Hi Fruitfool,

 I would like to get some. Please give me the address, if it is closed by I will come to get it.

Thanks,
Dragon

Haysa was one of the variety I wanted to get, but now it is out. I going to buy morena instead.

I want to add another sapodillas to my collection beside makok and alano. I know I will buy Haysa, but don't know should I choose Morena or Molix. Please give me some ideas about their flavor, fruit production and fruit size. I like big, sweet and no grit for sapodillas. So which variety should I buy since I never taste those varieties.

This is the current bush

Guayaba, thanks for the website.. I ordered something from them a few years back, and it was really small for a 3 gallon (especially for their price + shipping).. can you show me a picture that you have? How is your star apple doing? Maybe I should just buy some fruit from you instead 

The Caimito is doing okay.  I bought it in March and it has been outside since then.  It has a few mangled leaves from transport and it went into some shock when I transplanted it. The pot they had it in was too small for it to survive well outdoors here.  It has perked up since I re-potted it and is just now starting to grow.  I would be glad to share Caimito fruit with you  .  It may take several years before it can fruit and it really is marginal, so first up is getting it to survive outdoors through winter.  Baby steps!

New Growth


My green star Apple was almost double the height of your tree. I was so happy when it bloomed. However, it did not set fruits. the winter 2015, the trunk died back more than haft of its original size.  Now it appear like a bush than a tree. I have a few blooms last year, but never made it through the cold. I have a feeling it will not never set fruits. Please let us know When you tree sets fruit

Yes I'll have fairhaven & sunset bud wood available March these are th two best WS.

FJ,

Have I missed the fairhaven and sunset scions you posted in March? When is the next time you have the scions available? I have many WS seedlings and really want to graft the best tasty, non- bitterness variety to them.

If your plant is small, I would let it grow out so you can get more fruiting branches later in the year or next year. If your plant is full sized, you can cut them off. Once your DF tree is full sized, trim off about 1/3 of the growth after harvest so that you completely renew the tops every 3 years.

I haven't done much research on DF since about ten years ago so their may have been new data with better production techniques.

Again thanks for your advice, Simon. I will do as you recommended

I cut back on watering in Winter and early spring and I start to give an ultra bloom type fertilizer around February. If I use an organic 0-10-10, I give it early to allow for it to break down and get to the plants. If using chemical fertilizers, just give it prior to when you expect new growth coming out of winter. If growing in pots, add rock dust in Winter around January or February then cover it with a bit of compost and the vines really take off.

If your plants are fruiting size, don't give it too much Nitrogen. I prune after harvesting fruit and then again in late winter or early Spring if needed.

I bought my red sugar last November, and it had 1 fruit. I planted it in 30 gallons and give it the grow more 10-52-10 through drip system every other day. Is it too much? I guess I have to look for new ferlizer like the one Simon mentioned
 

I've seen people grow wax jambu in pots but not Malay apple.
Over here Malay Apples seem like its mostly grown from seed, I'm curious to see how much less vigor it would have grafted or as a cutting.
I had two planted, traded one away. It had a huge tap root growing straight down. I only managed to dig out 2 feet of it before it snapped.

I don't think there has been much selection on this from, same like wax jambu gets all the attention. I wish the season longer.
From what i understand is it give you a crap load a fruits for like two weeks and then nothing.

I have one in 30 gallons for almost 3 years. I don't know when it will flower. Does anyone have Malay apple in San Diego that bloom? My green wax jambu finally bring me joy when I has one flower bud . The Malay apple nearby is too stubborn to keep the flower buds to herself only. I guess I have to take  out my prunner and threaten it like I did to greeen wax jambu.

I have 4 kumquat pots. Two of them have beautiful green, plentiful leaves. The others two have old and ugly leaves. So, I decided to trim all the leaves off. Is it a bad thing to do to the trees? Does it affect the fruiting ? Should I spray neem oil to prevent leaf miner when new leaves occur?

Annona Reticulata "San Pablo" seeds free (PM me), will send 7 - 10 seeds. Will send seeds first then just send what I pay for shipping.
Guillermo.

Do you have the picture of the fruit? Is it a cherymoya variety ?

That is good news Mike, mine is about two feet right now, started flowering since almost one feet, I just pugged to develop a strong frame, by the way I'm going to receive if everything works out fine seeds of the best commercial A.Squamosa from Taiwan which is call "Taitung 1" among big size has high brix and prolonged shelves life, some of them will be flying to Australia 🌏....

So will you re sell seeds or scions later? I am interested in Taiwanese sugar apple. I hope it is sweet , big and chewy type .

Simon,

Go to ong nursery. He has plenty of good size. I bought one from him last year. It was 6-7 feet tall . After one year in my hand, it died off 1 of 2 branches.  Now the young leaves look very burned at the tip
