I am growing a Mamea Sapote that my mom gave me because the seed was sprouting inside the fruit. The plant is about a year old and I have it in a pot, but I was wondering that if I manage to get my hand in olosapo scion wood, could I graft into it? I love the Olosapo fruit, but dont cave much for Mamea Sapote. Thanks for any advice! XE

Thanks, I sent you a PM,  :DI am so happy with just the idea of getting the fruit!.

53
I know it may be earlier in the season, for the States  but I will love to know who sells and ships Ice Cream bean fruit from this forum. I grew up eating this fruit and I will love to eat it again. Thanks in advance.

Dongeorgio, thanks a lot for the mango scion wood, they arrived as promised and with un-expected extra gifts, very nice of you thanks!
They all look nice and fresh, now I just hope my grafting doesn't ruin them all. Wish me luck! XE

How about a drarf Banana? The plants look great, they need some wind protection and they produce fruit. :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Frost cloth for tree protection
« on: October 20, 2015, 04:46:18 PM »

Hello members! 
I am getting ready to cover my plants for the winter and I want to have the right material; previously I have used Burlap from Home Depot, but they still got frost damage, so I am reaching out to you guys to see if you have a better idea of what to buy instead of burlap, and where to buy it from before I actually need it. Thanks in advance!  ;)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / My air layered guava branches after 14 weeks
« on: October 14, 2015, 11:05:08 PM »
I think this was a success!
I air layered 6 branches and 4 of them took.
I just cut them and put them in pots today, but I would like to know if I should cut them down, each one is about 6 feet tall and have some great leaves, but now that they are planted maybe it would be too much for the new tree.
Advise, please?

I have been trying to remember the name of this tree for months before I went to El Salvador!.Thanks you guys!!!
I have fun memories of the fruit my friend used to bring me at school by the bags full! My aunt said it was called "sunzilla" because the seeds resembles that of the  Sunza (Licania platipus) fruit. (I don't know if she is right) all I know that my friend's tree was about 50 feet tall and only her father could climb it and cut the fruit, so he made a point of getting the most he could in one trip. :)
She used to bring me the fruit when they were yellow but firm and I would just wash them and eat them when they were still fairly firm  skins and all! Unfortunately not many people like this fruit over there and its not cultivated and sold in the local markets. :(
I would love to have one of those trees in my yard, but I don't know if they will survive in the phoenix AZ.a area. XE

JF, I think the variety of fruit is what I miss more from El Salvador, we get some kind of fruit all year around and the month of May being the most productive time of year.
Did you have to hand pollinate your anona to produce fruit or you just grafted it?
I got some seeds and would like to experiment on trying to grow one, but I don't know how long it would take from seed to produce fruit, I also got seeds from the white anona we ate, but even though I kept the seeds separated I forgot to mark which are white or pink. I will need to plant a couple of each and then graft. :)

Hi!, I am from El Salvador and I have known that fruit all my life as Anona blanca (white anona) or "anona rosada" (pink anona) I must admit I don't know the scientific name.  I was just there for a visit 3 weeks ago and had the pleasure of eating both along with many other fruit that were in season. :)

Citrus General Discussion / what is the name of this citrus?
« on: October 09, 2015, 08:57:47 AM »
Hello! I went to visit my aunt in EL Salvador and she has this orange/mandarin tree in her front yard. The fruit is very juicy and heavy producer. She said that he tree only produced about 700 fruit this year, but last year it was about 2400!. She sells then for $6.00 per 100 fruit so she keeps track. :) No body knows what it is other than the fruit is juicy and some fruit seem more like mandarins than oranges, others more like Valencia oranges but they all taste the same. :) Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!


73
Thanks Tropicdude, I already have a moringa tree in my front yard. :)
Its good to know that Neem tree is so fast growing that is one of the things I like about the Simarouba Glauca, plus it has the added edible fruit that I enjoy as a child.
If I am correct Neem tree or Azadirachta indica is a different species than Simarouba Glauca, the fruit look almost identical but the leaves seem to be different. It seems that both have beneficial properties to boot! :) or is it the same???  :o

74
Thanks Adam; this led me to find the name of the tree I really want which apparently in Florida is known as "paradise tree" or Simarouba Glauca. I had no idea of its many uses, now my challenge is to get a female grafted variety to try to grow in my neck of the woods here in Arizona. Do you know where I can buy one? I supposed I can start with seeds and later on graft female scions to it. :o Do you or anyone else have any suggestions?  XE

Back in 2012 on my trip to the Dominican Republic I saw this tree, it reminded me of the same tree in El Salvador that we call ;"Aceitunas" , They come in purple and white kind of yellowish like these ones, but the fruit is sweet and I used to love to eat them when I was a child. Since they look like the Olive fruit here in the states I was wondering if it is the same family but different variety and I would love to grow those here as well. Thanks in advance!  ;)
