The Tropical Fruit Forum

I was unable to use all the material Jeremy kindly sent me, so I’m selling them on to the next for cheap. In grafting these, I also have some Wandao scion, which have visible buds coming in.

I’d like to sell these all at once for $80 delivered, anywhere in the USA.

Blessed be the soil at the ranch I am living at, cause these are unreal. I bet there are some 1lb Hass out in the orchard if I look for long enough.

While I was working my bees I noticed something odd in my hirsuta. A damned fruit!!! I have been trying everything for this tree, hand pollinating, grafting, and resorted to getting other campomanesia thinking they may cross pollinate. I even got into bees basically for this one plant.

Guess it just needed to be ignored. Can’t wait to taste the most absurdly sour fruit ever! I plan to squish them into cocktails after eating out of hand.

I have a very limited number of scions from these psidium species. Probably only a couple each, and some will be small, but I know people really are interested in these. I grafted these to guajava with great success last year, probably 90% take on the grafts. These are primed for success, buds are formed and ready to go.

Minimum order 4pcs, can mix and match. I will confirm I have what you are looking for and cut, then ship. It will take some time to organize and ship each order, post office is far from my place.

Folhas Finas $10 a scion


Guineense $10 a scion


Big Yellow Guineense $10 a scion - this is my fave psidium in the collection


Fern Leaf $10 a scion (very limited)


Striatulum $10 a scion, got lots of this


"Skittles" $10 a scion (this is probably another guineense)

There is so much Moro Blood Orange at the ranch, it's just going to waste falling off the trees. Organically grown.

I'd like to try selling and shipping some.

$75 for a large USPS box full, about 10lb, shipping included
$60 for a medium USPS box full, about 6-7lb, shipping included

Had this a big Grimal branch break off when tree fell over in the wind, and cut a nice Sabara branch for another forum member. Messed up with meeting time with him and I guess he doesn’t want them anymore so they’re up for grabs. Still feel bad about that, but no sense wasting good Scion. 

$12 shipping and I’ll send both. There is a flower bud coming in on the Grimal wood, Sabara has been fruiting for years.

I received way too many scion requests off Mason31’s post so I guess I should offer these. I have a vast collection of pitanga (eugenia uniflora) because I adore the fruit and have ended up with some winners.

Seeds: $3 min 5 - Vermillion or Black Star, don't have others right now
Scion: $5 each, see below for size, I may be able to spare larger diameter but unlikely

Regina (seedling) really large red fruit, they go darker than most reds but I'm going to call it a red.


"Dark Purple" this was from another collector and said to be ultra sweet, he was not kidding, it is cloyingly sweet.


Black Star Pitanga (this is a seedling, but fruit goes dead black and is the best flavor. It is also has large fruit)


Black Star, super productive, sets super well


Vermillion (grafted) fruit has a great flavor, and pumps out fruit, it is basically flowering and fruiting non-stop I see why this was selected


Misiones "giant" Pitanga from Marcos in Argentina, the fruit was very small and totally smooth so I guess a black dasyblasta. It was a first fruiting though, so it will probably get bigger. Flavor was VERY sweet. I did get one large fruit off it recently, randomly. Unknown. It is definitely more cold hardy than the others I have.


Shalom's Giant Red (seedling) supposedly giant fruit, got the plant mature from another collector, it has not fruited for me but he is a legit source and I trust him it was giant


This is the size of scion I have, mostly


A nice handful of fruit from the Vermillion (red), and some Black Star at the bottom

Anyone seen a papaya with peduncles this long? Super weird plant. I dig the red color of the plant.

Have to thin down the herd here. These were all recently up potted, and are good for at least the next year in these 1g pots.

I would prefer to have people pick up, not trying to ship at this time. I sometimes go down to LA area, but pretty rarely.

Ilama seeds were from El Salvador, mix of red and white, don't know what's what but they don't come true to seed anyhow I hear.  Only kept seeds of the verified good ones.

The eugenia and plinia seeds are from Helton Sr. in Brazil


Ilama seedlings, $25 each


Eugenia Tenuipedunculata, $30 each


Eugenia Moraviana, $30 each


Eugenia Zuccarini, $30 each


Eugenia Repanda, black fruit, community pot $40, don't know how many in here, but a lot


Olho de Boi community pot $40


Eugenia SP, $30 each


Campomanesia SSP Nova $50 each


Eugenia Augustana $60 each


Eugenia Florida $30 each

Wanted to make these available to collectors.



Been grafting these oddballs to guajava with good success, have a now second year graft of the araza banana that is growing super fast on my guajava. Did long leaf a few weeks ago and it’s pushing out well, I strongly believe they’re compatible.

$5 for small wood
$10 for larger

Example of larger size, this is guineense, I’ll have some of that available next year.

I was given some Nemaforce SF to trial for BFF here in Santa Barbara by Rincon Vitova the local insectary. Hopefully it works. I’ve been hit bad by BFF for the last few years in my fig forest project and would be overjoyed if this whacks the larvae and eggs.

Just a portion. Probably have another video to put up of the same length to show the more randomly placed stuff, and greenhouse area

Anyone have a source for guajava rootstocks? I can find airlayered plants here in nurseries for $40-$60 for 3g's but that's kinda steep. I want to propagate some of my rare psidium, which I've found graft onto guajava just fine.
