Really nice coloring.  Is it pink flesh on the inside?

I tasted some freshly picked cinnamon apple in the Fruit and Spice park, Miami area a couple years ago.  Delicious fruit, to me it had a sweet bread taste, almost like eating a plain donut.

I'm late to this party, but would be interested in a Ruby red Longan scion if another becomes available. Thanks! Benjamin Johnson

No, I don't have more seeds. That was almost 3 years ago.

Ok, I will pile on with the discussion and share a picture of my 2 year old Olosapos to keep this thread alive in hopes of someone chiming in saying I have mature budwood of a good quality fruit available.

I'm following this post because I also have a few 2.5 year old olosapos to graft over.

Anyone have some previously fruited Cambuca jaboticaba (plinia edulis) scion wood in the 1/4-3/8 inch range? Also looking for some Achacha or other Garcinia budwood.  Also just remembered I have some canistel rootstock that I need to graft.

Sorry for the late response.  Any Grimal branches left?

Hey Vincent, is Painter's Roliinia easier to set fruit?  I have a 5 year old rolliinia seedling that keeps flowering, but hasn't set one fruit yet.  I'm mystified how to hand pollinate it, too.

I've heard that it's allowed to ship certified disease free budwood into AZ from the CCPP, but I'm not 100% certain.  Just an idea.

Did you leave out Surinam Cherries?  (Uniflora)  I haven't had the chance to try a lot of Eugenia fruits yet; most of my plants are still too small; but I had the chance to eat some surinam cherries in Maui last summer and they were really good.  Cedar Bay cherries were great, too.  (Reinwardtiana)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Loquat on Provence Quince?
« on: January 13, 2024, 09:33:28 PM »
Anyone ever graft loquat onto provence quince rootstock? What was your experience? Scion and rootstock are highly compatible? Works well together as a tree?

14
Anyone used these as rootstock for other garcinias?

15
I don't have White Sapote, but I have Plenty of Inga Spectalabis fruit and red rover Passion fruit if you are near the LAX area in El Segundo. Free feel to DM me if you would like a tour. I am a middle school science teacher and off for the Holidays.

Raindance seeds has white sapote fruit for sell, but he is in San Diego.

Sure! Would love to visit you. Sending dm

The plant hasn't been doing too well, unfortunately. Not sure if it's still alive or not.

17
Anyone have some available? I fly home tomorrow, on Wednesday afternoon (12/27) and would love to bring some home. Open to other fruit, too.

Anyone selling 3-4 mature cambuca scions in the next few months? I have some cambuca rootstock I want to try grafting over. Need 1/8-1/4 inch (pencil size).

For anyone that wants an excellent tasting guava, I suggest you get some scions from Kevin now.
ty, and they say it is one of the best tasting guavas they grow. I'm still trying to get more than one graft going so I purchased more when I saw Kevin's post here.

Hi Kaz. What kind of graft are you finding to have the highest sucess rate with common guavas?

I wonder if there's different varieties of Guaybiju; the foliage on mine seems to look a bit different than yours. It flowered once last year, but no fruit.

I'm growing this semi-tropical and some fully tropical stuff in Washington state, which sounds weird. But I help it survive the winter with my greenhouse.

Cuttings are rooting well in coconut husk. Here's a short video update. Thanks Kaz!
