that does NOT look like muntigia calabura.

washington navel like tropicdude said.

btw the mandarin is "criolla".

Of course oranges and most citrus fruit in ultra tropical just fine...actually the fruit tastes sweeter here unlike colder climates. there are problems such as the humidity and pests so the trees seem to be much healthier elsewhere at subtropical/mediterranean.

the one that rarely fruits at lowland ultra tropic is lemon/rough lemon(c.limon)

alright cool...i see there's alupag?

i am unsure what to use the us or non us option (since the seeds are mailed to usa)

tamarind is for making juice and it's really good if well made.

people don't know how to eat the fruit and then say it's bad.

also i find that most people underrate pine and sour flavor...i dig that stuff.

today i saw a kilo at the supermarket for less than 2 dollars.

Everything is less expensive in the Dominican republic , I heard you can get Mangosteen seedlings for 1.50 US dollars

I saw the guy again today he had also rambutttan from Chiapas at 5.75 US dollar a kilo , I told him I did the avocado graft and had fruit growing already...he didn't believe me...hahahaha..

yes but fruit such as mangosteen here are hard to find  in most cases because people don't even know what these fruit are, so it evens out...just bought rambutan as well and tasted it for the first time... hmmm interesting you are getting the same fruit at the same time as me.

so he didn't believe you but told you to try it 

yes it does

seems he just didn't want to give you anything for free and told you any story 

i don't think that's poly but multistem just like rambutan seedlings.

I ordered the nam dok mai, thai rainbow and ataulfo from ebay. Maybe try that...

Can gift you madame francine and other local poly mangoes  but i don't know if they will make it.

btw i'm also trying to buy rosigold and manila seeds.

Do you have more informations about the thai rainbow mango?

well if you go to ebay and search for mango seeds it will currently appear there and can see some info.

Α google search showed me Thai Rainbow = Mahachanok. Is that true?

everything seems to be pointing that way

are you going to eat all that William? 

Hehe no not all of them, half have already been given away,  keeping the rare ones, and some of the ones I like better. many wont be ripe for a few days. like the Glenn, and Palmer.

The Mingolo taste pretty decent, it does have fiber, but not anywhere close to the likes of Gota de Oro, and some others.  the Only Mango Noris decided to take back to the States, she liked the disease resistance, and firmness.  I like them better than the Banilejo. which I think is too small.

They had really good prices on grafted trees, I was happy to see they had some old school varieties for sale, like Palmer.  40 pesos for 1 gallon grafted tree, that is 1 dollar.

did not see the palmer but i have one already from the botanics fair this year...i don't like the local varieties much either but hey they're edible and i even eat noni so no problem. Yes grafted plants are cheap here but that's a double edge sword as you can't make much $$$ out of the fruit tree hobby either. besides it's hard to find named cultivar fruit trees around here besides mango,avocado and some citrus.

now someone wanted more...here it goes
