Good stuff! You have a greenhouse to grow these in once they get bigger?

Yep. An 8 foot tall one.

Bad puns! But in all seriousness I figured I'd make a thread to showcase what new things have happened in relation to my fruit trees and post regular updates

Here is the first of my Natal plum seeds I collected to germinate:



Passionfruit germinating like crazy:



Guarana seedlings:





This Annona seed which I believe is soursop has rooted:



Not much to see, but under here are some sprouted red hybrid jaboticaba seeds



Last but not least are these 2 Surinam cherry plants I received for only 6 dollars from eBay:

Looking to swap out the extra Pachira aquatica seedling. Looking to trade it for another tropical fruit seedling. Nothing that gets too big to control in a greenhouse. Specifically looking for Garcinia seedlings.

What type should I use. I have a rooted Frankie's red that is in a clay based soil now, but I should move out.

How about some nuts? Pistachio

I'm planning on macadamia, but some others might be nice.

Based on the pain in the ass procedure to process macadamia...if you can grow pistachios,  i would do so over macadamia.   I have a macadamia and while the tree is beautiful,  the immature fruit wind up food for the squirrels.

Good to know. I need to take sketches and measurements of the area to decide. My plant is to use temperate trees to create a barrier around the subtropicals.

I will have some available in spring/early summer. The "real shit"... unlike most phony sellers here in the states.

I'll wait until then.

I am about to purchase some seeds of the desert king pitaya, but before I make this investment, I'm wondering if anyone has/knows where to get plants or cuttings of this variety.

I would focus on peaches, plums, pluots, Asian pears, lychees, longans,  mandarins, pommelo and cherimoyas if location is right

Not sure about lychees or longans. I know all but the cherimoya will grow. Cherimoya should grow with some protection.

Honeatly, grow what grows well without protection.   Let the Cali experts weigh in on if lychee, longan and moyas will thrive and fruit in that area

I would give up a lot of my mangoes to grow some of the better nectarines,  pluots, plums and Interspecific selections...

Wow! Well, I'd love to grow some fruits that aren't available in stores. Cherimoyas should be okay when they're bigger.

You should let people know where this new property is located. One may assume its in the Marin area zone 9b but one should never assume...

Located in technically zone 10a, though generally temps are zone 9. The sea keeps it from getting too cold.

I opened a cherimoya too early, but I didn't want the seeds to go to waste. I kept some to germinate myself but I would like to trade away 30 or seeds. If you're interested, tell me what you have to trade in return. Seeds are fresh from fruit today.

Hi everyone,

We're planning on doing an orchard at our new property, and I would like to plant some subtropicals as well as temperate fruit trees. I'm looking to hear what people think are the best choices. Please keep it zone appropriate or the reccomendation is useless.
