Tropical Fruit Discussion / Got to try a Golden Soursop!
« on: February 08, 2024, 10:19:12 PM »
I came across the opportunity to get one of these and couldn't pass it up-



I am happy to say that it was well worth it- this officially takes the spot of the top Annona I have eaten beating out Rollinia, Florida grown Lisa atemoya, mexican grown sugar apples and peruvian grown cherimoya

Perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, my wife who doesn't normally like Annona was even asking for more of this one





Great seed to flesh ratio and the seeds are even a bit soft



I recently decided to try to do one Annona in a pot and this will be it for sure

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Epigenetic cold tolerance in plants
« on: January 04, 2024, 03:41:53 PM »
Hey all-

So some of you will be aware we have had some nasty storms come through TX in the last 5 years that have brought some lows not seen for quite some time-

by choice or by necessity I have had to leave a lot of my collection exposed to the elements during these storms, particularly last year when I was physically in a different state when the storm hit-

I have been chronicling which of those plants have survived or even done well over in this thread-

https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=50267.0

but the question of whether or not some of these plants will ever produce here without a permanent greenhouse has still kind of haunted me.

I have noticed that since the initial selection many of these plants have undergone a few changes- namely a Change in growth habit and Seemingly increased cold tolerance

this got me thinking if there were mechanisms of adaptation in individual plants that can occur in response to a stress event like a freeze and (of course) there are plenty of studies demonstrating epigenetic induction of cold tolerance in annual and perennial plants.

I've provided a link for people who are interested below that is a summary of the studies in the field and a decent read

yet another reason to never throw away a plant  :P

Hey all,

I am trying to get better at grafting because despite my love for buying plants, I have limited space and would like to get different varieties of things rather than focus on production amount as this is not a commercial venture for me. Kaz and others on the forum have really inspired me with some of the multigrafted projects and I'd like to get one or a few Frankenstein Jabos going

I recently took advantage of some of the scions a forum member had on here and wanted to make a multigrafted tree out of the fruting escalarte I have-

I put-
Polpa roxa
Grimal
Coronata restinga
Red Hybrid
ESALQ

on there and basically used a cleft graft with the cut on the rootstock running parallel to the ground if the branch was growing sideways.

I wrapped all of the scions with parafilm, and then wrapped them again with tin foil because we were going through crazy heat and drought at the time of grafting, I wrapped the graft union once lightly with parafilm and then made a little "rope" wax tail to tighten down the union and promote healing.

After a month I removed the foil, nothing looked like it was pushing strongly and I kind of gave up on it.

I was debating if I just suck at grafting, if Escalarte is a bad rootstock (it has some characteristics like producing runners that seem to be different from most Plinia), or if the weather killed them and just left them on there because I am lazy-

I was wallowing in my failure when I saw this on the Coronata graft-



So I took a box cutter and checked the graft union on the other 4 and all of them seemed to heal except for the ESALQ, I'm going to wait to see what happens regardless but I wanted to see what peoples experiences were and if they thought the grafts would be good and that I am just being impatient

Hey all-

In my recent strolls I have found some Quercus macrocarpa trees and acorns are plentiful right now, 

Im definitely going to plant a few of these on my properties, they seem like a good staple food and the season is right after pecans (at least in Texas) which gives another good nut to forage into the fall

from https://temperate.theferns.info/plant/Quercus+macrocarpa
Quote
Seed - cooked. The light brown or grayish, ovoid-ellipsoid or oblong seed can be 15 - 50mm long and 10 - 40mm wide. The seed can be ground into a powder and used in making bread, dumplings etc and as a thickener in soups. The seed of this species is considered to be one of the most palatable of all the oaks. Many trees have sweet seeds with little tannin and the seed can be eaten raw or cooked.
In some species, especially many of those classified as 'white oaks', the seeds are low in tannins and have a more or less sweet and agreeable flavour. The seed of most species, however, have a very bitter flavour, due especially to the presence of tannins. In these species there are various processes that can remove or at least reduce the amount of these bitter substances (although other water-soluble substances, including some minerals, will also be removed).
Tannins are water-soluble and therefore the easiest way to remove or reduce tannin levels is by soaking in water. A few different methods are listed:-
A traditional method of preparing the seed was to bury it in boggy ground overwinter and allow the wet soil to gradually leach the tannins. The germinating seed was dug up in the spring when it would have lost most of its astringency and bitterness.
Another method was to wrap the seeds in a cloth bag and place them in a stream for several weeks.
Drying the seed and grinding it to a powder before soaking speeds up the process. The fastest method is to use hot water, by cooking the powder and changing the water several times until the cooking water is no longer bitter. Alternatively, you can use cold water (which is reported to produce the best quality flour). In this case, you soak the powdered seed in cold water for 12 - 24 hours then discard the water. Repeat this process for a number of times until the soak water is no longer bitter.

