Thanks Adam, I'm looking forward to tasting this fruit for the first time. Lets see if it lives up to all the hype. So far Grumichama and the Red Jabs are to my liking. The Cherry of the Rio Grande has so far fallen short on the taste and flavor department. The birds beat me to all the SRG on the tree and left me with just a scrawny one.
Cherry o rio is quite variable like most eugenias...and I have two cultivars that are grafted, and supposed to be superior...the same grafting technique I showed you yesterday can easily be employed to propagate cherry o rio....so when mine have fruits, I will make sure you get to taste some, and then take some bud wood if want...but because these are precious to me and hard to come by it will cost you!!!! .....absolutely nothing!
Just give me your opinion about the fruit!!
You know I can't have everyone learning my secrets and getting all of my rare budwood that I worked so hard to obtain, for FREE!...I need cash for every branch, seed, and fruit that leaves my property...or else I'll lose my whole life's work, and I won't be special anymore...and everyone will start grafting my same special trees...and I won't be able to compete.
But really, you know how old Asaffron feels (of course everyone has secrets they just can't share)....BUT, "CARING IS SHARING"....and if you put a little love in your heart, the world will be a better place, for you ...and me...just wait and see.
When I think of my fellow man, I wish everyone was grafting as much as me, enduser, behlgarden, nullzero, cookiemonster, guanabanus, Ed, Ethan, Ohiojay, and many other grafters I've noticed on the forum (God bless your important work).
It seems that if we lent more people a helping hand (unabridged and unconditionally), they might know how to most effectively and successfully graft (propagate). As a result, we'd have access to many more nice fruit trees I bet...and more varieties worth keeping would possibly be preserved, or available cheaper and more readily.
so when it comes to sharing info about plants (propagation, cultivation, etc), I do unto others as I'd have them to me...You see the grafting season is getting late, so please don't hesitate....and Jackie DeShannon says it best.
