Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Planting at the fire station
« on: May 03, 2014, 12:56:49 PM »
At station two, we have a Mauritius lychee, Marcus pumpkin avo, a seven foot tall seedling avo that we hope will put out good fruits... No plans to graft on to it now, we have nine or ten smaller avo seedlings that we will graft with various Hawaiian cultivars, a Multi grafted citrus, an Excalibur Mamey and magana Mamey. On the back patio is a jaboticaba surrounded by sweet pepper plants, tomatoes, and carrots. We also have several banana mats starting... From dwarf cavendish, to a black cavendish variety I got from a Cuban, plantains, dwarf namwah. And another dwarf variety that has only grown  a foot in two years, despite all the ones next to it growing multiple feet and shooting out pups. My goal this year was to get several trees and the fertilizer to take care of them, and it was approved. It helps that on my shift there is another ff who likes fruit trees and veggies, and another ff on another shift that tends to the herb garden we have outside the kitchen

My Bangkok lemon and Excalibur red both sat dormant for about a year with regular waterings. They have both taken off after that year period, and they get sprinkler water twice a week and drip irrigation once to twice a week, depending on rain. The four seedlings I have planted are all doing nothing no matter their water schedule, they are all less than two feet tall

I like that idea, but is it legal/won't they pull out/mow your trees
What about planting trees is illegal? You think the landscape people are going to pull out mango trees that they know they will be picking fruit from in a couple years?

I thought Orange Sherbert was something that Walter Zill had at his house and never officially started propogating? Not the same as Zill's High Performance where Gary works...

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Cancer-Fighting Fruits/Leaves/Plants

CWOJO,
The Doctors  from IMSS in Mexico recommend Tea from the leaf's of Guanabana (Soursop)for prevention of cancer,also the pulp
and even more recommended Carambola daily.

not to be rude, but you provided an answer to a question i did not ask. I have read a GREAT deal of articles on natural cancer treatment and prevention. go back to my original message and look what i highlighted.

I want to see the source that says "ALL cancer starts in the liver"
and I want to see a source about taking baking soda to lower ph, because that is the silliest thing I have heard so far

"ALL cancer starts in the liver"  -- Max Gerson you might have to buy his book. He pioneered this years ago. The liver is your major detox organ. Make a supreme effort to clean it up and you have a fighting chance with C. Conversely-- your fouled up liver makes you more susceptible to cancer.
baking soda to lower ph   >>>> all over the internet

BTW you are not being rude but the sources are easy  to find whether you agree or disagree
Just cuz you read something on google does not make it an effective or safe treatment or remedy, so quoting a google search to back advice makes you look like a donkey. I agree a healthy liver prevents toxins from running rampant through your bloodstream, but not ALL cancer starts in the liver. I haven't read the book but I am guessing you misinterpreted what was said. I am not sure what your career is or what your family has gone through, but being a paramedic and having a father with lung cancer when I was younger, mother with malignant melanoma... I believe I would know more than a keyboard warrior. Soursop tea from the leaves would do the same thing as radiation, uv rays don't pass through the liver, and baking soda as a remedy would not only hinder what meds a doctor would have you on, it could change your body's delicate ph range outside of 7.35-7.45 and kill you before the cancer does. No hard feelings.

definitely not gopher apple, this was growing on a vine just like how passionfruit does. the inside pulp looked exactly like passionfruit pulp but had no sweet smell. i threw one of the seeds in my mouth, but there was no tartness, sweetness, bitterness... just kinda bland really. there were smaller green ones growing and they turned a bright red when ripe i guess...

38
Can't pinpoint my single least favorite fruit, but there are some I do not care for. Wax jambu tastes like i am biting into a rose, really gross. Had some frozen durian, definitely tasted like sauteed onions and garlic, maybe i would like it if i ate it with steak.

hey cookie monster, can you update the list of available trees?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Your best mangoes this year ( 2013 )
« on: July 08, 2013, 07:36:08 PM »
I finally had the opportunity to sample many varieties I was curious about. some were very delicious.

Here are some "new ones" that I really enjoyed,  each one has a unique flavor characteristic.

In no particular order.
St Maui
Carrie
Maha Chanok
Hatcher



You really enjoyed the Hatcher mango? tastes exactly the same as a Haden to me...

Sid, you are going to make JC's head spin. Those nanners he brought in the other morning were pretty darn good. Has he said what his original idea was for those 1.5 acres?

I must be a retard. I have watched that video and a few others... and I have not had a single fruit set on my Bradley atemoya. The flower will drop it's petals and the bud will turn black/brown and then fall off.

They are not sensitive at all to being transplanted.

My NS-1 seedling went into transplant shock when I transferred it from a pot to my front yard. It dropped all of it's leaves and never put out any more growth, stayed dormant for months and the branches died.

44
i agree with what harry says... the spanish speaking population refers to custard apple and sugar apple as cherimoya, even the lebanese family i am friends with refer to sugar apple as cherimoya

I have been wondering why I haven't seen his great questions and him sharing his experience with ultra exotics....

47


I would consider baking soda to lower body ph, most with cancer are acidic.
Cooked brown rice apart from your salad meals

All cancer starts in the liver. You have to detox your liver. This is what Max Gerson did to cure cancer decades ago and his daughter carried on his work http://gerson.org/gerpress/the-gerson-therapy/




I am really interested in how you arrived at these opinions... can you quote a source? Or is it just by word of mouth?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: My Guanabana finally holding fruit
« on: April 14, 2013, 09:35:54 AM »
I am guessing that these self pollinate, being that they fruited so high up in the canpopy. Seeing a fruiting one makes me want to go visit my favorite nursery and finally get onel

49
My pickering had leaves that looked exactly like that. it also lived in a pot. couple weeks after the brown spots appeared the leaves smelled rotten, they started to drop, and the limb was actually dead. very surprising because it was doing great! the whole tree dried and rotted, dropped all leaves, and is now just a small stick in a pot :(
