The Tropical Fruit Forum

Wondering if anyone has had success with E. Beaurepairana. I have an almost 3 year old seedling. It grows, but always looks like hell - yellowing leaves, some die back, some brown spots. I have tried heavy water, no water, part sun, filtered sun, shade, fert and no fert over the past couple years (maybe that's why it's so ugly?? LOL  . Just can't get it to look like a responsible juvenile. Not a lot of info on it, so I have no idea about its preferences. Pictures below:





On another note, I have a couple small Solanum Sibundoyense seedlings. As a solanum species I was tempted to replant the seedling deeper in the soil (like you do with tomato plants to develop stronger roots). but it appears the plant may have a relatively "true" trunk as it matures. Thoughts? Anyone growing these successfully with some advice? Thanks in advance!

This Blue Grape, Myrciaria vexator is now 12 years old, fruiting for the last 3 years. Got it as a small plant from Adam S. of Flying Fox Fruits back when he was still in growing everything in pots back in Winter Park!

It is fruiting and flowering now in a 15 gallon pot. It is about 4.5 ft tall. This is for local pickup only in Southwest Ranches: $350









Also have a couple M. Glazioviana (yellow jaboticaba) in 5 gallon pots. These are about 3 years old and not flowering/fruiting. $40 each

The following is a garcina collection of dubious identification. These seedlings were marked until several pots spilled over and now I am not 100% sure which is what. read the descriptions carefully an then take your bets! Either way they are all guaranteed to be either g. intermedia, g. brasilensis, g. acuminata, or g. humilis.

I am 90% certain that this DOUBLE pot (two plants in one container) is achacha (g. humilis) One plant is about 9" the other "6 $20



I am 90% certain that this double pot (two plants in one container) is either g. brasilensis (improved lemon drop mangosteen) or g. intermedia (lemon drop mangosteen). There is a slight chance that it is achacha. Plants are small, about 4-5" $15



I am almost 100% certain that this is garcinia acuminata (bumpy madrono) from my mother tree. It is about 6" tall. $10

So this fell from my tree this morning. Was so high up in the canopy I didn't notice it until it dropped. So far I'm afraid to open it in case a hatchling xenomorph is still forming inside. I'll wait for backup when my wife gets home.

Anyone seen this happen before? Siamese twin mango fruit?

South Florida members:

Looking for a few good folks to go in on a combined shipping order.
I received the following email from Linda Nickerson regarding her variety of the Thompson s-8

“We can ship Sugar Dragon cuttings to Florida, but since I cut fairly large cuttings, they must go in a large, flat rate box, $25 for shipping and handling.  The cuttings are only $8 each, and I can get 15 - 20 per box, so it would be best if you could find someone to go in on some cuttings with you.  We have another variety that is delicious that you can't get anywhere else called Maria Rosa.  It is a pale pink, large, very sweet, and hardier than Delight., that you might be interested in.  We think Sugar Dragon is the only self fertile magenta-fleshed variety available on the market right now.”

So I’m thinking if we get at least 10 or more orders we can get these for about $10-$12 a cutting, shipped. I’m happy to make my home the pickup spot. I live in SW Ranches (just west of I-75 in central Broward).

 If you are interested, Pm me directly
