Hi

Good question about the date of the post.

Brazilian post offices have been terribly slow and confused since November, they are implementing new systems and working with a small staff of staff.

Even internal orders that took two useful, to be delivered are taking up to five days.

So the ideal is to follow the tracking and see how they are following the packages.

anybody else receive seeds yet?

When did you order?

Hello Freinds.

Just updating the post about Eugenia Patrisii, I now have lots of fruits, and I made a delicious jelly with my Ubaias, the two varieties have now fruited.

Hello Ondrej

Beautiful seedlings, I hope they grow well there in their orchard, Eugenia Sp, is an excellent fruit, very good flavor, better than Cereja do Rio Grande in my opinion.

About Spondia, I planted a seed from the lot I sent you and it germinated in early January.

Spondias take up to 1 year to germinate, you can speed up this germination by placing the seed in a zip lock bag with moist moss and storing it inside a closed box, they will germinate much more quickly.

I wish success to your plants, then let me know how the other buyers left with the seeds

Thanks.

Alexandre

Seeds from the group order:
Eugenias of Alexander's seeds are already growing. 
Spondias dulcis does not germinate yet.
Myrciarias I did not buy.

Yes Sytanta,the fruit is very beautiful and has great flavor, I will try to cultivate to verify if the qualities of the fruit improve.

Soon I must confirm the ID of another 2 or 3 types of wild Plinias !,

Work goes on!

Hi

Yes, they can ship by Jadlog or another carrier, there are many nurseries that have these varieties and already grafted.

I only cultivate Rama Forte, the others I did not invest in seedlings.

Boa sorte!

I'll give it a try.  Thanks Alexandre for the lead in SP.  Do they do mail orders to send to Santa Catarina?

Hello

Just dig up the seed a little bit, if it is the true Bacuri it will be large, almost the size of a chicken egg.

These leaves do not look like true Bacuri leaves, they resemble leaves of some other garcinia.

Another factor is to remember how long it took for germination, Bacuri takes up to 3 years to germinate the seeds.

there are methods to germinate faster, but that's another story!

Eugenia Cereja, Here i have fruits now.

Yes, I would also like to know, it is a tree in critical danger of extinction, will make a port in the place where we collect, then it may be that in a few years it adds up!

Very nice trees Alexandre! Would love to know about other members' process on this "Melanopsidium nigrum Colla".

Here in Brazil my trees have begun to flower, they mature in April

I am looking for seeds of abiu Pouteria caimito, variety Tikuna. I wonder what time of the yeat it fruits, maybe this is the season in Florida?

Usually for this name Olho de Boi, we associate coronata, Jabuticatuba, in general we refer to plinia grandifolia, Jaboticaba-tuba, and this species is very rare and endemic of the State of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo, please ask the seller where he got the matrix tree.

Hi,

It depends, I live in tropical climate here in Brazil and I harvest many kilos of feijoa in April, so I think it depends on the variety, we here have selected varieties of feijoa that are adapting well in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Vitoria and even in the semi arid northeast of Brazil are testing, they in the tropical climate, I think they require a little more water to do well.

Today my trees are full of flowers.

Thank you FFF,

It is a complex process, I will take this file that you send me to UFV (Federal University of Viçosa), which is near here to my city at 60 km, by the file the procedure is well explained, maybe I'll try to do something mean homemade, by the file, it seems to me that they use the whole fruit, perhaps for this reason the necessity to use Hexano, perhaps to remove oil only from the seeds is easier, I already did some experiments, and I managed to make the oil to float, a centrifuge to separate the water from the oil.

With the seeds, I dehydrated the seeds, made a flour, mixed with hot water, stirred and added Na (OH), so saponified the mixture and it floated.

With the pulp, I crushed the pulp and put it in an alumina form in the sun, and over time the oil ran down the bottom of the tray, but the bees did not let me work with that mamey paste for long!

It's a lot of applied chemistry, I think we better go back to our Mangoes, annonas, Mexican garcinia and jabuticabas, Lol

Thanks for the material and as you said you did not want to offend anyone.

2.3.
Extraction and purifi cation of mamey sapote
seed oil (MSSO)
The  oil  was  extracted  in  a  Soxhlet  apparatus 
using  hexane.  The  extraction  was  performed  during 
periods of  6 hours from dehydrated and milled seeds
(with  about  15%  humidity)  until  the  samples  were 
completely exhausted. The solvent was removed from
the  resulting  micelle  in  a  rotary  laboratory  (Büchi 
RE 111) at reduced pressure.
The lipid fraction was stored in a container pro-
tected from light under refrigerated conditions until
processing and/or analysis.
The  obtained  oil  was  purified  by  an  adaptation 
of   the  Wesson  method  (Mehlenbacher,  1970).  In 
this  procedure,  the  oil  was  dissolved  in  petroleum 
ether  (1:5  mass/volume)  and  1  mL  of   a  14%  potas-
sium hydroxide solution was added to each gram of 
oil, with vigorous agitation; subsequently, 50% ethyl
alcohol  was  added  at  1:2.5  (mass/volume)  based  on 
the mass of  oil, with agitation and then resting, until
separation of  the phases. The ether layer containing
the neutral oil was processed to recover the purified
oil. It was then stored under refrigeration (−5 °C) and
protected from light until processing and/or analysis.

Thanks Sytanta, I will continue the search for information about this process of oil extraction, I think I asked for help in the wrong forum, this one only lends itself to talk about manga, annona, jabuticaba and Luc Mangosteen, a pity as there are plants interesting out of these.

I think that here only receives a minimum of attention if it is to talk about these plants, nothing against.

Looks promising! Anyone can help please?
