Wildlands Farm & Nursery: 'Pecan Pie' Scion, Lucuma, Cholul, Campomanesia & more

[nattyfroootz]

Howdy all.

Been a long winter of rain around here which has given me some time to travel, collect seeds, and grow out a ton of stuff for a big spring release. 
See below for the new inventory and if you are interested in reading a bit about my recent trip to Colombia, I posted up a sweet write up about the time there with a bunch of awesome high quality pictures. Check it out! Can't wait to do more posts like this.

Pouteria lucuma, 'Pecan Pie' Scion
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/pouteria-lucuma-pecan-pie-scions
This is a preorder intded to allow for the freshest scion to be harvested and shipped within 12 hours of clipping.  I am breaking up the pricing this time to allow for terminal wood at 15$ and non-terminal wood for 5$.  If you bought scion in the past and didn't have luck, please reach out for a discount code. 

Pouteria lucuma, Lucuma seedlings
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/pouteria-lucuma-lucuma
Lots of fresh Pouteria lucuma seedlings that are ready to be potted up amidst all the spring action.  They have been transplanted a couple of weeks ago and could probably be moved into 5g's if you are in a warm climate. Seeds from Portugal.

Pouteria viridis , Green Sapote seedlings
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/pouteria-viridis-green-sapote
Got a whole bunch of awesome Cholul seedlings from Guatemala. They are vigorous and have recently been potted up. They could use a little bit of time in a 1g or likely be popped into a 3g or 5g. 

Campomanesia lineatifolia, Paililo
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/campomanesia-lineatifolia-paililo
Seedlings from a a few trees (I was the only one to collect from multiple specimens). This tree is somewhat cold hardy and totally delicious. Think of a sweet lemonade fruit! Although, don't suck on the seeds too long because they have a serious spice!

Inga sp. 'Santa Cruz'
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/inga-sp-santa-cruz
A cold hardy and productive Inga. sp. that has been in santa cruz for quite some time.  The originally tree was planted by Axel and these are seedlings from the progeny of that tree. It's cold hardy as was seen this previous winter and delicious, was stoked to clean all the fruits (eat them) haha.

Eugenia involucrata (sp?) Orange
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/eugenia-sp-orange
Seedlings of my Eugenia sp. Orange from Marcos. This is from the 3rd round of fruiting that this plant has had and they are delicious! No cold damage just defoliation on the plant, a totally amazing specimen for zone pushers.

Plinia inflata, Mulchi
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/plinia-inflata-mulchi
Seedlings from this amazing tree pictured here.  Absolutely awesome tree with some pretty good fruits!

Myrica rubra, Yangmei
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/myrica-rubra-yangmei
A batch of seedlings from Calmei fruits. Growing fast and ready for a pot up!

Annona salzmannii, Beach Sugar Apple
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/annona-salzmannii-beach-sugar-apple
Seedlings from Florida grown fruit.  Really awesome for the opportunity to grow a plant that is being stablizied through domestication. Domesticated plants have been reported to grow better in controlled environments rather than wild collected species.

Rubus neomexicanus, New Mexico Raspberry
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/rubus-neomexicanus-new-mexico-raspberry
A delicious Raspberry collected by Brian Laufer.  Looking forward to trying this one and don't know a bunch about it!

Monstera deliciosa var. Borsigiana
https://www.wildlandsplants.com/shop/p/monstera-deliciosa-var-borsigiana
Want a screaming deal on this awesome variegated Monstera that is in perpetual high demand? Now's your opportunity to score one for a great price!

Thanks for the continued support all, looking forward to putting together a review of how the winter treated the orchard. Should have something maybe end of spring when things calm down a bit, busy time of year round here! Hope spring is treating everyone well.

Awesome!  What size are these?  Wasn’t really sure from the listings. 

[nattyfroootz]

All pouteria are in 1g and tall 4" pots for the rest of em. Pictures on the pages reflect average size of the plants!

Campomanesia lineatifolia, is it self pollinating?

Several sources state that it is a guava relative and most guava trees tend to self pollinate...

Don’t want to have to buy 10+ plants if 1 will suffice to produce fruits!🤣

[nattyfroootz]

Honestly not sure. The specimens we saw in the jungle were solitary as far as we saw but wouldn't be surprised if there were others around we didn't see. I think there's only one tree at fruit and spice in FL? Can anyone weigh in on that?

[Tropical Sunshine]

Thanks for the input!
I think it is one of those rather obscure plant from South America that may eventually find its way into main stream tropical gardens...
Take the abiu; It was barely heard of just a decade ago, and now it is becoming hugely popular in Southeast Asia, especially in Vietnam.
If it turns out to be self pollinating, then that characteristic could make it even more desirable, especially for folks with limited growing spaces. Self pollinating longan, lychee, guava, sugar apple, and starfruit are well accepted among the general population in Southeast Asia...

i've been looking for green sapote for a minute, super glad to see you offer it and especially excited that it's from a nice fruit from Guatemala!

My campo guazumifolia is self fruitful, my campo hirsuta seems not to be. I'd get two to be safe.

Thanks for the suggestion...Yeah it’s still a newly discovered species by non natives and seems no one is entirely sure on its reproductive method, so I think I’ll go with 3 or more plants once I decide to jump into the Campomanesia band wagon...😉🙂

Hi Nate, do you have thinner scions of the pecan pie that you’d be able to cut?

[palologrower]

looks like great selection. 

[nattyfroootz]

Hi Nate, do you have thinner scions of the pecan pie that you’d be able to cut?

Yep I could make that happen for you. How thin?

[nattyfroootz]

looks like great selection.

Thanks Lance! Stoked to be focusing a bit more.

Hey Nate,

If you ever have seeds available for anything that would work in Central Florida Zone 9b, let me know.

I normally try to buy in multiples of 21 because I use 21-count seed trays to start most of my tropical seeds.

Particularly interested in the Orange CORG.

Also, love your stickers! You have a fantastic artist I need that Jaboticaba sticker now.

[turtle_hermit]

Picked up some plants from Nate, everything looks great.
Great seller, highly recommend.

Hey Abirkett,

Thank you! She totally crushes it on botanical art and is an amazing tattoo artist as well!  I usually don't sell seeds but maybe one day when I have an abundance of fruit that outpaces my propagation capabilities, haha.  Hope you have a rad one!

Just received the Green Sapote this morning, it is looking green and healthy as can be.  Thanks!
