The critters will just bite through the organza bags like it's nothing. I am going to try organza bags dipped in hot wax chilli oil mix. That should do the trick.

You know a source can get malibu#3 scions?

Nice looking longans. What variety is it?

Says Kohala

20 acres of Kohala Longans, now open.  Get you some!

OP, updated the info with variety. Thanks for info update.

Problem with bolt cutters is the crushing force is going to crush the seed. The mongongo nut is firmly snug against the outer layers of shell, so intense pressure will go right into the nut.

Most plants need the night cycle to convert the light energy to carbs. I would go with what merce3 said with 18 to 20 hours on, 4 to 6 off.

I would also make sure you have adequate amount of grow lights for the area. Not all grow lights are made equally and some are much more effective per watt then others. I use generic led UFOs off eBay with true watt around 90, this is for a sq ft of 1.5'x1.5'. Mostly used for seedling starting and seedling growth for the first 6 months.

Oh wow, that looks like an amazingly good lychee variety. I wonder how long until the trees are available in the U.S. ... maybe 10 years if we are lucky  .

They will get softer. Once they start to give in some to the touch like a ripe pineapple should be ready.

Sorry to hear about HOA troubles, I made sure no HOA when I got the house. So I can plant to my hearts content with all the weedy fruit plants. Starting to become a repository for your creations  . Hoping they become fruitful in the near future so I can start helping you with selection and sharing.

if i am not mistaken this is a hybrid of red and white jabo right Adam. i have heard many good things about this jabo cant wait to be able to order some grafted in the near future.

That one is Escarlate.

Looking good Coconut, just remind me for kh0110 stuff.

Shame that the fruit during cold periods does not develop good flavor. I have 3 different Rollinia strains now. Always looking for another  .

Bananas, Surinam Cherries, Fejoia, Sapodillas, Yellow Cacao.

Nice yellow Cacao, I did not know it was cold hardy outdoors in Vero Beach.

I found this interesting FDA lab study done recently on Annona fruits. For those with concerns with the toxicology of the fruit and its affect on cells. After reading through it, it seems that Rollinia, Atemoya, Sugar Apple, and most likely Cherimoya and Custard Apple have very low amounts of Annonacin and Squamocin. Pawpaw on the other hand has extremely high amounts with high amounts in soursop varying. It seems the annona fruits with the most domestication benefited greatly with drastically lower amounts of Annonacin.
