What a coincidence.  I only had one fruit on my Ice Cream tree also. And just ate it yesterday!  It was good. 

2010 winter, yes had some frost. That was the first time my bird baths under the oaks froze over.  It was pretty bad winter for us. 

I did a forum search and didn't want to bump up older threads.  Just wanted to mention late July 2017, my Diamond River has just started flowering.   Strange time I think, but this variety seems strange. In previous forum discussions some people don't like this variety and dismiss it.  However, they concede that it does produces fruit when others don't. NOt trying to rub it in but inform there is a spot for this variety if you got space and want a consistent producer.   The past month has seen a two week and very hot drought, then flooding rains for the past week (about 3 inches a day in severe thunderstorms)  And, it has been Super warm 90F+ every day.   

None of my other longan (kohala, biew Kiew, Sri champoo) even flowered this year.  But, keeping an eye on them if they respond to the summer weather also.   

Hoping to score some late season longan this year!    In previous years my diamond river has produced early, mid, and late. sometimes 2nd crops.  Strange tree.  It is in full sun, never hand watered or fertilized.   Been in the ground about ten years.  about 15 feet tall.    It has a pretty weeping habit.   My Kohala and Sri Champoo tower over the diamond river and are going to get hat racked soon as they are too tall. 

Blabbing Below:
Also to report on my other tropical fruit trees.  I had tons of Glenn mango.  About 300 fruit on my tree.  Season is over. Early fruit quality was washed out however later on they improved and tasted like canned syrupy peach.    Rosigolds, pickering, also produced a lot.  Rosigold was really tasty this year.  this same rosigold gave me fruit in Dec/Jan also but only a few fruit.   Had my first Pitomba.  bought a bush in April, planted it, and it fruited.  Tasty fruit, glad I got one. Kinda like loquat/apricot flavor.    My Jaboticaba flowered and fruited 5 times since January this year. Tons of fruit this year.  It has been a wet year (with periods of drought) but I hand water my jaboticaba with rain water only and they are close to the house and I never let them dry out.  What a rewarding tree.  Takes forever to get to fruiting age but they are ornamental trees to by the time.   I'm thinking since last year's Hurricane Matthew tilted all my larger Jaboticaba  that it may have stressed the trees into heavy flowering.  My Jaboticaba are over 20 years old and have fruited the past ten years or so.   Lychee: My tall Mauritius produced about 200 pounds of fruit.  The other variety didn't even flower this year.  However, they are in partial shade and the mauritius in full sun and about 30 feet tall.  sorry for the blabbing, I can type fast (sometimes faster than I can think).   

Picked a Glenn tonight and it was sweet and peachy. I'm thinking the earlier ones were too early.   

I think my glenns are sweetening up now.   Had one this morning that I picked over the weekend. It was sweet and had that canned syrupy peach flavor.   I'm currently in a two week drought and the heat has been cranked up.  I think that has helped.   

Rain is welcome for sure. I didn't receive any rain for a month and half prior.   The week long rain event has forced my jaboticaba into flowering!

"They eat them when it is too green to pick and process."

Same with me. I have a 20 foot tall, 20 year old 'Dana White' that produces a ton (and in a shade of an oak). However, I never see any nuts.  If I want macadamia I buy them.  To me not worth the effort. The tree is a good ornamental, thus I haven't cut it down yet. 

PIN has been selling plants for Brevard Rare Fruit for a long time. Before Erick, it was Bob and Vivian Murray (for decades).   They are very reputable. 90 percent of my trees are from PIN. Also, my neighbor has 3 acres of tropical fruit trees from PIN.  If you are trying to bad mouth PIN, you are failing.  As, they aren't "trying" to sell plants.  They ARE selling plants. Usually 4 semi-trucks full at the Brevard sale.    I've talked to Erick many times. He is honest guy in my opinion and very knowledgeable. He has an opinion just like anyone else.  But, with anything people opinions differ along with agendas.  You say you don't recommend Glen. I'm like eh...again, my Glen has provide me with hundreds of fruit every year and they taste really good.  Thus, bsbullie opinion just went down a few notches for me.  But, thanks for the adding to the discussion.  Opposing views either strengthen or weaken one's opinion.   They are all valuable. 

I'm going with the "Orange Crush" and "Cheena" with JS31 if they are sold out. I got a good friend unloading trucks as we speak who will get me the trees.

Thanks all for the Jak Fruit discussion.  Hopefully in a few years I can add my opinion on if "orange crush" or "cheena" are any good.  (hello future me from 2017)

The variety PIN is bringing to Brevard Rare Fruit sale (today/Saturday).

Cantaloupe, Orange Crush, Cheena, Golden Nugget, J31, Mai1, Small

Is the bush in full sun?    I have a pretty old bush (about 6 feet tall) that use to produce a good amount of fruit. But, since all my other OCD planting has overgrown it and now it is in partial shade.  I haven't seen any fruit in a couple years.  And, yes, the plant needs water.  I find they are semi-drought tolerant. Much more so than a jaboticaba. But, they really do need water this time of year (Florida dry season).  good luck!

Those variety listed,,,. What vendor sells them?  mail order?    Let me know.  I'm not making any rash decisions and of course I want the best.  But, the sale is Friday.  so, I may make a rash decision. <-- reserve the right LOL. 

Thanks for all the info. You guys rock.

Thanks.  Generic might be good enough for me.  I don't know the difference in all the different fruit.  Just looking for the "Glen" of the Jak fruit.  (meaning glen is usually recommended as the mango to plant if only can plant one).
