Using Google translate for German-English translations results in quite novel terminology. "Base" for rootstock, "refinement" for grafting. Horticulture terms may not be the programmers' familiar vocabulary.

Google translator is very bad for sure. The best translator I know of is this one: https://www.deepl.com/translator

I am very sorry for all the confiscated seeds. In my opinion if you order only a few seeds, then cutoms will no notice it or bother about, but if the amount of seeds is bigger, then the risk of loosing it increases...

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Where to buy trees overseas?
« on: April 28, 2021, 05:32:45 PM »
I know a few nurseries in Europ selling tropical fruit trees. But after Brexit I don't know if they can send plants to Uk and I don't know if they would send plants to Gambia.

Shipping plants is risky and very expensive. My advice is to start with seeds, which grow very fast in tropical climate. Seeds can survive weeks and even month in the mail, while plants are very perishable. Later he can also consider ordering budwood for grafting...

Here are good nurseries in Spain:

Unlike all my other pouterias, my ross suffers a lot from chlorosis and is also y very poor bearer. Do I have those problems maybe because my ross is grafted on canistel?

« on: April 13, 2021, 05:36:39 PM »
The fastest, easiest and cheapest method is to paint the trees with chalk. You take a brush and splash it on the trees. This will protect them like an sun lotion and does not harm them. The new groth under the painted leaves will be well adapted to the sun and heat. This method works great for all kind of tropical fruit trees. Here are some examplres from the research station...

Hi Richard,

I am using a heat mat  and I removed gently the seed coat. Now they are starting to germinate, but the tap root is developing pretty slow. It is the slowliest pouteria I have ever germinated, usually they germinate and grow fast... but patience pays of they say...  ;D  ::)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Does anybody have experience growing dragonfruit in semi arid areas?
« on: April 12, 2021, 09:30:59 AM »
In Winter it should get below 10 Celsius. If he has a hot, dry and sunny Summer, then he should use shade cloth in order to filter 30% of the sun light. Otherwise the plants suffer too much stress.

Wirst wrap the scions in parafilm to keep the moisture. Them paint the graft with chalk, this reflects the sun and keeps it cool. Once the scion starts to grow, the buds will push through the pafarilm and chalk and should handle the sun and heat well.

BTW, when you put a plant in ground (move it from the green house to outdoors) it is a good method to paint the whole plant with chalk in order to protect from hot and dry climate. I have written before about in the forum...

My seeds arrived very fast and shipping method is perfect. My inga seeds have already sprouted. Thank you very much Richard! :-)

However my taturuba seeds show no sign of germination after two weeks. How long do taturuba seeds usually take to germinate?

My experience is that this tree is a very slow grower.
