Fruit Lover's Nursery Seed and Scions

[demingcr]

Ordered a few seeds (the Rainforest plum as it looked so neat in the pictures you posted). While your customer service is well established here I still want to say a big 'thanks' for the super prompt shipment. I will be checking back again for more seed to expand my collection!

Thanks for the compliment Colin. I still have some rainforest plum, cambuca, and marang seeds if anyone is interested. I will be travelling soon, so will not take any more orders after the end of this month. I already shut down ordering from my website, so if you're interested just PM me and will make special payment arrangement for you.

Hi Oscar,
Will you still take an order?
I'm hoping to get my hands on the Lorenzi book and possibly a few seeds.
Thanks,
Bruce.

Still in India. Just staying at a place that has in room wi fi. A rare treat in India. Right now i'm on the bank of Ganges river in city of Rishikesh, famous in the west for having inspired the Beatles to compose their white album.
I imagine the birds, rats, and other critters are having a feast on all the rainforest plum fruits dropping to the ground. There are probably tons of volunteer seedlings also around all the plants.

?? 

sorry to hear these gems are going to waste, somewhat.

I'm happy to hear you're doing well, and in India with wifi!

my rainforest plum is still blooming, it will I'm assuming up until the first frost!

it's endured temps that defoliated my jaboticaba partially (45f)!

I'm trying to coax it to fruit over the winter!  I think it will shut down, and stop blooming/fruiting until next May, if it freezes.

they seem to have similar cold tolerance to a young cherry of the rio grande..around 25f will be fatal if exposure is prolonged or at an inopportune timing (like when your tree is small)

[fruitlovers]

Seeing as how first fruiting of rainforest plum plants produced 16 pounds of fruits i don't think there will be any shortage of them in the coming future! 

[FlyingFoxFruits]

 

that was probably pound for pound one of the most valuable crops of seed/fruit, in the known world (at least for 2012).

Job well done!!!

I can't believe how productive your plants are!

how many flowering specimens do u have??

cross pollination must help I'm sure. 

[fruitlovers]

I have 7 rainforest plum plants. But the 16 pounds came off just 4 plants, as the other 3 were not fruiting yet. So that is an average of 4 pounds per plant off first fruiting. I remember it took me about an hour to pluck off the 16 pounds of fruit.

[fruitlovers]

I posted photos of heavily flowering and fruiting rainforest plum plants in a previous thread. You can see them here towards end of the thread:

In going back over that posting i see that 16 pounds came off only 3 plants, so that averages over 5 pounds per plant off first fruiting! 

[fruitlovers]

Have Rainforest Plum seeds (Eugenia candolleana) once again available for any of you interested.
Also have small quantity of White Pomegranate seeds collected in Thailand. These are very large, sweet fruit, suitable for tropical climates.
The rainforest plum you can order from my website. If you want some of the pomegranate seeds PM me as i have too few to list it on my website. Just let me know quantity of each you want and i will set up the payment for you.
Thanks,

Right now I have enough for a couple more people to order.

I have small mailable plants of Inga vulpina right now for sale. The vulpina is a dwarf type of Inga for those of you who don't have space in their backyards. This is a nitrogen fixing tree, so will grow in extremely poor soils. Usually maxes out at 20-25 feet. Very ornamental with unusual pink flowers (most ingas have white flowers). The pods are short and stubby with a velvety coating on the outside. This species is very widely adapted. In its native Brazil grows all the way from tropical NE Bahia to the much cooler Catarina in s. Brazil. Price is $25 per plants plus s&h.

I wish I had the space. That would be a great tree to grow.

Hey oscar, could mamey sapote be grafted onto a suebelle sapote? Thanks- Jackson

[fruitlovers]

Hey oscar, could mamey sapote be grafted onto a suebelle sapote? Thanks- Jackson

Hi Jackson, no they can't be grafted because they are in completely different plant families.
Mamey sapote is in Sapotaceae
Suebelle is  white sapote, and is in Rutaceae (citrus family).
The name sapote is kind of confusing because many different fruits have that name. But it just means a soft fruit.

[fyliu]

Jackson, maybe you can graft a mamey onto a green sapote, lucuma, or sapodilla. I'm not sure if it's practical at all given how slow they grow. It must take a long time for grafts to heal too.

Black sapote is also different, basically an astringent persimmon.
