anyone have any additional details on this cultivar?  supposedly a very nice fruit...just never heard of it before.

all im familiar with is the ones form lorenzi's book brazilian fruits, and the common ones in FL like ruby supereme and barbie pink...and the white ones, which Im not a fan of (yet).

I love the red/orange/yellow fleshed and very aromatic guavas.

I posted a pic of the tree (rutledge) in an earlier post...when I saw the tree I was captivated, and luckily given a tip by a knowledgeable mango eater/grower, that this was a premier mango...and I must admit, the flavor is mild and sweet, and reminiscent of the fragrance of a honeysuckle (or some sweet flower)...it has no fiber and a great deal of delicious flesh to eat.

I highly recommend this extremely delicious mango!

I wish I had more to eat now.     

Has anyone had a taste of this cultivar?

the fruits are purple, elongated, and look like a zeppelin

they look like they could tip the scales and beat the largest keitt or lancetilla mango out there.


Any feed back??? Brasilieros calling all Brasilieros!.

wondering who's employed this as a method of propagation for mangifera indica...aka mango.

I've seen mangoes naturally do this, but never seen anyone do this on purpose to a mango tree.
 
mango.

Thanks!

I heard someone bragging that they got one to fruit in 5yrs from seed...I'd like to hear of one that fruited earlier!!

I can't imagine any sooner than 3 yrs and some change

I have this plant and don't know much about it...anyone have info??

thanks

Wondering who has found a seedling avocado tree near them locally, that stands out amongst the others as being your favorite?

After searching through many fruiting seedling trees near me, I've found one seedling tree with large, light green, smooth skinned,  pear shaped fruits, with a firm, buttery, egg yolk flavor pulp.

It my favorite...so I've grafted it before it succumbs to Laurel Wilt.

Anyone else have a description of their favorite seedling avocado tree?

Here in central FL we are in danger of losing some amazing seedling trees, so I'm on a mission to preserve some of the finest.

I will post pics of tree and fruits asap!

got some hand me down seashore mangosteen fruits from a friend who attended the tri-club meeting, with Chris Rollins as speaker...I'm assuming he brought some from fruitsy spicey park.

the fruits had an appealing tart, apple banana garcinia flavor...seedy yes, but well worth eating.

I hear this is a superior rootstock for magosteen, I wonder how it would work when paired with G. prainiana?

anyone else have any experience in growing this one?  there is an unprotected tree near me, and it's done very well so far, through some wicked freezes....and the tree is very attractive.

thanks! 

For me all of the annonas I grow fall into this category...and garcinias...

some jaboticaba...like M. glazioviana, and M spirito santensis, M trunciflora..and others just too rare to waste a drop!

Which fruits do u make sure to savor each drop of edible pulp!!??

ANNONAS!!!!!!!!!!

who's been airlayering and fruiting mangoes?  or heard about this?

i saw one airlayered, with fruits...but had funny growth habit.

i wanna airlayer some dwarf mangoes and grow them in hanging baskets....lol

What's the fruit you are growing, or see being grown that is wasted the most?

citrus gets wasted quite a bit...loquats, mango, figs, passion fruits, and jaboticaba.

and of course carambola.

I'm thinking of ways to use the fruit...and how to use each fruit for the best application...like for instance, I hear green carambola is an excellent brass polish...if you have lots of green fruits that fall all time...and lots of dull brass...then you can make use of the wasted fruits!

any ideas??
