The Tropical Fruit Forum

I have a few extra avocados if anyone wants a sample box.  Janet, Winn, John I have your boxes going out first.

I've got these varieties:

Sharwil,
Pinkerton,
Nabal,
Green Gold,
Hass,
Carmens,
Gwen

30$ for a box plus postage. 

This tree is really hard on itself.  It breaks branches and loads up so much fruit it's hard on the tree.  Too much of a good thing.

Is there any graft compatibility issues with regular large limes grafted on myer lemon tree?  The neighbors want some lime grafts on their lemon tree. 

Mix pack 75$ plus postage.  Only have 1 mix pack available.

6+ MD2, 1 white sugarloaf, 1 Josephine, 1 tropic gold, 1 mini crown(big fruit small top, smooth), 2 Maui pine(smooth cayane cross).

These are all smooth leaf and big fruit types and the MD2 are my own selected line that make really big fruits.  Extra sweet low acid, we just harvested 5 fruit and they were very sweet.

3 Scions for $10 plus $8.50 for postage.  Minimum order 9 pieces.

Heres a video of top working 2 year old in ground seedling tree.  Sorry it went pretty long but all the relevant info is in there.

Has anyone ever top worked lychee or longan? 

What happens when you stump a lychee?  Do they come back reliably?

My 8 year old made this video for your enjoyment

3$ each plus postage.

I got one of Quang Ong's "seedless" lychee trees a couple years ago.  Its not that big yet but it made a lot of fruit.  Some are fully seedless and some have large seeds.  Its pretty strange.  The fruit are big and look like emporers.  Ill post a pic later when I get the photos off another device.

Anyone in san diego area want to do one of these again?  Ive been extremely busy with house projects and homeschooled 1 kid through 1st grade this year.  Things are finally almost settling down and I have time to relax a bit if you guys want to have a get together we can make that happen.  Maybe early August?  Let me know if these enough interest.

My wife filmed and son edited this for me.  Sorry its in portrait mode, next time ill make sure to do landscape.  If people like these, I can do another one with different trees, this was just a few types.

Just had to rant about this...  Sorry in advance    I noticed theres so many overhyped avocado types.  I tried growing as many as possible and found most to be uninspiring.  Either the flavor is not there, or the tree has bad growth habits, or some other problem.  Many of these are hyped up by the UC breeding program or by the grounds keepers at the UC Irvine grove.  And some have just been around forever and for some reason people keep propogating them even though theres much better options 

My chainsaw has been getting a real workout lately.  Heres a short list of ones that have had a date with the chipper.
