I don't have an answer for you, but unless you're selling that, I think you posted in the wrong section. Nice tree though

Did you get my PM?

After a long search, I finally purchased a Chilean Guava off of Etsy last year. It's doing well. They're still on there for $20 and $40 + shipping.

Tracking gave up a few weeks ago, but my package arrived today! Thank you Miguel!

Wow, you have actual turnera diffusa? Do you mind posting a photo of it?

So I decided to crack an egg open at the halfway point. Soil was nice and moist and it looks like I'm getting roots or at least some white clumps that look like roots. Sorry for the awful photos. Are these roots? Is it normal for them to grow like this? I'm also not happy with how the soil stayed separated in each egg half. I'm worried it will tear the roots away from the scion next time I open them. It's my fault for packing the soil in too hard. Could that also be causing the roots to form the way they are? I opened up a couple more (both had the same white clumpy roots) and removed/loosened some of the soil with a toothpick. Maybe I should do that for all of them

I highly recommend Ginkgo tree.

I have one of these in a 3 gallon pot. Nice fall colors and you can make a tea with the leaves, but it's not exactly know for it's fruit... Here is a description I found online, "All agree the aroma is unpleasant but to what degree depends upon the person – some describing it as ripe camembert cheese or rancid butter, and others comparing it more to dog feces or vomit." 

OP, I assume you're talking about growing from seed? Maybe consider a Garcinia or Jabo.

The first pic has opposite leaves and the second pic has spiraling leaves. Does this mean it's a different species or can it be a hybrid variation? I'm very new to this stuff

Ha! Good luck! This is my white whale. It's funny, the plant is somewhat native to the area we live in, but I've never been able to find the plant or seeds. As you probably know, all the Damiana you see online, with the expectation of dry herbs, is Turnera ulmifolia, which is not Damiana. I foolishly bought cheap seeds on ebay years ago. They never sprouted and I later found out they weren't T.diffusa anyways. Even bought some recently ($30 for 10 seeds ebay) and asked the seller if he could guarantee they were authentic. He gave me a very vague answer by saying the price reflected their authenticity. I was suspicious, but still ordered. The seeds came in an unprotected letter envelope, smashed and were not T.diffusa. Was treated rudely by the seller too. They're still on there selling seeds.

Anyways, the plant is considered sacred (and profitable) in Mexico. Maybe has something to do with the lack of seeds? If cartels are involved with avocados, they're most definitely involved with Damiana. Pretty sure Mexico is the only place exporting the dried herbs. Also, the herbs are easily available and reasonably affordable, so I guess there's not much demand for seeds to grow your own. I do have some good news, I recently found a source that has the plant and is attempting to root some cuttings for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

I actually just bought my first Pitangatuba about a week ago, so I can't really comment on how sensitive the plants are, but it should be fine. Keep it out of the hot sun for a while. Maybe mist the leaves once and a while, since it might struggle to get the water it needs with less roots. I wouldn't fertilize until you start seeing growth. Good luck.

 Thank you everyone for your advice. I went out and did some pruning today. The Loquat tree in my childhood home is the fruit that got me into fruits to begin with.  I hope this one recovers

Yeah, the rain came at the worst time a couple weeks ago, just as everything was blooming. I took my little paint brush and tried to pollinate as much as I could before the storm hit. Looks like I'm getting about half the amount of fruit from my Red Baron peach this year compared to last. What kind of peach are you growing?

A few of my Big Jim Loquats are doing this. I cut them open, no bugs. Weather has been a little cold (gloomy 65f-70f daytime) and we just got a little rain. They almost look like...well lets just say I wasn't sure if I should mark this post NSFW Anyone had this problem before?
