Just realized I never replied here after I got our box! I liked the flavor a lot, but I was a little surprised that the seeds themselves were more like clusters of loosely packed embryos, and fell apart in my mouth if I tried to suck the flesh off. I was expecting solid "beans"!

In the end I mostly cut the flesh off with a sharp knife and made a pile of the outer fleshy parts to eat by the handful.

Very happy with the order, definitely recommend!

Interesting, the black portion of the seeds never fall apart unless you bite them. Was it only the green parts (I have no idea what the hell the green portions are or the function they play)? Glad you liked them!

There were pieces of small black too, and some white bits, but mostly it was green ones. I think they all looked like embryos, whether black, white, or green, just the black ones were more fully developed into "seeds" than the others. But I'm not a plant biologist! I've just seen similar range of embryos in other poly seeds like citrus and mango.

A sprout will pop from most of them!

I’ll be propagating my tice this season. I hear it is RKN resistant.

I can cut Fairchild 2 canistel. Pm me

Does this look like the variety?

Yeah, it looks just like that. The Carmine is a renowned variety throughout Southern China for its creamy flesh, pungent smell, and gorgeous red/yellow skin.

Here is a response from who I bought my tree from:
‘ This variety is a unique specialty in southern China, my hometown. It has a rich and unique aroma, and sweet and soft flesh. Now among Chinese guava lovers, this variety is the top pursuit, because with the development of the city where it is produced, development, these breeds began to die out. Carmine guava is a series, and it is also subdivided into more than 10 varieties with different appearance colors. I believe that there are not many varieties left in China now (for the reasons I mentioned). The mother tree is a tree located in Los Angeles. For an old couple, his father brought it from China to Los Angeles for planting more than 30 years ago. The characteristics of this variety are irreplaceable, and you will understand it when your tree has fruits. I bought a few trees from an old couple. He said they were air layered. Some were air layered from the branches, and some were saplings grown from the roots. I believe your tree belongs to the latter. I took it back at that time. In addition to selling them to you, they also sell them to other people. Theirs last year produced a small amount of fruit, and the fruit was correct and not wrong. So please rest assured. You will definitely like its fruit because of its unparalleled exotic aroma and sweet and glutinous flesh.’

I've never heard of or seen any of the cultivars on this list. Has anyone seen any of these available , seed or scion , anywhere?
I think it would be easier to find fruiting Wani or russell's sweet scion.
Raul and Bob went to the Illama research stations in central america and got some cool stuff but I don't see where these could be available from. shoot for the moon though.

That’s what I was thinking. I haven’t seen any material for these offered let alone even heard of any of these names. But now I want them all!

Does this look like the variety?

I’ll take the 4 cinn apple. Would like to see pictures, what is your IG?
