All those damn "scientists" and their worthless "PhDs"!  Just trying to make money by scamming us.  Why don't they get real jobs? 

Some of those smartass PHD's are now telling us that climate change is racist. There's no end to the bullshit flowing from academia these days regarding climate change.

It's really about protecting their jobs, keeping the government funding coming in, to fund those paychecks. Tell them what they want to hear. Wonderful arrangement.

Oh, there's much more to it than that but for the sake of this discussion I'll skip it. 

When I was a child it was the ozone layer.

For my parents they were told we were headed for an ice age.

Lots of theories but they keep changing the message.

No doubt the climate will change it always has, but we are still basically idiots when it comes to predicting anything.

The people invested in Green Tech seem have tons to lose if people arent on message.

Similar to what we just went through with big pharma.

I am going with the Lakers.

My white sapotes had tons of issues dealing with full sun.

Once I gave them some shade they took off.

I was getting discouraged the past year.

Thanks again for this deal!

That was my experience with dream on sugar apple this year.

No problems with dream on cherimoya root stocks. 

Get both, I did.

P22 seems to be a Zinc copy.

Amazing mango for sure.

Yeah I wish I had an answer John.

Nothing I have really grows like Sugarloaf and I myself would love to find something to add to it.

So.. what's it like there now?  I'm flying down there in a couple days :-/

Wet.

Paul Nison changes his mind about plants as much as the wind changes direction.

I know what you're saying.  I don't take anything he says as "Bible truth."  He wants to be an authority on the subject of fruit trees, but the information he presents is always very subjective (including constant mispronunciations).  His heart is in the right place.  The good news: he features Alex Salazar a lot, a true authority who is a really smart and experienced grower, providing accurate and useful information.

Totally agree with everything here.

I also have Maria Black and still waiting for fruit, its only been in the ground for a year from a 7 gallon. Its growing compact thats for sure.

Viejo will be much easier to find.

Ive never seen Flores anywhere in south Florida.

The variety flavor sounds amazing, just wish I knew more.

Cant wait to see what kind of results this produces at different locations.

Is this a seedling, or graft?

What variety?

What is the weather like in your area?
