my orange essence is just starting to flower for the first time

This one is going to start to receive more attention as they come into production. It’s prolific, high eating quality, nice size and doesn’t seem to get MBBS. Ours are all flowering well again.

not a fan of it so far.

It's been in ground for 4 years but has put out less flowers than my 2 year old sugar loaf and less than 5% of the flowers on honey kiss

Didn't think my Orange Essence was going to flower this year but it's just now starting to flower. My sugar loaf bloomed twice. Honey Kiss is loaded.

My Pantin was doing great with no special care before the trauma. I'm really just trying to decide on the best variety for a second tree. I'm surprised no one has any suggestions, as there seemed to be a fair amount of discussion a few years ago. Is there a standout among the cultivars I had listed, or should I just decide based on the other factors in my original post?
Thanks!

You should just pick one and try it out, if you don't like it you can replace it. What tastes good in one area can taste terrible in another. Viejo is supposed to fruit in the winter, but a lot of things affect when they flower so it might not in your area.

Not picky about the variety, looking for someone around Davie that has some plants or cuttings

EDIT: meant to post this in the selling section

inga edulis, pond apple, and bananas.

Dry and windy, but none of the mangos in my neighborhood are blooming

A good friend of mine moved to Hawaii a few years ago and ate a fruit and planted the seed. The seed sprouted but she doesn’t know what fruit it came from. Does anyone know what kind of fruit tree this is. Please see attached pictures of the seedling and the seed. Thanks in advance!





Simon

some kind of Pouteria like a canistel, mamey, green sapote, or abiu

plant things you like eating

Not sure about leaves but it has been known to be a fragile tree.

Here's some photos of the best of my small collection.

I protect the one in the ground with a wire cage filled with dry leaves and then wrapped in plastic sheeting.

The newly purchased tree shows its label but all I can read is Yamamomo without any cultivar or variety name.
There was an addition ribbon tag put on by the friend that brought it to me with the hand written name 'Zulko'

I grew up in Japan and that is not a Japanese word.

ah so it's called mountain peach in Japanese, good to know

just use grass clippings or horse manure

I don’t find posts like this helpful, if a person is coming to this board they will generally have basic knowledge like this. I asked for a source, as in, a place I can go to get some volume of what I need, I am not asking for methods of making my own.

I disagree, a lot of people come this board with no prior knowledge. Also if you get mulch from an outside source you don't know what insects, pesticides, herbicides, etc. are in it so making your own or using manure is usually better.

Also you can get horse manure from most ranches in Davie, it's really good for bananas and attracting earthworms.
