Also,
I wonder how many people on this thread religiously watch TV or follow sports?
It's my firm belief that these activities fill your brain with useless information and details, leaving less space in your brain for valuable data.
was just browsing your site Oscar...it's been a while...but I must admit, your website is probably the best source for tropical fruit seeds.
I need to update mine one day
this forum has turned into my website.
Thanks Adam. I've added a lot of offerings to my seed page lately. It's been really hard to keep up with all the orders, especially now that spring has sprung. Maintaining a website is quite a chore. Often i'm up till very late making changes on that website. Somebody compared building a website to building a house, and its a very good analogy: the work is never finished. Always something needs to be repaired or remodeled or improved. I'd like to add growing information about all the new seed species added, but i just don't have the time right now. Maybe some day.
The HTML code looks pretty straight forward, simple, to the point on your website Oscar. Can be a good thing since, its easier to fix something that broke on it, but a lot of people this day and age like pretty simplistic websites that scale easily on smart phones and tablets. The website does not work on my mobile phone (and most likely tablet).
Have you considered using wordpress or webflow template to make the website? (I know a lot of templates are cookie cutter, though a good portion can be modified adding a good unique look). Advantages would be can add some nice updated graphics, database, and mobile usability to the webpage). I would look into webflow, my friend has a website development and marking company (I believe he recommended webflow to me for diy website template).

Hi Nullzero, thanks for the recommendations. I know my website is not mobile friendly. And i have no plan to make it so in the future. Please if you want to surf it use a laptop or PC. You won't be able to see most of the photos very well on a 2 inch screen anyway. I have too much work as it is, at least for right now. If business goes dead at some point i will consider doing what you say. Right now i'm still a one person company, so there are limitations to how many things i can do.
pitangatubas (Starcherries as I like to call 'em), are starting to ripen up!
still a few weeks before the mother load...but the first few fruits are always welcome.
I'm looking forward to letting people taste these! (too bad they don't ship well as fresh fruits)
Oscar these may be stupid questions but here they are anyway :
When you planted your trees what percentage males to females did you end up with ? I assume you started from seeds ?
Is it possible that there is even a slight difference in the leaves between the 2 and could males be more vigorous than females ?
I have 7 that are doing very well and need to go in the ground when the rainy season starts .
On the contrary Luc, very good questions. Unfortunately i don't have very good answers...yet. Not all the trees have flowered yet. It seems that there is a high percentage of females. I have 9 trees and i think at least 5 are female. Strangely enough in this species all the female trees flower first. Yes i started from seeds. Don't know about differences in vigor or leaf shape between the sexes. Haven't paid much attention to that yet. Usually i'm overwhelmed just trying to keep the place mowed and weeded.
man if I lived big island, I'd intern at your place. but my wife would get mad and tell me, 'how come you go his place mow lawn and no do ours?!?!?!!' oh well.
Yes you're welcome to mow here anytime. But i think you're going to find it ain't no "lawn". A bit bigger and taller than any lawn you've ever seen.

Is ziman pink a dwarf cultivar?
