I have a Dupois seedling with 4-5 shoots and a random poly seedling with 5-6 shoots in 1 gal that i want to separate this weekend but i do not want to kill the shoots.
Thanks.

Why don't you grow Cherimoyas instead?
Don't they grow fine over there in California.? I've tasted both and Cherimoya IMO is superior.
Search the Cherimoya threads ..read and learn!

Graft looks good. How long ago did you graft?
Also, remove the shoots!

Boy you guys are lucky to live in California. If i tried to plant a fruit tree close to the wall like that in Arizona ( other than maybe a pomegranate) ..... it would burn to a crisp lol.

Yeah, Top it man!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: How to increase yield on Lemon Zest Mango?
« on: September 09, 2019, 11:23:24 AM »
Thank you Simon for this very informative post. I live in phoenix in a farming community. I have seven seedlings in the ground doing well. Five are on Flood irrigation.
Lemon Zest will definitely be one of the varieties i plan to graft on one or two of the trees when they get to size probably in 3 years. I'm patient. In the desert we get none of those fungus issues.
Congrats to Gary his tree looks phenomenal!!

Thanks again for the valuable info.
Mike

Zands and Ed this is just a delicious mango. I got my 4-5 mangoes from Walter this summer and they were all delicious. I think it's a special mango that people should at least try.
Turns yellow when fully ripe.
Get your hands on some next year. I sure will!

Yes Gary is quite generous. In fact i have a couple of his Madam Frances seedlings ( sprouted successfully) growing right now in-ground in my yard and my neighbors here in Arizona.
Thanks for your generosity Gary. I'm very fond of the flavor of Madam Frances. I got to say you gave me some huge fruits that i really enjoyed. I also got to see Juicy Lucy tree. Quite  a good bearer.

SHV ,looks like typical droopy growth. Stop wasting time buying Florida rootstock trees especially if you are going to plant in-ground. My bet is that plant will just about stay that height in 2 years or wither away and die.....just being real with you!!!
Grow rootstock from a good mango seed or purchase a manila mango and graft onto it later.
Do your research on these boards you will find that not many people have success with Turpentine rootstock from FL.

Great for you Abe. Keep it up man. As another poster said and i was noticing you seem to have a lot of open spaces to plant some more trees other than guava. Do you like mango or avocados?
You have a great climate man.

Plant a Dwarf Hawaiian ( early mango) , a Guava mango , Maha Chanok  ( mid season)   and a maybe later mangoes like a Beverly , Keitt, Honey Kiss or Neelam

As for avocados i know you guys in Florida have a lot to choose from.
When you have a chance next mango season go to Zill High performance plants ( Gary Zill), Go to Walter Zill's place , Tropical Acres Farms ( Alex's place) , Truly Tropical ( Chris' place) and buy and sample fruits / ask questions on varieties / production/ season and growth habits of certain trees ..accumulate info and make your decision..but taste lots of fruits before you plant whatever you like.

You are so lucky..you have the right climate to grow many , many tropical fruits. Btw congratulations on your new home and your lovely Guava tree.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What happened to my jackfruit tree?
« on: August 06, 2019, 11:23:14 AM »
Malia, do not replace the soil with any other soil . Jack fruit grow  well in Florida in your native soil in most areas.
Dig at least 3 ft down by 3-4 ft wide square hole.
Plant the jackfruit.
Back fill only with the soil you dug out.
After planting mulch on top with woodchips and or grass clippings / leaves. Keep this material 8 inches or so from the  trunk of your plant.
If you want you can also put a layer of compost 8 -inches or so away from the trunk directly around the tree
Water well with a hose
Fertilize in spring and maybe late summer

Rick i would listen to Oolie, remove all the fruit. If you want any vegetative growth next year....i would.
I think your tree is too small to hold all that fruit. I'm interested to see a pic of that tree next year at this time. If it grows great for you, if it doesn't lesson learned.
Let the tree fill out more before you let it hold fruit.

Nice Pruning Jake...you did good.
Now teach yourself how to graft and also plant another tree so you are not so invested in this one tree!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Looks like another successful Mango Graft Using The Tie Wire Method
« on: July 30, 2019, 12:35:41 PM »
Ed has a good system . For those who do not want to use the ties. After i wrap the scion with the Rubber band , i wrap the rubber band with Buddy Tape ( thicker material than parafilm)which protects the rubber band from drying out/ becoming frayed and loose and this protects it enough while the graft takes or not.

Ulfr thanks for this . I grew up eating lots of custard apples ( sour sop) in Jamaica. I also had lots of red annona reticula growing up . Are they doing research on those also?