$10 for 4 acorns plus shipping, I'll float test them before I ship them to make sure they are viable also-

Here is a pic next to some "regular" acorns

Hey all-

I checked for previous posts on this and only found one asking about the compatibility here-

I recently grafted a few sticks from Bush2Beach onto a mature M. fragrans bush I have here and I am happy to report one of the scions is pushing-

We will see about long term compatibility but a good start!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / FS: Psidium sp. Araçá amarelo Seeds
« on: November 03, 2023, 07:43:43 PM »
Hey All-

I have some seeds from a nice little guava that is perfect for containers-

Officially it is called Psidium sp. Araçá amarelo but it could be called bubblegum cream guava because it tastes like a mexican cream guava with some bubblegum

I have 10 packs of 10 seeds for $10 a piece

Here are some pics from the mother tree, Its producing fruit in less than 3 years and with 1 plant











Cheers

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Psidiums from the Brazil Andres Pires Order
« on: October 24, 2023, 09:01:49 PM »
Hey all-

an exciting update-

in Jan of 2021 we received some seeds from forum member Andres Pires in Brazil and in particular some cool guava species

I got these
Psidium mirtoides
Psidium sp. Goiaba roxa
Psidium sp. Araçá amarelo

After some lost labels and a few years- one of the tree is producing fruit!















I am pretty sure it is the Psidium sp. Araçá amarelo due to the color of the fruit, but these dropped green and then ripened to yellow of the counter-

ripeness was assessed by smell (like all guavas) and me and NissanVersa tried the fruit today-

I think they are delicious and the seeds are not going to crack your teeth apart- similar in flavor to a mexican cream guava but superior-

Might sell some seeds soon

Cheers

Hey all,

I need to trim two of my lesser known, but awesome, fruit bushes and thought I would offer cuttings up to the forum

The first is

Rosa roxburghii  “Cili” “Sweet Chestnut Rose”
Stout shrub 4–8′ tall. Thorned branches, long pinnate leaves. 2″+ pale pink to purple-pink flowers, sweetly scented. Unusual orange-yellow fruit blushing red, globose to 1.5″+ and covered in small prickles. Native to southwest China. The fruit can be eaten fresh with a mild pineaple-like flavor. Traditionally made into a jam and wine, the dried fruit is brewed into a sweet tea that is said to strengthen all faculties and enhance longevity. The leaves are used as a green tea substitute. The fruit is rich in minerals, vitamin C and E, beneficial polyphenols, polysaccharides and SOD. Studies have shown the fruit is a strong antioxidant with anticancer potential, cardiovascular benefits and cognitive enhancement. Easy to grow, sun to part shade, rich, moist soil. We offer seed grown plants from strains selected for their darker fruit color and medicinal value. Z6a

More cold tolerant than a lot of the species on here, pretty flowers, good fruit, and medicinal leaves

Green yearling cuttings wrapped in parafilm (at least 3 nodes) - $5
Hardwood cuttings wrapped in parafilm - $12

And second-

Lycium andersonii  “Desert Goji/Wolfberry”
Solanaceae. Densley branched thorned shrub to 3–6’+.  Semi-succulent leaves. Yellow/lavender tubular flowers followed by small round edible berries. Seed from Baja. Drought deciduous. Heat, drought and sun tolerant. A good choice for the arid edible landscape. The berries are rich in beneficial phytonutrients. Z8

This has been a 0 care plant for me and produces really high quality, but small, goji berries- the best I have tasted and are good for eating fresh

Hardwood cuttings wrapped in parafilm - $6

I also have a very small amount of Red Veined Indonesian Mitragyna speciosa and one fruiting Escalarte jaboticaba branch that prices can eb worked out over PM of anyone is interested

