Tropical Fruit Discussion / Container Soil for Young Mangosteen?
« on: February 23, 2014, 06:56:10 PM »
I have read information from several sites that recommend Loam( Sand/Clay/Silt). I haven't seen anyone on
line that carries this and don't have the ingredients available in my area (to my knowledge). The plant is about
2 years old (3 feet tall) and will be in a container and shaded. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Here is a photo of a Pickering growing in Sanford. I transfered it from a 3 gallong pot to a 15 gallon potin late 2012. Problem I had this year it was in full bloom in mid January so I got very little fruit set.


Jim, I do not see a picture? Unless its just my computer!?!

Please repost, Thanks!!

Same here.

38 degrees this morning but only light frost thank goodness! Everything seems fine so far...

Wow, Nancy you've had a rough winter. Is this weather unusual for this late in the winter?? Wish you the best of luck...spring is right around the corner :)

I think the coldest weather I experienced during the past 2 years was late February - early March. Hopefully, that won't happen again this year. Nice
to see that we have a week of beautiful weather ahead of us.

Carrie is blooming nicely with more on the way from the lower limbs. The NDM is also blooming, but nowhere near as much
as the Carrie.

This year I sprayed my Carrie and NDM with Plant Doctor from Home Depot due to the frequency of rainy, cloudy days the
past few weeks.

My Kent is much to large to reach with any type of sprayer I've seen so I am trying the Plant Doctor/Pentra Bark method to
see if that will take care of the Antracnose that has reeked havoc the past 2 years.

Adam:

I know you're busy processing the 1st round of orders and would like to add my name to the list for
10 plants if you have a second round.

Thanks!

The wind shift ocurred here at 10:30 AM. The temperature has dropped from 73o to 65oF.

Went out for lunch and it was 65. Returned 45 minutes later and it was 61. Down to 52 now.

Not sure how cold it will be in St. Petersburg area on Tuesday so I decided to add a little protection. I left both ends open for
ventilation as it was warm today and will close them tomorrow evening. I'm sure the florida room wall will provide some heat
but to be safe, I also have two 2 station space heaters ready to plug in. I also hung a thermometer on the Lychee, facing the florida
room so I can look out the window to monitor the temperature.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Valentini fruit ice creams
« on: December 28, 2013, 05:07:49 PM »
Should have stuck with the Chocolate Trinity plan, but I get easily swayed by bright packaging colors.
A far as ice cream goes that stuff was nice, but any actual flavor as labeled was pretty lacking. If we were blindfolded and asked to identify the flavor, for mango I would have guessed creamsicle (and I haven't had one of those in 35 years). I cant come up with what the Mamey tasted like, but it wasn't like any of the few mamey I have had.

The mango sorbetto talked about in this thread is much better.

I'll second that. I would be hard pressed to recognize the taste as Mango when I tried it (once).

This is a 3 gallon Pickering as far as shipping I dont have a account with FedX they will be the cheapest going to open one the first of the year. Shipping is so much. I have a one gallon var sappadilla for Greenthumb the shipping was more than the plant. Makes me feel like a thief. I will check after the first



Thanks Mike

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pomegranate - Vietnam
« on: December 25, 2013, 08:16:02 AM »
I 'm also searching for a pomegranate that has small seeds, can stand high humidity and produces well.

Does anybody have one ?


I am part of the Florida Pomegranate Association, and I have been testing out in my house the sirenevyi, desertnyi, and the angel red pomegranates which all are said to have small seeds. So far the most vigorous one is the desertnyi, but they have not fruited yet so I have not tried them. They will most likely fruit this year. Would you like a cutting anyway?

Do you still have a 3or 7 gal Pickering? If so, do you ship to St. Petersburg?
