Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is this Wax Jambu's (Syzygium samarangenses) flower buds?
« on: April 25, 2017, 01:25:08 AM »
You got it Sam! They will (or should) grow quickly. I just noticed my tree is full of emerging flowers. Good luck. Chris

What kind of sugar apple is this? Leaves look more atemoya to me. Good luck! Chris

Spaugh, why plant some Eucalyptus on your borders for wind protection? Most of the Avocado groves east of Irvine have old gum trees planted for just that. It may help to create your own microclimate. Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What's your choice for a medium, lightweight bypass lopping shear, 20" or 30"?

Great topic. I wish I had known about the Corona pruners and loppers back in the day when I purchased mine...I have never been happy with them. Time for a change! Thanks and good luck to all. Chris

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Looking for large Sweetheart Lychee in SoCal
« on: April 15, 2017, 02:32:32 AM »
You would be shocked to see how beautiful Cal. Tropics Lychee trees are...even IF you don't have an extra 10k in your wallet (that day). I was super impressed. They also have a Jaboticaba grove (In ground) as well! Yes they are overpriced, but still impressive nonetheless. Chris

Bananaizme, I believe they are stocked up on Jack's mid-summer. "Act of futility or death"...Nice! Great line, good comedy (even though it's totally true). Good luck! Chris

Also, I remember Mimosa in Anaheim having 24" boxed Lychees (can't recall if they were sweethearts) that were pretty nice for about $1,000 give or take. Chris

Hey Simon- Cal Rare Fruit Trees in Vista has 12 footers (I believe they said over 20 years old) for $10,000++. Lots of them in fact. I know they are outrageously overpriced but they are beautiful specimens. At minimum, its a nice place to walk around. Chris

Hope your fruits ripen Abimael! I have one in the ground that's about 6ft tall and haven't had any fruits after flowering. Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Repotting shipped trees
« on: March 30, 2017, 02:12:07 AM »
Just leave them alone (and well watered)  in part shade for a couple weeks until they get acclimated and then figure out what size pot you need. It really doesn't matter the species of tree involved. Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: should I or shouldn't I top this Mauritius Lychee tree
« on: March 24, 2017, 01:40:05 AM »
I wouldn't top the lychee. If it survived the beheading, it would take forever to form a decently shaped tree...let alone fruit. I agree with Cookie. Chris

Hey Oscar- do you think these would be graft compatible with our (California) mango rootstocks? Thanks, Chris

Dang, we were just in KL in January and I forgot to ask where to find the goodies. I will take note. Thanks, Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pineapple -- a tough crown
« on: March 21, 2017, 01:23:35 AM »
I too put mine directly into the dirt (after pulling off most of the base leaves). I never had any luck with the water routine. Chris

They may not be in season now, but I swear I have seen them at Champa at one time or another. Chris

Atemoyas/cherimoyas normally lose their leaves this time of year. New leaves and flowers will soon appear. Chris

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Growing atemoya, sugar apple and mamey sapote in 25 gal pots.
« on: March 13, 2017, 01:49:12 AM »
Just a note. I have an Atemoya in a 24" box that (with hand pollination) pumps out a good dozen 2+lb. fruits each year. I cut it back every March and it cranks out just enough tasty fruits for all to be happy. Chris
