The Tropical Fruit Forum

Fall is coming around, and I need to heat my greenhouse this winter lol.
Nice large scarlets for $175 including shipping.





Will flower within a year as it's from a mature tree.
I also have
sabara 5 (x) grafted plants (triple grafted tree for $125) and some yangmei
also have a few Davidson's plum (Davidsonia Jersayana) ($25)
And many large trees for local pickup in TN.

I'm currently growing over 75+ varieties in zone 7b.
Greenhouse winter outside summer. Fertilizer is whenever I remember (slow release is good).
No pests or diseases.
they all take different times to fruit
Fastest are red and scarlet.

Glad to hear it's a good fruit. I have decent sized tree and it also has rollinia sp. Peru too.
I guess another rollinia variant.

Is this Peru Rolinia more cold hardy?

I have no idea. I will have to check.

Nice responses. I've seen Adam's videos, and his freeze dried stuff looks amazing. I have a star fruit just about ready and may just yeet it in there and see what happens.

I'll definitely do lychee next year.

I have some mangos almost ready so I'll probably try those also. I remember trying some at the store and they were amazing.

Nice job.
I planted two lychees in my greenhouse as they are one of my favorite fruits.
Super fast growth and they do extremely well.
If I could redo the greenhouse, I'd only plant lychees. But then would get boring so quick...gotta have variety.

D-Grower is the man!
Definitely check his plants out!

I'll take 2 please.

Thank you.  The only artocarpus I have outside are jackfruit which I know can handle some cold.  My greenhouse heater is set to 55F which should be good enough for anything, I hope.  Marang is doing great in there and has already survived one winter. 

Everything goes in the greenhouse soon enough, I am just trying to do it slowly over the next month.

Ok, yeah 50+ is good for basically everything. Could do ultra tropicals although longer times of cold may stunt growth. But glad to see yours doing well.

Breadfruit and most artocarpus, many Asian garcinias excluding dulcis and a few others.
Cacao and their relatives don't like it either.
Now injury we talking is like a set back or something, short times in that temp range wouldn't kill them. Extended temps do.
Pouterias are fine as well as syzygiums.
How low does your greenhouse get? I was surprised you had marang and others doing pretty well.

Got some mangosteen and Manilkara kakui Seeds for sale.
$6 each mangosteen
$4 each m. kakui.

sure you can .
variegated escalate not that rare? 2023 , what a time to be alive.

I tried to graft a super rare plinia I can't say the name of for now, but then it didn't make it ...

I did successfully graft variegated scarlet, but I mean, it's not that rare. I think it's a clutch graft cause I had to give away the plant for graftatree so before I sent it off I took a scion...I regret that but at least I have it

New variety name...can't let them know yet
The plant matrix won't let me.
I hope to post it soon though when I'm not too busy with school and work.
Hint - the name is after another tree with long leaves.

The variegated scarlet is still rare, but at least a few collectors made it more common after a few large trees made it in. LOL
I think the variegated coronata is more rare...and btw if anyone is looking for a plant, I do have one spare.
