I think I missed this entire incident regarding Stan. What happened?

The iguanas that raid my yard also eat mangos, mostly keitts and pickering, which are right next to the canal. There is a definite increase in their numbers this year. They have killed over a dozen of my newly planted trees by repeatedly stripping every leaf and breaking branches. This morning I saw 3 very mature 6 footers and lots of smaller ones, around 15 total. They are out of control.
I've got about 40 seeds of pejibaye to sow. What success rate did you get Murahilin using the procedure you describe? have had very mixed results in the past with pejibaye germination (seeds got rotten).

Thank you for your concern. I guess it is a kinda sensitive tree as it is still rare...
Right after I posted the Echo picture, I used the Hopkins Nursery website contact page to request information on the variety. I just received a response from Billy Hopkins. He stated that Hopkins Nursery started to propagate it based on the recommendation of the head Echo property manager who Billy considered a reliable source. Billy recommended I contact Echo for further information. The quest continues...Try giving Hopkins a call: http://www.hopkinstropicalfruitnursery.com/
No, actually its a thread that truly is a little senseless. This is a forum/blog, not PIN. If someone wants to know what any business charges for something, and wants an accurate answer, shouldn't that person contact that business directly?
Otherwise, what if I had replied, "the shipping will be $10." Does that mean thats what they would charge?
I live in the Jacksonville, Florida area and got a quote of $37.50 for 2 trees (they always ship 2 trees per box apparently, so if I ordered 4 trees I guess it'd be $75).
Is that about right from your experience? I just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any costs I wasn't aware of when I went to order.
Today I found a new tree flowering a female for the first time. I bought this from the Broward Rare Fruit and Veg council sale. Echo is what the label says. I was not able to find any information on this "variety". Anybody know anything about it or how it tastes?
There's a problem with lemon thieves some places.
Sap smell is the best way to identify PP vs ST. Break off a leaf and smell the sap that exudes from the petiole. ST has south east asian smell (coca cola). PP has citrus smell. The difference is very distinct.

Does that mean the pineapple pleasure scion I got from you sometime ago is a sweet tart? The leaves looks very similar to my sweet tart. Only difference I can tell is that PP graft has lighter green leaves. Can anyone else confirm if my graft is indeed a PP?
ha, I've never heard of it. So they named a mango after Gary's sister. Hopefully it's good?
Some pictures of my sweet tart
When should the stump be cut in order to be at the right stage for topworking in mid-summer?
What is the growth habit/vigor level of Pineapple Pleasure?
Just read Sheehan's post about multi-grafting them, and it seems Patrick did the same...So is PP similar to ST in growth habit and vigor?
