Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Cacao Tree Loaded with Pods

FruiFreak: check out Richard Lyons Nursery in the Redlands.  He most likely has 1 and 3 gallon cacaos.  I'm guessing Excalibur has some, too.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Zill's Ambrosia Mango
« on: January 17, 2018, 03:23:03 AM »
I've found little info on Zill's Ambrosia Mango but the name is nonetheless eyecatching (like so many of Zill's releases!).  Does anyone have info or 1st hand experience with the fruit (taste, quality, season, color, size, etc.), the tree (compact, vigor of growth, etc.), or its resistance to disease (tree or fruit)?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Juicing Mangos
« on: December 31, 2017, 10:11:36 AM »
Hi folks:

I think that I might want 1-3 juicing mangos in my collection.  So far, I'm considering the Indian cultivar "Panchadara Kalasa" and/or the Colombian cultivar "Azucar." 

What are your thoughts on or experience with the above two regarding fruit flavor, quality, size, etc. and tree size/growth habit? 

Are there others not listed that you'd suggest ... why?

(Happy Holidays/New Year in advance)

Greetings and Happy Holidays/New Years to All,

I'm new to the forum but have spent the last few months learning about high density planting, urban fruit tree orchards, and other experimental agricultural techniques for maximizing productivity in finite spaces.  My approach to building my edible landscape in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties is driven by data, evidence, and collective knowledge. At the moment, I have 20+ different types of edible-/fruit trees or shrubs including 19 mangos (and growing!), 8 avocados (and growing!), 10 bananas (you get the idea), carambola, papaya, jaboticaba, mamey, mulberry, raspberry, guava, coffee, cacao, atemoya, etc. etc. etc.  Most of the cultivars I have can be found on my profile.  This has been an exciting experience to share with my 21 month old son, who has been instrumental in assisting me plant them into the ground. 

In any event, I look forward to getting to know and learn from many of you, sharing experiences & perspectives, and bartering knowledge, scions, fruit, and good times!

Warm wishes!
Luis
