How much does a good size sweetheart goes for in California? I been on the lookout for one for a while now, too.

Wow that inarch graft idea is pretty slick.  might have to do like 5 or more and when established, just cut the turpentine root stock off completely for fun. 

Hey Phil,  I need to make some time to go see you and pick up those Jujube air-layers.  I could help you dig up that papaya tree while I am there.  I am all booked this weekend, but next weekend I can make the time.

R,

Dennis

spaugh, do you think I get some scion wood from you later on this year.  I have a 30' unknown monster avocado tree that is blooming like mad right now.  I been thinking about cocktailing it for ages now - the fable 24/7 avocado tree will that produces all years long.

I would like to take a few Jackfruit plants off your hands, can you pm on how we can make it happen.  I pm you but received no response.

Mimosa Nursery in LA has them.  I brought a 15 gallon for $100, not too bad.  Now, I think they sold them $100 for 7 gallon and $65 for 3 gallon.  Mine been in the ground for 8 months now and so far so good.

Okay fellas, I am ready for sapodilla scion woods.  I can pay for the shipping and scion woods, let me know.  Also I will be making a trip this Saturday or 2 more weeks from now up to the LA areas so I also pick up the scion woods, then, too. 

My Hasya Sapodilla is not doing so well, my wife put some compost we got from the recycler yard around the plant and it is browning/withering away.  I am, however, not sure if that is the cause for the plant demise or not.  The plant was doing so well up to that point. 

My mom do however have a unknown sapodilla that I can trade some scion woods.  The fruits, a grand total of three, are medium size and round shape, not much oval.  I will take a picture and post it this weekend. 

Awhile back, I saw something post a pictures of a Jabo juicer so how did they overcame the issue with grinding the seeds into pieces when bended?   I am asking because that what I am thinking of doing, too, when I get some Jabo.

Simon,

Thanks for the info.  I was heavily leaning toward letting it fruits and see, but the experience with the glen mango really scared me.  I think I lucked out on this lychee plant, when I planted it - there were a lot of roots in the 15 gallon buck.  We'll see. 

I would love to take you up on your offer on the Glen scion woods. But I don't have much of a rootstock at the moment.  My mango manila rootstock for the Glen is not going to made it.  It was a slow two years of declines and now the last winter did it in.  I purchase a tall, nice looking kent mango (5 branches - 4 to 6 feet tall) as a rootstock for this year.  I was planning graft a cocktail mango, but that Kent mango isn't doing so hot either.  I plant it in December and maybe that was a bad idea because it is withering away right now.  I will take a pic this weekend and see what you guys think.  In retrospect, if I know about Jf or Behlgarden better rootstock characteristic for California soil, I would purchase a plant from them in September of last year when I had the chance.  Live and learn.

Bloom or not? I plant this tree last fall. If they are blooms, should I let it set ?

Thank you for the information and advices.  I think instead of pulling it out, I will leave it in the ground and put frost cover over it for the winter.  I don't expect major cold this winter because of El Nino - or is my thinking off on this one - would it be more colder because of El Nino.  I am a little torn, half want to pull it out and see and half want to leave it in.  the stems and branches still look good.  I going to wait till this weekend and re-evaluate, hope it not too late then.   Do you is advisable in this instance to water the Jambu once every day?  I have been watering once every two days.

Hello everyone,

I am Dennis, I live in Escondido (parent's Place) and in Mira Mesa (my place).  I going to grow tropical plants that remember of the stuff I have growing up in Vietnam.  I currently just got Sapodilla, Mango (Kent), Lychee, Longan, Wax Jambu, and Cherimoya.  I want to get some scion woods and learn how to graft them on the different trees that I have.  If anyone in San Diego have scions or trees for sale let me know.  My parent place have a really tall and big avocado tree - looking forward to grafting as much varieties on it as I can. I would like to exchange but I don't have much if any base stock.  I will take freebies but prefer to pay something for your time and effort. 

Cheers,

Dennis
