Tropical Fruit Discussion / Borneo - Durian season questions
« on: December 11, 2022, 07:17:37 PM »
Is July peak season for durian in Borneo?

Where are the best towns/cities to go fruit hunting? The more off the beaten trail the better!

I was thinking of doing a trip to Brazil to taste some of these elusive Cerrado fruits first hand. Anyone know when is the best time of year to go and which town one might want to start such an adventure?

Cheers!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Recommendations for Sugar Cane Juicer
« on: August 21, 2022, 11:18:58 PM »
Looking for recommendations for a motorized sugar cane juicer.

There doesn't seem to be too much information out there. It looks like most people are selling one of 2-3 main types of the same machine. I just want something that'll work on small scale and doesn't require me peeling or splitting the cane (way too much work). My plan is to just scrub/wash the whole  cane and then juice, keep things simple.

Anyone try David's cane machines?

Cheers!

I've tried twice to root cuttings and last time I tried grafting, but alas none of my adventures have been fruitful.

I am sure this has been asked at ignosium already, but always a good idea to plug into the hive mind.

What is everyone's mango recommendation for Broward County area
- Southwest Ranches
- soil: mixture of fill and muck
- high humditity and rain in the summer time
- occasional flooding.

Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Setting up shade house for fruit seedlings
« on: March 22, 2022, 11:38:06 PM »
I am setting up a shade house with new irrigation, primary use for fruit tree seedlings in small 1 gallon and seedling trays. Shade house aprox 80 x 30 feet.

My plan is use plastic pallets sitting on top concrete blocks, as this seem easier and cheaper than building nursery tops out of hardwire mesh and pressure treated lumber, and way cheaper than buying steel nursery tables

As for irrigation, I'm not sure if overhead sprinkler heads or misters are better? Drip irrigation sounds like too much of a pain, considering there'll probably be a 1000+ plants at some point.

Do you think it's okay to forgo a plastic film on top of shade house in addition to shade cloth?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Rollinia Varieties
« on: January 26, 2021, 02:06:34 PM »
I would like to start collecting, reproducing Rollinia varieties. So far my plants here in South Florida have done quite well, no fruit yet but all are quite young still. I have a variety from Fruit Scapes labeled "Jungle" and some random seedlings grown from seeds from Hawaii.

Anyone have any interesting seeds/scions they'd be willing to trade or sell?

Thanks!!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Reverse osmosis water
« on: May 22, 2020, 02:23:15 PM »
I live in an apartment, and currently using city water for all my plants. This was going fine until I got into jaboticabas and other more interesting fruit trees. Starting to notice more browning leaf tips, which I think could be combination with too much water retention in my soil mix and possible poor water quality.

Anyone have experience with using reverse osmosis water on their plants? Do you add any minerals back to it before watering?

« on: May 21, 2020, 05:08:28 PM »
Anyone here have experience with growing Lakoocha? Fruit and spice park has a decent size tree, but I've noticed most the fruits fail to form completely? Maybe a pollination issue?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / USDA Aphis Small Lot Seeds Permit
« on: May 13, 2020, 03:54:34 PM »
Anyone here have experience using and applying for USDA Aphis Small Lot Seeds Permit.

I just applied online, seemed fairly simple, just not sure what logistics are.

How long does it take for application to be accepted?

Do they need actually species name for each permit? Seems like for each permit the drop down menu list just Genus (Plinia spp, Annona spp, etc)

Does the exporter only need to include copy of permit?

Many Thanks!!!

Has anyone been successful in fruiting durian in Florida? I have seen a few decent size trees at Fairchild tropical gardens, but never seen any fruit. I don't know of any other durian trees here in Florida.
