I get the same thing in my greenhouse.  Nice sized branches sometimes too.  Very frustrating.

Anybody know if plant and/or fruit is toxic to dogs or cats? I doubt that the fruit is and plant probably is not either...but, I promised someone I would check into this. Thanks.

Very nice!  How long?

Very nice Oscar!  How they do at the farmer's markets? 

Hey Sunny, good find on that last one.  Good to know someone is at least trying it.  So can I assume you will be driving down to that province soon and picking up a bunch of pulasan plants?!!     On your way back, just swing thru Bangkok and drop a couple off at my in-laws!!  Thanks!!   

Peter...I tried contacted several nurseries in Malaysia concerning this.  Apparently, there must be something in place where Thailand does not allow material in from Malaysia.  I had one owner say she makes regular trips to Thailand but made if clear that she was basically smuggling them in.  She never did come thru on her promise to get me some plants.  All other efforts have failed.  I know have three nice specimens and I plan on just bringing them with me to Thailand next year...providing I keep them alive! 

In addition to the Bangkok area, we were in all of the best fruit growing provinces a few years ago and visited many farms and nurseries.  We asked anyone and everyone in the business about pulasan.  I even carried pictures of the plants and fruit with me!  Out of all of these folks, only one lady even knew what it was and she happened to come across the fruit while traveling out of the country.  She really loved it, more than rambutan...which says a lot for a Thai.  She brought seeds back with her and was trying to grow some.  Maybe next year I will check back with her on her progress.

Nice to know that you folks have an appreciation for the pulasan Oscar.  Hopefully it will become more well known.  Unlike in Thailand...when you ask about pulasan, they look at you like you were a simpleton...99% of them don't even know what pulasan is!

Very nice.  A big "want" from many growers.

We had 3 Phoenix mangoes a couple Sundays ago and each one was rather horrible.  Most of the mangoes we tried were either washed out in flavor or just not good at all.  I would not count this year a good indication on how your mangoes can really taste.  Still worries me a bit because I have a Phoenix!   

I believe covering in plastic has been suggested before as well.

I would have thought there might be more...lychees and rambutan.  I can get both here in Columbus.  Jungle Jims is an experience but glad I didn't make the trip.

Normally any mango we get from Mexico are only good for a fruit arrangement on the table.  Then you throw them out.

Are you going to remove all of the infected/dead branches..cutting back the tree in hopes that it recovers?