Shipping added at the end

I'll post some pics later

Cheers

Hey All-

I have 4-5 well rooted Linda Pomegranate Cuttings for Sale

$20 per plant, discounts for multiple

Shipping for 1-2 plants $18

Here is a bit about the cultivar

This chance seedling is from the farm of Harvey Correia in Isleton. He grows various excellent cultivars of pomegranates, and he suspects that this tree is a seedling of one of them. The fruits are medium to large in size, very dark. The arils are very large and dark with soft seeds.  The seeds seem to be softer than Desertnyi's seeds. The flavor reminds me of Desertnyi, but a bit sweeter, like a cross with Vina. Overall, an excellent accession, and I am planning to make a tree for myself.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Eugenia with Long Germination Times
« on: April 19, 2023, 04:33:31 PM »
Hey All,

Eugenia's are obviously one of the most collected and sought after species on this forum. They are great for container culture, generally do not have a long juvenile period, and seeds readily germinate.

Because of how quickly and easily this genus usually germinates, if I dont see sprouts pretty quickly I usually assume they are bunk and move on.

Lately I have had 2 exceptions- I thought it might be good to track this, so people don't waste seeds or erroneously start beef

Eugenia klotzschiana - 1 year to show above surface
Eugenia stipitata - 5 Months to germinate after sowing in 100% vermiculite
Eugenia victoriana - 4 Months to germinate after sowing in 100% vermiculite

Myrciaria vexator - 5 Months

Anyone else see similar things with these or other species?

cheers

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Macroalgae -> Fertilizer Trials
« on: March 25, 2023, 03:13:22 PM »
Hey All-

I wanted to use this thread to document another hair brained idea- turning the excess macroalgae from my coral reef fish tank into a "seaweed" fertilizer. I do not recommend this for people to try- I am concerned about the salt levels and very likely will kill some plants before dialing this in, but currently this is a waste product for me that I would like to try to recycle back into my system rather than throwing away.

I have a 110 gallon reef that is a split style tank with the bottom functioning primarily as a refugium for said macroalgae and various invertebrates. Here is the main farming patch right now-







The known species are
  • Chaetomorpha spp.
  • Caulerpa spp.
  • Halymenea spp.

And there are a few unknown/hitchhiker species. In the long term I may incorporate asterina starfish and other pest aquatic species into the mix as well.

For now I only had an overgrowth of the Caulerpa and so I trimmed some, washed it, and have placed it in the sun to dry.



I will then powder it and apply in small quantities to test plants that I have a multitude of the species.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Any Info on Clavija euerganea?
« on: March 11, 2023, 11:21:26 PM »
Bought a seed in October of last year and it just sprouted-

I got the seed from tradewinds

An interesting rain forest tree, with bright orange, round fruits having orange pulp that looks like marmalade. The fruits grow to about an inch in diameter. Little information is available about this species. The fruits could be edible, as several other Clavija species have edible fruits, but care should always be taken with unknown fruits. Native to mid-elevation tropical forests in South America. Short, bushy growth to 6-12 ft / 3-4 m.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Aerogarden Aguaymanto (Physalis peruviana)
« on: March 05, 2023, 12:17:06 AM »
Hey All-

So I found an Aerogarden for cheap recently, and in the interest of upping my greens consumption I decided to buy it-

I noticed that people often grow tomatoes in these and since I had a bunch of extra aguaymanto sprouts I thought I would give it a shot-

Here are 2 of them-





Has anyone ever tried this before? any other interesting species to try in here?

Also anyone have any good greens recommendations other than arugula and mizuna?

Hey All-

I finally had a chance to go check things out in Texas and repair the irrigation system etc.

While I was heartbroken to see so many plants die I was glad that I had put the Tropical stuff down in key west, and given my Garcinia collection to NissanVersa who was able to take care of them.

What is probably of most interest to the zone pushers on here is what survived though!



Salpichroa origanifolia - "Cock’s Eggs” sourced from huertasurbanas

I'll be giving away one sprouted Asimina campechianus- I'll pay shipping as well

from Raul's description-

Quote
I got some seeds of this Paw paw tropical relative wonder if can be used toward Asimina triloba for creating a tropical Paw paw, I was told Sapranthus fruit is good eating sweet fruit.

The person with the closest guess to the time and date to when I make my 1000th post will win- an example entry would be

2/7 4:15pm


I am (with this post) at 969 posts which makes me 31 posts away from 1000 and I (apparently) make roughly 1 post a day for those who want to try to gauge it.
