I bought a grafted cado which I later did a Veneer graft on but the top part die after a while; but the low
Small low portion attached to the rootstock is alive and green; but I dont see any buds on it; my question is if in the future is a chance this little piece regenerate some new buds; I wouldn't like to decapitate it as I would lose the top graft;

A neighbor here has a tree for over 20 years, a couple years ago finally set a fruit, that he couldn't try
Cause when was about to get ripe, was blown over by a storm, I guess there's not enough chilling hours here, lat 21*

Looks like this one I found on the river 1 mile from my home; never seen it before;

Where my wife is from Tuxpan ;Veracruz; is call Sapote Domingo; and it takes cold in winter time probably down to 8/10 celsius sometimes; the variety who grows there is a monster of the size of a large coconut! I have know two seedlings from there one of them is strongly variegated; Im gonna used to graft it on the other one to cocktail them save space!

Fruit is Big as a coconut eh? How large does this variety grow?  I got a seedling & looking for a superior cultivar to graft, how does this giant coconut size fruit taste as compare to other variety you have eaten in the past? 
I have only taste two different varieties one from here pacifica coast, and this large one I mentioned from Atlantic coast being this one more on the crunchy flesh, with Nice apricot Sweet flavor

Hi Mike, the only Achachairus I have tried, which are the ones in Luc's pic, were kind on the sour side for me, hupps I forgot I also tried a copule from my own tree last year, the Very first time setting fruit and the leves of acidness was the same one, the Luc' limoncillo has several stages depending the ripeness of the fruit, when the fruit is just ripe is a mix of strongly accentuated sweet & tart flavours, but with I like the best of this stage is that the outer skin is edible, delicious flavour,crispy, firm, this is a plus versus Achachairu cause it's skin is not edible , so this helps whith flesh / seed ratio, the second stage is when the fruit is overripe the crunchy skin
Gets soft and mix with the inner flesh to become only one part, the hole fruit becomes soft and the flavour
Change to more lemony with a full sweetness with a last acid note, as about the size as you see in the pic
A large Limoncillo could be 4/5 times bigger than Achachairu , hope that helps, by the way , eaten too many in one seat could be proclive to moctezuma' revenge ! Lol

Mango Cajeta is from Manzanillo , Mexico , West Pacific coast, from a an Single Orchard of 22 hectares , single owner , who purchase this land with the trees all ready bearing fruit in 1957! Every year he sells all
The fruit locally as people is eagerly waiting for this delicious mango , who starts appearing in March, the owner Guadalupe Arteaga either doesn't know or doesn't want to tell the origin of this mango as never happen to see myself a mango like this anywhere in Mexico, is a poliembrionic mango, of very good quality
He call it Cajeta cause is very sweet, weight is about 400/600 gr with a light yellow , brown outside color,
Really the Origen of this mango is a mystery to me as I said the owner is reticent to give information about
It,

I'm Very please with Adam service! Willing to look for things he doesn't have, and the seeds arrive
In optimum shape, definitely a plus service!

Sorry about the bad picture but my rosssapote has its first flowers.They are sparsely spread and back along twigs from the growing tips.About half are singles and the other half have 2 flowers coming from the one point.

Mike ,
Do you know how long took hours to flower/ how tall it is?

Congrats Oscar! That's the dream of any fruit collector, Durian in the back yard! Is this one from the large tree I saw ( ten years ago ) about the half distance between the street gate and your house, almost in front of the red rambutan trees?

Adam , looking at your cut fruit I think there must be a lot of variation , those I tried in Tela , Honduras when visiting Lancetilla with Raul , was a lot more orange going to red in color , the fruit was very creamy like the texture of durian . Has been several years so Raul if you read this , correct me if I am wrong .

Yes Luc! I remember the other ones with a bright deep orange flesh, no fiber , good amount of edible flesh
An with that unique kind of acquainted wine flavor, ( too much for me one fruit is enough ) regarding the external appearance they look the same but without the wrinkles in the skin

Yes I did, Delicious! Like a Canistel but with a wine bouquet ! The seeds didn't germinate back home!

Wish you the best Adam! By the way I love your flying fox seal! Way to go!!

Happy Christamas everybody from sunny Puerto Vallarta!!!!
