Any corrosive substance will do the trick especially Potassium Nitrate which has been used as a stump remover (you need to drill a hole). Even sulfuric acid should be fine too.

Hi,

I'm more interested in "jabuticaba-coroada-da-restinga" because according to e-jardim.com it is more suitable for a warmer climate than the normal 'Jabuticaba-coroada".  Let me know if you have it. Also looking for Plinia edulis.

Evilfruit

the plant was mislabeled at the nursery I got it from...it was actually Eugenia myrcianthes...and I gave the tree away.  It has since fruited.

I now have the real Eugenia klotzschiana, and it's very small...and slow growing...they're only about 4 inch tall, and one year old.

they hate excess moisture during the winter season...and also high ph.

I don't have high hopes anymore for this species.

Thank you for your input.

I have been thinking about growing Eugenia klotzschiana and Annona salzmannii. The only person who wrote about these two species is you. I guess you have a good taste or you got the blood of a true fruit hunter.   :P

BTW, did you get Eugenia klotzschiana seeds from Helton ?.

Hi,

Tell your friend to check her thyroid function to make sure that she doesn't suffer from hypothyroidism. Also, Normal level of vitamin D means better Immune System, Reduce cancer risk and Helps the body to burn more fat (http://www.ergo-log.com/vitamin-d.html).

Metformin (anti-diabetic drug) can be used as an appetite suppressant and from my experience it does work. She can easily get a prescription from her doctor. It seems Metformin does have anti-aging properties  8)(http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2001/sep2001_report_metformin_01.htm)

Amazing.

The fruit looks like Amla. Are they tasty ?

Oscar i wrote that all "products" in Foodland Bangkok cost more then in German supermarkets. I meant meat, fish, milk, eggs, soap etc. etc.

The website from Aldi says the fruits are from Italien=Italy or Spanien=Spain so they are not grown in Germany. The prices are very low in my opinion. I did see rambutans there but i don't like them. In Holland i saw rambutans for like 25 $ a kg, also mangosteen 25$ a kg (2.2 lbs) and sweet small passionfruits and granadilla for 30$ a kg. Holland is more expensive then Germany in everything. Germany does not have minimum wages that's why.

Mohammed i wonder what kind of soil you are using for passionfruits. They need good fertile soil which is hard to find in Dubai. I was in Abu Dhabi this weekend and there it is the same soil, only yellow sand and looks very very dry. I know that Dubai gardencentres buy a lot of plants here in Thailand, maybe you can let them bring fruittree's as well?

I grow the passionfruits flavicarpa here in Bangkok. I have some in a big container that almost have no leaves and look crappy. I also have them in a big raised bed and they became a huge bush and are flowering at the moment. No fruits to see yet.

If you go to Dubai municipality. They give free gardening soil to the locals without paying any money. They also sells fertilizers for very cheap prices.

About my soil, I removed about 2ft from the top soil and replace it with the gardening soil that I got from the municipality. I also added lots of caw manure and fish waste from the fish Market. I keep Biodegradable waste in a special trash can and at the end of the day I dig a hole in the ground and throw everything inside.  8)

I don't know the weather in Dubai, but if it's anything like Saudi Arabia(hot and dry). Why don't you try growing the passiflora edulis var flavicarpa. It's the yellow kind, they are more adapted to tropical weather and can tolerate hotter weather than the purple kind. But, they are more cold sensitive though. So, if winter lows in Dubai, goes into the below freezing temps 0c degree, you will have to give it some winter protection, but if it doesn't drop that low and its 2c and up, then it should do fine there.

Here, The temperature  never gets below 7C in the winter But in the summer the temperature can reach up to 46C. I have successfully fruited Custard Apple, Sapodilla , Mulberry, Mango, Papaya, Indian Almond and Indian Guava. Right now, I'm growing Guadeloupe Canistel (hope to get pointed canistel from Oscar), Mammea Amreicana, malay apple, Nance fruit, 8 types of garcinia, Jackfruit and others.

Wish me good luck because I certainly NEED it. 8)

Thanks again. I will try to get  passiflora edulis var.flavicarpa.
