Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Ilama seeds have not sprouted
« on: April 03, 2018, 04:03:30 AM »
"...did you check the seeds...like do they look ok?"

I dug up some seeds and they look OK... not rotted
or anything.

Hi JF,
What date did your seedlings first
pop out of the soil? Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Ilama seeds have not sprouted
« on: April 01, 2018, 12:26:44 PM »
Hi,
I planted ilama seeds on Feb 15, 2018.  The seeds were treated with
GA3 by the seller. However, still no sign of sprouting.  Is it possible the
seeds are still alive and might sprout in the future?  Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Atemoyas that are not recommended
« on: April 01, 2018, 12:22:50 PM »
Hi,
Are there any atemoya cultivars you would not recommend and why?
Maybe because it has weird taste or are not productive?  Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Will rats attack dragon fruit?
« on: March 26, 2018, 04:22:48 PM »
Hi,
So we bought this abandoned house near the stream.  The neighbor said
giant rats would come up and eat all the avocados on his tree. I was
thinking of growing dragon fruit on the fence since I don't think rats would
like the taste of dragon fruit but I really don't know.  Does anyone have first
hand experience with this?  Do you know what fruits rats don't like and would
leave alone. Thanks.

nana7b,
Wow, your seedlings are impressive. How many
seeds did you start with...when did they germinate?
I was going to buy more seeds...but the price is now
$24 for 8 seeds...not including shipping.

Jessg333,

Kauai Nursery and landscaping (808-241-5165) carries a Maha Janok...might
be just a different spelling...try ask them.

me their tree did not bear fruit for them.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Dream annona question

Maybe, I should ask if anyone has a Dream annona with a soursop rootstock
growing vigorously?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Dream annona question
« on: March 05, 2018, 10:48:07 AM »
Last week I grafted a couple Dream annona scions onto my soursop seedling.
Assuming, the scions take and start growing well and in a few years the tree start fruiting.
Would this success mean that the Dream annona is indeed a cherimoya since atemoya scions
are not supposed to be compatible with soursop rootstock?  Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Is my Isan Indigo sugar apple a runt?
« on: March 04, 2018, 10:42:33 PM »


Hi,

This is my Isan Indigo sugar apple.  It germinated on 10-16-2017.  I got 4 out of 6 seeds to germinate.  But some pest
ate the others 3 seedlings.  Does the surviving seedling look like a runt to you?  How's yours looking?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Annona grafting and rain question
« on: February 28, 2018, 09:19:31 AM »
Hi,
Do you have to wait for the rootstock plant to dry out before
you do the cleft cut?  After grafting, if it rains do you have to
cover the plant in a plastic bag?  I will be using parafilm.
Thanks.

How old and what is the diameter of root stock?  Do you have your scions yet and how do they compare?
I just planted cherimoya seeds for root stock yesterday...and no scions.

Was it a seedling?


If so, chances are it wont have the same flavor characteristics of the parent.
It was not a seedling.  It was grafted.

What month was your fruit produced?  Maybe it is a temperature thing.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Whitman's fiberless soursop is sour
« on: February 11, 2018, 01:35:24 AM »



Hello everyone,
This is my 3 year old Whitman's fiber-less soursop. The fruit is indeed almost fiber-free..has the texture of atemoyas ... unfortunately it is sour. Was told the tree might not be productive...however my 3 years old tree produced 5 fruits.  Still made an excellent smoothie since no fiber.  Got the the grafted tree from Frankie's Nursery.  Notice the strange blue greyish leaves.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cherimoyas as rootstock
« on: February 11, 2018, 01:11:51 AM »
Hi,
At what age can cherimoyas seedlings be used as rootstock?
I'm going to graft atemoyas on them.
Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Singapore jackfruit shy?
« on: December 19, 2017, 12:47:34 AM »
"didn't read where you are..."  I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii

"How big is your Singapore?"  It is seven ft tall
and 5 ft wide.

I found my Frankie's Nursery receipt...the tree was
bought in April 2006...So it is almost 12 yrs old...much
older than I thought.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Singapore jackfruit shy?
« on: December 18, 2017, 07:34:10 PM »
Hi,
I have a 7 yr old Singapore jack that bear
only one fruit a year.  Last year it didn’t
even bear any.  The fruit is great though.
Is this a non productive cultivar?

"Island Gem is self pollinating ..... Have you got a Coochie Island tree ?????? If so where did you get it from ???      Mike"

Sorry, I don't have any of these cultivars...just getting a list ready in case someone in the future
have scions for sale.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Anyone growing atemoya on Oahu?
« on: December 04, 2017, 11:49:48 PM »
Apresser,
What cultivar atemoyas do you have and where did you
buy them?  Also, what kind of bags do you use...paper or netting?
At what size and age of the the fruit do you need to bag?

Thanks

You don't have to bag soursops...the annona seed borers do not bother soursops.
They don't bother my sugar apple either.  I got the Geffner atemoya from Garden of Delights
in florida. I chopped that tree down to grow something else.  Recently, bought atemoyas fruits
from chinatown for $6.99/lb...came out to $24 for two fruits.  So I decided to grow
my own again and bag the fruits this time.  Last week, I bought two grafted atemoyas from Ebay.
