Has it always had the coconuts produce variegated like that? Wonder if there’s a way to stimulate pups to grow?
As long as the nut dropped from the tree naturally once dry and had water swooshing inside when shaken it should germinate. Definitely interested by the way. How much would a seed nut go for?
I was reading where the offspring of anomaly didn't show the same precociousness. Is that the case, or have those trees begun showing at least improved fruit production/flowering?
Can Jaca Cacao be realistically grown in a pot and be brought indoors in winter?
How large does the Atherton oak get when it starts producing nuts, and what is its cold tolerance?
Interested in all three, provisionally.
define "monster." i'm curious. i have friends here (in Hawaii of course) fruiting cacao in 3 gallons.
@bloom and sprout-the atherton is a friend's tree. i believe it's larger
There was someone in Santa Barbara that posted a pic of a monster sized Cacao in a pot that they brought in for winter. It's doable but you would need the room for it. Atherton Oak don't know much but might be similar requirements to Macadamia since they are somewhat related.
Your orange skin lemon drop mangosteen, do you know which species it is? I've heard of at least 4 Garcinia species referred to with the common name of lemondrop mangosteen. (Madruno, intermedia, brasiliensis, gardneriana)intermedia.
Langsat. Paid a pretty for it online (Miami fruit) but it tasted like grapefruit. Hard pass.
Fruta do Mistério (Fruit of Mystery) was very disappointing for me. Almost no flesh and not much flavor. At least it fruited really early so I didn't waste much time.
Pitangatuba was a disapointment, "fibrous bag around a seed" is how I'd describe it. The flavor was nice enough but it just wasn't in a form that I wanted to eat. Rarely ripened properly either, fruits usually fell off the tree while half green and it didn't set much fruit anyway even with multiple trees. Possible it gets better over time but I ditched mine to make space a year or two after first fruit
My non-anomaly already makes more fruit than I can eat
probably interested in some Atherton oaks, I keep killing them somehow. What's the secret to getting these past a few inches?
Santa Cruz Sweet 'Sun Drop' seedlings, Eugenia pyriformis (Yes I'm stealing the common name from that other Eugenia)

I have a sweet pitangatuba. Only tried 1 fruit off the tree. It was sweet and sour and complex, but a little overripe. It is flowering now, as is Topaz. About time to get a brix meter.
All the salaks are still up for grabs! Chopping them down next week if I can't find someone to take them
Topaz…Would love to hear the taste on that
Anyone else got this to fruit for them yet?
Here's a few fruit photos from last year:
They all look to be setting fruit... fingers crossed!
