Unless it was sold to you as "Otmo", wouldn't assume that is what it is. Nurseries and other sellers often re-use pots. I bought an m. casturi that has a few other mango varieties named on the side. Have noticed this with quite a few other plants.

G. aristata. Growing nicely for me. Like a bonsai


G. acuminata


Ponderosa Lemon. Tree produces non-stop, but damaged from holding fruit too young.


Time for lemonade

Rollinia holding fruit. Just 2 survived Irma. Can't wait to try!





Jackfruit, grown from seed, tangy sweet farmers market variety. Going to graft onto it, little plant to left is from seeds that another forum member received from Fruitlover, me thinks. Cheena maybe?


Dark Star Dragon. Really has taken off since digging up and potting. Going to put a bicycle wheel on top and place in a heavier pot. Seems quite happy.


Yellow Dragon. Same as above, just not as happy yet.

R

American Beauty. Same again with the potting, although this one took a while to wake back up. Seems to be doing better.


Silas Woods sapo fruits. have only tasted one. Best sapo I've had, but only have tasted unknowns from farmers market.


Silas Woods tree. Topped as a forum member suggested. Cute little tree covered in small fruit

I can attest to Silas Woods and Alano sapodilla not requiring hand pollination. Both are fruiting for me, with no hand pollination.

(Quote)  I think the dried ones tasting good are referring to the Chinese jujubes. They are suppose to taste like dates.
 My two trees got demolished by Irma and I cut them back to nothing. They are doing great now but I sacrificed
the fruit when I pruned them. In the past mine got ripe in a very short time frame like 2 weeks.
Yours are nice and spread out with the dried ones next to the ripe ones now you must have been eating them for over a month?



Been eating them for a few weeks now, and they keep getting better. Some pretty big ones too, but lots are quite small when they ripen. Start off green, turn light greenish/yellow, and then start to get orange and red in them and soften some.  The longer they go, the sweeter. They get a nice funky taste as they over-ripen, but haven't tried any of the ones that are shriveling and drying yet. My tortoises tear them up though.

On another note, my daughter has been dealing with some growing pains for a few weeks. For the last few days she has been eating jujubes, and no growing pains.

Any advice on when to eat the shriveled orange/red ones? Don't want to eat a foul fruit, but heard they are good overripe and dried out.

Beautiful plants and fruits!

Thank you Simon. Coming from you that means a lot! =)

Hello all. Here are some recent pics of my 2 Indian jujube trees with fruits. Not too sweet unless they start to turn orangish, but they are so crisp and refreshing, with just enough sweetness. I like hi brix fruit, but also like to eat fruit that is not overpoweringly sugary. Going to add some shredded jujube to a green papaya salad, think it will be a hit.

Mine are fairly fast growing. The seller, another forum member, told me they fruit on their own, but perhaps fruit more prolifically with a male plant. Not sure, but I kept a couple extras just in case.

looks almost exactly like my achachairu. but then again, not sure what I have is actually achachairu.

I grew a few dragon fruit vines on the trunks of Norfolk pine trees, and they grew magnificently up the tree and did not fruit. Had one flower that dropped over the course of 2 years +. Since potting them and devising a shorter structure for them to grow on, looking great with all kinds of new growth (couple of months). Unless you are going keep them trimmed and hanging, and do not allow them to continue growing upwards, recommend against growing them on a tree.
