Thanks again for letting me stop by and get some while getting poured on in the rain😂
I find it best to cut and then scoop out with a spoon.
Anytime, bud, I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Tons of abius. Selling or trading or if anyone just wants to try locally
« on: July 06, 2025, 07:24:14 PM »
I just picked around 50lbs of abius. I have another 20 lbs on the tree.
Ideally, someone can just buy the lot, but if anyone is interested, please PM me. If you want the whole set I'll work with you on the price
$7/lb if it's just a few lbs.
I can do medium USPS boxes for $75, including shipping. Around 5lbs of fruit
I can't ship to CA

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Cambuca (or other large jabo) Growers
« on: July 01, 2025, 06:19:40 PM »
Im trying to grow out the big yellow ones as well.
My cambuca is around 4 years old in a pot. It's around 6ft. Doing pretty well. Surprisingly vigorous.
Inflata and clause are 2 years old and are around 2 feet.
All are in partial sun.
Once my cambuca broke the tree line I started seeing sun burn.
I'll need to figure out how to gradually harden them off in full sun

Sorry, at this time I'm only offering the two option for shipping.
I'll look into the feasibility of an abiu only box.
Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Sonpari vs Arka Neelkiran
« on: May 16, 2025, 06:59:17 AM »
I find son pari to be on the lower vigor side.
Very productive though.
I'm not a big fan of the fruit, it just taste okay and they're a lot of other heavy hitters coming in around the same time. So I find every season in lot end up getting neglected and going bad
I really like arka neelkiran, the only reason I haven't grafted it so far is I hear it's really low vigor

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Jean Ellen
« on: May 13, 2025, 03:26:20 PM »I see Tropical Acres Farm has Jean Ellen available for sale. It's my understanding this was a Frank Smathers cultivar developed at Four Fillies Farm. Has anyone here tasted the fruit? Is it top tier variety?
I acquired a tree based on growth habit and it being an early season Indian flavored fruit.
I've had it a few time.
The main selling point for me was the season, the flavor was just alright, mild. Indian flavored for sure.
I considered multi grafting it, but after having it a few times I decided against it

« on: May 12, 2025, 02:26:55 PM »I see Alex, Truly Tropical and Mangomen are all opening for sales. Based on what’s on offer, looks like an earlier than ‘normal’ season (meaning start and end). Would you agree?
Its not super early like a few years ago. I'm only getting my normal early season stuff now. I'd say mid-late June should be the height.
My Zinc is loaded, looking forward to that coming in June

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Mangos for sale $4/lb (2025) also abiu
« on: May 10, 2025, 07:14:47 PM »
Hey everyone, I started picking a fair bit of mangos this weekend.
I should have enough to start selling starting Monday (5/12).
I'll keep updating this thread as the varieties change.
I've been in the process thinning the collection in anticipation of moving (not far), so this may be my last mango season as a producer for a while.
Over the course of the season I should have Angie, Buxton Spice, CAC, Dupuis, Honey kiss, M-4, Manilita, Neelam, Peach Cobbler, Pickering, Orange Sherbet, Sturrock, Taralay, Zinc
and a more limited quantity of Lemon Zest and Smith.
If there is enough local interest I can probably get some more varieties from other nearby members. (I'll see what I can reasonably handle this year)
Please PM if interested. Local pickup only $4/lb (I'm in the Northwest Broward area, not far from Sawgrass Exp and Sample Rd)
Feel free to text or call as well.

I starting getting a few mangos starting at the end of April. Manilita Mango.
By a few I mean 4 over the last week or two. Manilita is usually a mild mango in the best of times so right now its even milder.
But I'll take what i can get.
Happy Mango Season everyone.

« on: April 20, 2025, 10:24:27 PM »
I cut down my mature Guava, Seine Ta Lone / Peach Cobbler (multigrafted tree) last year as well.
It was producing (both) pretty reliably for me though. I'm not a big fan of Guava and have Peach cobbler grafted elsewhere.
I had emerald quite a few times back when it was more popular (around 6-8 years ago). It was featured a few times on the Fairchild list. While those mangos might not be top notch in terms of flavor, they were typically reliable producers and clean.
Had a strong West indian flavor, a lot of passion fruit and guava notes in the resin. It was a little too acidic for my taste (same reason why I'm not that high on Sweet Tart).

« on: February 06, 2025, 08:57:49 PM »
My understanding is that you are supposed to treat it like reticulata and wait for it to get soft on the tree.
Later season reticulatas have problems with flavor if there aren't many leaves left on the tree. How does the trees look like in CA when its cherilata season?

« on: November 18, 2024, 11:04:21 AM »The one that huertasurbanas sells seeds of is good. My friend has grown it out to fruiting and it is way better than whatever has been floating around in the US for a while. Its worthy to grow for its fruit I have been told.
Thats great to hear, mine (from huertasurbanas) is finally fruiting as well.
Expecting good things
It fruited this year but I didn't get to taste it, only one fruit but it fell off the tree
Have you tried the fruit yet? Was it good?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Star Apple Caimito pollination
« on: November 03, 2024, 11:25:04 AM »I had the standard purple from PIN.
It fruited a ton by itself for a few years.
I now have a hipolito too.
I think that is where mine is from. I assume you have it in the ground? Do you remember how tall it was when it set fruit. Was the fruit any good? Trying to decide if I should keep it with my limited gh space.
I planted mine 2014, it started fruiting around 5 years later I think.
It produces buckets of fruit. Way more than I can handle.
The fruit is alright though, I wouldn't plant it again if I had only a 1/4 acre
Very similar to abiu but easier to take care, better season and I find the fruit a little sweeter.
Ive had a few different varieties but I tend to like the green ones better, the season is a like later but it's really hard to pick it right. I still can't consistently
