too much hassle for you to ship to me. 

Looking for grafted Abiu. Thanks

Tetsu:
What did you end up using? Your Mexican Garcinia seedlings? I hear you about the size. I notice the Mex Garcinia is bigger over all, and you would need a bigger rootstock of similar garcinia. I don't want to gamble with my Mex garcinia rootstock, because they are so slow growing, and I already lost a big one during transplant shock. I have two garcinia pedunculata, which are bigger naturally. I wonder if they would work. My achacha is narrow like you mentioned.

gunnar: sending you a pm.

vernmented: If anyone has grafted it all, it's probably Raul.

I wish I had a dozen too, Jay.  Lol

Thanks for sharing the information. It does make you wonder why growers in Asia would bother with grafted if there wasn't a benefit. I suppose this post supports that in fact there is a benefit. Maybe it's not typical, but maybe it is, at least there.

Is anyone ordering any and would be willing to cut me in on 2 of their scions? I don't need more than 2, so I would otherwise not order any if I had to order solo.

I was actually hoping for a section on orchids and tropical flowers, but then I remembered that's why we left gw ... lol but who knew at the time that I would prefer this format and system much more, and never care to go back to gw, even for flowers, so it's understandable to want such a topic here.

Mine are so slow-growing, they look like fakes. Lol, for comparison, my mangosteen puts new leaves out with better frequency.
