The Tropical Fruit Forum

I'm near By brandenton today. I emailed Wayne on Tuesday haven't heard back yet.
Does his place have any normal hours? Or is it by appointment appointment only?

If he has a number I can call PM please.
Thanks

Adam,
Thanks for the package everything arrived intact.



The cambium layer on the scions looked more brown then green. Maybe light brown.
I removed the bottom inch to get to fresher piece, they are both grafted onto a healthy potted gefner now. Hopefully it works out.
I forgot to take a pic though

i guess i should've read it better.
I thought this was a poll of which fruit were better to use in culinary arts (making food) as opposed to just eating fresh.

I don't think either of those two or for sale yet.
You might be able to get budwood from Honey Kiss.

I have some family in Lakeland and I'm over due for a visit. I plan on goin there maybe in March-April for a weekend.
So if you still need the trees then I can bring up a few. Don't know how many I can fit though.
If you have access to a dream atemoya tree, that would be great because it will save me an hour drive.

+1

Thanks.
I'll probably do a veneer then.
Lets hope this works

So i getting a few 47-18 scions (thanks Adam) to graft onto an in ground gefner.

This post seems the most relevant to the subject and since it already has a wealth of info on it i though i might as well post my question here.

My question is about the grafting method. Would a cleft be fine?

Here is a pick of the tree:


Its pushed new growth from late Dec but slowed down recently (I assume because of the cold).

I wanted to remove the lower most branch, But the second branch up (to the right of the green nursery tape) seems like a good candidate for a cleft.
What do you think?

Any suggestion would be helpful

Thanks

Phoenix? Any info on it other than it being good.
Jeez so many mangos so little yard space

I might be in the minority here but i tried Pickering last season (only from one source) and wasn't too impressed.
It had a deep flavor that didn't sit well with me. I still enjoyed it but not as much as say Bailey's Marvel or OS.

I hope i'm wrong and it is something i did. When mango season come rolling back in I may have to bother some of you for a tasting.

Can anyone (after some first hand experience) recommend a Mammea variety for south Florida? I have a protected area near in between my house and my neighbors house that seems good for it
Redlands and Kay Sweeney is what fairchild recommends now but i can't seem to find good info on the fruits especially seed to flesh ratio.
I saw Oscar has the Waimanalo dwarf, any growing it here?

Or should i wait a few years until a better variety is selected?

Didn't want to make a new thread for this.

So I "found" a spot in my front yard. Southwest side.  I'm considering putting a tree there and I've basically giving up on lychee. The spot is 15 ft away from a mango and 15ft away from a Jackfruit. I plan on keeping both on check with pruning. Do you think this will be enough space for a biew kiew or chompoo.

There a good bit of info on coconut cream on the forum. Rob (bsbullie) did a nice write up breaking down the newer varieties in terms of production. From what I remember coconut cream isn't a great producer. Probably good enough for the backyard grower.
