Thanks for the info!   I'll list the variety they carry when i get the list on Thursday.

I'll look into other options as well.

carambola/Miraclefruit/jaboticaba all fruit for me in partial shade.  Good luck.

LOL, great minds think alike!   I didn't see your "fast draining mound" post before I typed that up! 

Again,good luck.  LIving in paradise and trying to figure out the best tropical plants to grow....tough life!   #sarcasm

Bummer. I see some air layers on there.  Thanks for the photos!

I'm not sure if this link works but an interesting read by John Beach in 1903 on the Florida Horticulture Society.

  Page 36 on Mango:

Could it be a santol?   

Interesting. Looks like it works!  But, why?  fruit fly?

My understanding is fungicide is preventative more than treatment. But, could be wrong.  Also, If you do nothing the mango will probably grow out of it.  Good luck!

I just ate a Sumo from 'Fresh Market'    It is almost too sweet.  There were some seeds in it. Do they come true from seed? I'll start them regardless.

I have a small dekopan in the yard (from Harris citrus).  It is an experiment.  Too small to produce fruit yet and seems to have stalled out on its growth rate. 

I'll 2nd the 'Bell' variety as being great.   I have kari, sri kembengum, and Bell.     They are all pretty good star fruit. But, the Bell is bigger.  Taste about the same with some nuances. Sweet.

Nice!  I have a couple yellows that are younger than the ones photo'd. Haven't seen them flower yet.  Hoping soon! 

I've got 4 or 5 or 6 mature plants in my yard. I forget how many as they volunteer in my yard.  And/or, that is from sticking the seed directly in the dirt and forgetting about it. They sprout and grow without any intervention from me.  They do need water though.   My tallest bush is about 6 feet tall.  I'm always happy when the bush is full of fruit or just one.  I like them.  First one is sour then the rest or sweet!   I drink a lot of beer and it does affect the taste of beer negatively.  Coffee is good with it.  But, beer. ughh..ruins the taste.   It is a novelty and fun to give visitors the miracle bush challenge.   I would recommend growing them. Like mentioned they are also ornamental.  Worth it.

Well, here I am broken hearted that I ate my last tangerine this morning.  It was a good one!    Last weekend I cleaned up the dancy from dead limbs, cleaned the weeds around it, gave it some fresh organics ferts, and overall made the tree air-flow through it by cutting back neighboring ornamentals.  I'll fertilize soon to help the spring blossom. 

Fortunately, my jaboticaba is just now coming ripe to continue the daily dose of fresh fruit from my trees! 

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but ain't it great to grow your own fruit!    My wife has been in recovery from a medical procedure and I have to think the daily fresh squeezed tangerine juice I feed her helped in her speedy recovery.
