Tropical Fruit Discussion / La Verne Mangoes this Year

« on: January 18, 2018, 10:02:52 PM »

I had my local nursery check with La Verne Nursery to see what mango trees they will be grafting this spring. It seems they will only have Keitt, Haden, and Gold Nugget (on Manila rootstock). Can any southern California mango growers suggest which of these is best suited for California (i.e. most vigorous)? Does anyone know why more common Ca varieties such as Valencia Pride, Alphonso are not being grafted by La Verne this year?

I also think I read that Glenn is a vigorous grower in Ca, and would make a good choice. What about Kent, is it Vigorous in CA if grown on manila?

Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mulch in San Diego

« on: March 02, 2017, 03:48:57 PM »

For those who live in San Diego, where do you get your mulch from and what kind do you buy that works well for your fruit trees? We will need bulk delivery (about 20-25 CY).

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cherimoyas in San Diego

« on: February 25, 2017, 11:55:17 PM »

I just purchased 5 lbs of Cherimoyas from a small scale farmer in Fallbrook, CA. The seller had no idea what variety she grows. That got me wondering, does anyone know of a place that sells Cherimoyas of known variety in San Diego? I would like to try named cultivars (and sadly I was out of town and missed the tasting event at the SCREC). Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Fabric pots - Durability?

« on: February 20, 2017, 02:11:09 PM »

Anybody use heavy duty fabric pots for container grown fruit trees? Brands you like? I'm wondering if roots grow out of them eventually and if they dry out too quickly. Seems like a lightweight and inexpensive option. If not, what type (and size) container would you use for a permanent pot for a Cherimoya tree that you plan to keep small? And, where do you buy from?
