Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: achachairu in heavy clay?
« on: July 18, 2025, 09:25:31 PM »
Clay is the best to have as it has high cation exchange capacity
I’d just be careful of overwatering during winter when it’s cold, but your greenhouse doesn’t get as cold as mine so nothing to worry about.
Your achacha looks great!

Can I just wait for seeds to dry completely and store them for 5 years like Squash, Corn & Bean Seeds?
It's not like Jackfruit seeds die apon drying out right?
They will die after drying out!
Must be kept moist at all times and planted out asap.

After I get fruit from these id be willing to start trading slips/pups etc. I've only been collecting pineapple for a year so all mine are fairly small still. There isn't a ton of info online regarding hilo. I've seen people say they're all types of white varities. Are white hilo and cayanne hilo different? Thank you.
Not sure...
I got them from my friend John Travis Morton...He knows much more about them than I.

There’s some in Orlando that’ll fruit
But on cold years they can get set back a bit.
Furthest north I’ve seen one growing is at one of the citrus centers hours drive north or so of Orlando but not fruiting.
Inland? I feel like I've seen coconut palms but no fruit in Daytona..

I've seen once a thread here:

https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=53016.0
Very good recall! Not too much activity, but it does help! Thank you!
Yes, inland.
I do recall seeing a post about the one in Daytona.

I heard someone fruited one in South GA by cutting the fronds to 4 feet and protecting during the winter using a heated structure type like greenhouse

How is everyone's yangmei doing for people on the east coast?
Mine are doing quite well...they never stop growing. After one flush is finished, a new flush happens right away.
I saw some at my friends place in FL, and they were doing ok...Any other reports of them growing well in FL?

I think it’s the roots
All my annonas are grafted to glabra or monatana
Or every annona I will get from now on will be that
Same thing happened to mine and eventually I threw it out

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Annona (Rollinia) emarginata: the best rootstock for Rollinia?
« on: July 11, 2025, 11:05:04 AM »
I mean I would guess they are compatible.
Morphology is quite similar…
But I don’t see why you just use a bottomless rootmaker instead of going through all that hassle.
My rolling a took cold soil temps totally ok.

They’ve taken down to 38f for me and done well. And I may have had one that took a frost on.
I don’t think a frost would kill them? But it may set them back a lot.
The seeds I got from lance are doing very well.

« on: July 06, 2025, 09:33:47 PM »
These are very good!!!
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.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Help me identify two plants in my yard!
« on: July 05, 2025, 02:47:19 PM »
I think you guessed right on both.
Grimal is known for darker leaves
The leaves should get bigger as the tree ages

Second one does look pitangatuba also

Good reasoning!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Yangmei Seed imports
« on: July 01, 2025, 10:31:34 AM »
Hello everyone,
I’ll be importing some Yangmei seeds
Does anyone want 1000 seeds? Price will be $225 including shipping to you
Germination rates vary, but with 1000 seeds, you will easily get over 100 plants
This is based off my germination rates last year even though I didn’t cold stratify or anything😭
No varietal name, but good to grow out and see
Thank you!

FWIW, Yangmei trees appear to be very prone to root rot. I have yet to own a grafted tree, but from what I can observe with yangmei seedlings it is quite intriguing to watch them respond to the moisture condition in the soil. Even in a large plant pot, I had seen a group of yangmei survive and thrive in one part of the pot while another group succumbed eventually to root rot at another site of the same plant pot. It was later realized that some areas of the plant pot tend to stay wetter for longer than other areas…
Funny thing is seedlings are actually ok with it
I had mine growing in a garden bed thats plastic…but I never opened the drainage hole for a month…
We got over 12 inches of rain in May the soil was consistently sopping wet

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Any idea on Mulchi (Plinia inflata) cold/pH tolerance?
« on: June 27, 2025, 10:50:19 PM »
It does not like freezes. Where they are native to is pure tropical.
Also want to keep ph pretty low
Mines been happy in promix
But it’s slow without being in its native area

I found this website that sells grafted trees.

https://www.hardtofindtrees.com/product/golden-mangosteen-%E9%87%91%E5%B1%B1%E7%AB%B9/
It’s from a guy in VA who is drop shipping direct from China.
It may be suspect to customs searches as it’s international
