Cutting down that big tree and taking out the roots is gonna cost  a pretty penny lol.  I really don't have any low flooding areas on my property as my house is somewhat on a hill.  Will they grow well in containers? I guess I am going to have to move around some of my trees after this fruiting season. Maybe 2 sugar apples I have that are in prime sun real estate. Although I do have an area under a large coconut tree that gets good sun, but just scared of one of those palm fronds crushing anything I plant under it LOL

There was a super cool gentleman we spoke to for a bit that gave us some fruit he picked of the trees, he worked there, hard to miss cuz as I told my wife he had a very cool white mustache and soul patch going on reminiscent of Wyatt Earp days lol  He tried to find us a Rollinia to eat, which he did, but it was small and not ready as it should have been, but still tasted pretty decent. There were about 4 big fruits he said should be ready in next week or 2.  All the Jabo trees we found were loaded!!!  And definetly going back there for mango season LOL

Went today for the first time (amazed I never been before as I grew up in Kendall area), well worth the hour drive. I know someone was asking if it was worth going in the winter.......well we ate till our bellies were full. Got to try several fruits I have never had, and some I never even heard of. But the best part after discussing Rollinia on here, I walk in and what do they have sitting on the counter. My eyes fixed on this alien like fruit, from forum posts and pics I thought to myself "this can't be!!!" I asked the lady Rollinia? She said absolutely, "most people don't know what it is" she said. Next words that came out of her mouth were like the horns at heavens gate "would you like to try some". Her and I hit it off, wife was laughing, by the time our conversation was over I had eaten about HALF!!! SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! Like nothing I have tasted before. Texture like soursop, but taste much better.  Our walk through the property was rewarded with many fruits on the ground.  Got to taste Jaboticabas by the handfuls, trees are loaded and on my list of to plant (wife loved em). BUT to wait soooooooo long for them to fruit, gonna have to find some a bit on the older side for sale hopefully.  Canistel egg fruit was pretty good, wife liked it more than I did. Gooseberries, best way to described them is natures sour patch kids. Star fruit was all you can eat pretty much lol. Could not find one Mulberry on the ground or low enough in the tree to watch it fall, dying to try the himalayan.  Ate several different varieties of bananas, 2 were so delicious, but could not 100% verify tree name and no one around to ID for us. Found on whole banana stem on ground loaded with yellow, sweet, delicious treasure. Wife was laughing cuz I just sat down like an ape and ate away LOL they were quite small, about 3-4 inches long. Tasted like banana pudding, a little sweeter than normal banana. Rollinia fruit taunting me everywhere. Some huge ones in beautiful green and yellow colors weighing their branches down. Will post some pictures in a bit.

Wow another fruit I have never heard of!! That seems to grow here!!! How does it do in South Florida (broward county)  I saw flyingfox fruit video and saw the 4 year old tree not so big, but with decent fruit on it. Where does one get one of these, after hearing the review on youtube that it tastes like pineapple custard, sign me up!!!!!!!!!

Will take a closer look tonight and look at images to see what in tarnations scales and aphids look like lol  Did not see anything that resembled anything. I do have a few sri lanka weavles I keep pulling off my lemon meringue.

Any truth to watering less to concentrate the sugars in the fruit?? or if overwatered will dilute sugars???

My lemon meringue is full of fruitlets, many that seem to be growing and are about size of a pea right now.  Cocunut cream flowered but no fruitletts yet, cogshall same. Carrie still nothing, but it is very young tree only 2 years old. Has some swelling buds but has not released the fury yet!!

Cool thanks for sharing since could not make it out.

How was it? We almost went but got caught up in the yard.

Zands, it might help that you have a POLICE car parked feet from your mangoes LOL

My lemon meringue seems to be the only attracting the bees like I said before. There has been a stronger fragrance close in the air to it that we have noticed, and have noticed increased bees the last 2 days. It does however have a lot more flowers than my other three mango trees right now.

Thanks, no I have not fertilized thanks to all the reading I did on here.  How often should I water trees that were planted last week? twice a week for next month and then once a week? I water with a wand and hose at the base. Also read not to water the leaves lol (lots of reading lately) 

It is literally like brown shriveled when a plant dries out from not enough water, but only the little leaves of the flowers.  Watering weds and sundays. Too much? Tree has been in ground since last July.
