Tropical Fruit Discussion / 2 new additions brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa)
« on: December 26, 2015, 08:25:39 PM »
Wanted to share I finally managed to get a hold of 2 brazil nut trees after years of searching.







I know you need a special type of bees to pollinate but how long do they take in nature to fruit and will they fruit with one tree?

Also whats the best soil type and PH for them and do they like sun or shade when young, not much info in growing this species online.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / why is this
« on: December 22, 2015, 09:07:34 PM »
why is one jabo red while the other is green if their both from the same tree, do jabos always do this from seed. Ive notice Plinia edulis and Plinia rivularis from seed also have this happen to them, some have red new growth while others have green, is there a difference in the tree or fruit between the 2? anyone know the cause of this phenomenon.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Whats going on with my cashew seedlings
« on: December 01, 2015, 08:54:50 PM »
It seems if i give these care they get problems, the ones in sand that are neglected are doing better. These ones are in mostly sand with a little happy frog soil mixed in.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / How long do Artocarpus seeds stay viable
« on: November 27, 2015, 11:34:46 PM »
Im sure there is variation on seed viability depending on variety, in general what would be a time span that would be acceptable for the seeds to still sprout and at what rates of germination success.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / cooking with annatto leaves
« on: October 29, 2015, 10:06:00 PM »

I read the leaves have one of the highest source of tocotrienols so i wanted to add the leaves which i have unlimited of to some dishes im cooking. Anyone have experience.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / water at a depth
« on: October 27, 2015, 06:01:22 PM »
I was surveying my land and dug a bunch of holes to see where the water is, its mostly 4 up to 11 feet before i hit water. so i was wondering if there will be any problems with planting trees like Artocarpus (jackfruit and the like), mango, durian, cacao, java almond, paradise nut, anonnas, salak, avocados, rambutan, Alibertia edulis, amla, cashew, mamey sapote, sapote, garcinias, langsat, inga, star apple, cinnamon, carob, figs, cola, star fruit, lucuma Also any other tree you can think of that wouldn't like it. im thinking too much water or will they be good. Im sure the myrciarias, eugenias, and bananas will love it, same with palms. I think its cool in a way because you never need to water. any thoughts or opinions on this. Just making sure so i don't find out the hard way.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / how long can soursop stand flooding
« on: October 15, 2015, 12:05:17 AM »
Im making a river path threw my yard to guide water in heavy rainfall and im digging a 3 foot hole sloping to act as a break and was thinking it would be good for a soursop as it will stay warmer and i remember reading it can withstand flooding, so since its all free draining the second it stops raining im wondering in heavy rainfall when the hole fills with water could the soursop stand a few days or up to a week flooded.

« on: October 14, 2015, 12:24:31 AM »
I have an annatto about to produce and i researched cooking the seeds but found nothing about cooking the leaves. im wondering is there a special way to cook them and how is the taste. I saw you can make tea with the leaves also and is really beneficial, anyone made tea before with the leaves.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Where is the Fruit Punch
« on: September 10, 2015, 01:38:58 AM »
I find tracking down fruit punch to be extremely difficult, 4 nurseries all said they cant find it, one thought they found one but mistook it for another mango and after driving a few hours to pick it up I found it to be a peach something but at least they had Coconut Cream which i was hesitant to get as Fruit Punch sounds better. one in particular went to miami and visited 3 nurseries but were all sold out. any news if im dealing with meatballs or are they available and without that asian fly what not.

How is the productivity in florida, Sugar content, any grittiness, Does it get as large as other saps (taller,smaller, broadness), Is it a good one among saps. anything else that would be good to know. I read its a mexican variety, so thats cool.

Just trying to gain more info.
