Tropical Fruit Discussion / Managing sugar cane patches

« on: April 23, 2023, 01:45:18 PM »

Hey everyone, how do all of you manage your sugar cane patches? I only recently started growing sugar cane last summer. So this is one's years growth and all is pretty new to me. I recently stripped the lower leaves. But I noticed on videos and some people have patches that grow only 3 or 4 large canes. Is there a prefer method kind of like with bananas where you only leave 2 or 3 pups. Here's mine, it's a bit of a mess. Thanks!

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Grapes - what did I just eat?

« on: March 19, 2023, 10:18:39 PM »

These were the best grapes I ever had and was not like anything I had before. Mind you I've really only had grapes from the supermarkets. But this was amazing. It was not just sweet and juicy but the texture was the best part. It was the firmest crispiest grape I had, the skin you would not even know it's there. I picked this up at our local Hispanic chain super supermarket. It looks like it's from Peru. Anyone know what variety this is? Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Dimorcarpus Longan subspecies Malesianus (?)

« on: October 21, 2021, 04:26:28 AM »

Is anyone currently growing this longan subspecies? Can anyone confirm if this is it? I initially got seeds of what I thought was your regular longans over 10 years ago. It produce a fruit that has a thicker skin, much thinner flesh, crisper juicier flesh, and very fragrant perfume longan smell. The skin turns yellow when ripe vs brown. Below is a picture of the fruits it produced. The left side is the subspecies Malesianus I think and the right is your regular longan.
