Anyone have any experience eating or growing this one?


i am looking for seeds let me know via pm

So I lost the labels to a certain group of plants like 3 years ago. Through my powers of deduction I determined that they must be Baccaurea ramiflora (Burmese grape) plants because at the time those were the only ones that i thought were unaccounted for.

Yesterday, I finally decided it was time to try one out in the field so as I was sorting through the several specimens I have, looking for the best ones and I got a very serious poking.

Lo and behold my 2 or 3 largest plants had grown spines on the trunks.

Soooo does anyone know if Baccaurea ramiflora (Burmese grape) have spines or is it more probable that these aren't burmese grapes and actually some other unidentified plant.

Hey everyone, I have several large Soursop trees for sale. These trees are grown from seeds from a superior quality fruit I tasted in Honduras.




The trees are 2 or 3 years old, I forget. I have about 20, I am looking to get $45 per tree, if you buy more than one we can work out a discount. I have one of these planted out in my grove and it has held up pretty well to the winter without any protection from me.

Hey guys,

I was wondering why we so rarely talk about Mangifera sp. I have a couple now, Casturi, lajiwa, odorata. But there are so many others. Why aren't these more common, I know Fairchild is supposed to have quite a few of them that they use in their programs, so why don't we see more of these species available?

I know they've already figure out how to graft wani, onto pajang onto indica. So how come I can't even get a pajang mango for my collection?

Hey Everyone,

I have tons of pond apple seeds available. I have to pick them up otherwise I would have a pond apple forest due to how readily they sprout. If anyone is interested in buying a couple....thousand, I have them available. The fruit from my trees isn't what you would call palatable, but it makes great tilapia food.

I have had good success playing and grafting these. I have successfully grafted soursop, montain soursop, custard apple (A. reticulata) and several cultivars of atemoya onto my pond apples and I know a couple other rarer annonas can be grafted on to pond apple.

So if anyone wants seeds for rootstock please contact me.

Lets put the price at 50 seeds for $5 plus w.e. shipping costs are

I have seeds for sale or trade. 20 seeds for $5 + shipping. If domestic I believe the shipping will be $4, when I go to the post office I will put the exact price with shipping.

The link below is to a discussion about the the sugar apple (Annona squamosa) plants I have

I would like to add. These seeds are very fresh, I had a lousy crop due to a drought at the beginning of the growing season, so I'll trying to make up some lost revenue by selling seeds.

As a result, of their freshness, I recommend you plant these seeds and set them aside. A. squamosa or at least mine seem to have a dormancy period. They don't usually sprout until the following spring or summer.

Furthermore, I recommend to plants multiple seeds in one pot, you'll get better germination.

So my Rollinia is finally holding fruit, I think about 10.

I also noticed that my two Rollinias have different color foliage when it emerges. My smaller tree that hasnt flowered yet has red foliage when it emerges, while my older tree has green emerging foliage.

I am curious if anyone out there can provide me with a how to cross my own Annona sp.

I.e. how would I collect and save pollen from say squamosa and then preserve it so I could use it on a reticulata or atemoya flower?

or similarly a soursop flower and use it on a pond apple flower. Especially since these species dont flower at the same time, usually??

I know this has been discussed somewhere probably, but I cant seem to find a succinct explanation

I'm going to Honduras for Semana Santa. Im gonna be in the Puerto Cortes and I've already been to Lancetilla. Anyone have any recommendations where to go in search of fruit? I'm guessing there should be some annonas in season at the moment

Does anyone know if there is a good thread about Mango varieties and their quality? Or is our mango knowledge dispersed?

I've been growing and picking custard apples for a long time now, but I still feel like every year I'm just sorta guessing that it will probably ripen. This year i have a bumper crop so, I want to take some of the guess work out.
