Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Which variety of sapodilla do you recommend?

« on: January 27, 2012, 03:09:29 PM »

Hello Friends,

My vote would be for Hasya. I had some of Harry's about a year ago and they were simply Fantastic. They were super sweet, little to no grittiness, with an excellent texture. They were pretty nice in size as well; I would definitely not categorize them as small by any means.

MangoFang,

Thanks so much for letting me know that my Cherry Tree should be fine with the root prune and transplant. I just needed to hear that someone else had done something similar to give me the courage.

Thanks Again,

Jacob

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Lapins Cherry Tree

« on: January 26, 2012, 02:48:03 PM »

Hello Friends,

I have a Lapins Cherry Tree that is about 12' feet tall. It is currently in a 25 gallon container. It has already fruited for me and I expect a large crop this coming season. Unfortunately, the tree's tap root has broken through the bottom of the pot and has rooted itself in the ground below. Now that the tree is dormant, would it harm the Cherry tree or do any damage if I dig up the tree to relocate or re-pot? Or, would it be okay to Root-Prune the tap root so that I can put the tree back into a container for the time being?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Jacob

Hey Adam,

Thank you so much for the Pruning advice. I would have never thought to prune my Jaboticabas, but with your pictures and explination, it makes sense.

Thanks for the information and guidance.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Introduce Yourself

Hello Friends,

My name is Jacob and I live in Santa Barbara, California. I have been chasing my last Fruit tree for about 2 years now and it appears as if there is no end in sight. I work for a Contractor as a Project Manager. As a side venture, the company I work for has a fledgling nursey on about 12 acres, so I have been able to reap the benefits of that operation.

This forum and its setup are awesome and want to extend a huge thanks to the guys for putting it together. I was wondering where everyone had gone. It wasn't unitl Harry sent me an e-mail to let me know about this new site. Thanks again Harry! It's great to see so many familiar names on here as well as so many new ones.

Looks like you are up to your elbows in plants, you definitely got a gift for germination. Everything looks Great! Hope all your stuff makes it through this crazy cold snap.

It Nice to be on Board!
