« on: May 16, 2023, 01:18:46 PM »
The avocados took 12-18 months to grow and mature. So, what is the sense of frost hardy plant?

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Moro vs. Tarocco vs. Amoa 8 vs. Fragola
« on: January 21, 2023, 01:30:37 PM »Thanks Radoslav, is the flavor intensity about the same?
Taste of Tarocco is more complex and, taste of Amoa degrades very quickly, so there is short time when taste is very good.

In my subtropical greenhouse avocado is ripe next year, so I think there is no chance to get fruits from tree, in area where is - 6C during winter, no matter how hardy is the tree itself.

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: Can asian, non-astrigent persimmons be grafted on American persimmon?
« on: November 30, 2022, 02:00:08 AM »
Diospyros lotus is compatible with all astrigent D.kaki and with non-astringent D.kaki -JIRO, but generally speaking D.lotus is incompatible with pcna type kaki. The incompatibility can be overcome by using an astringent type kaki as interstock.

Citrus Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Looking for Japanese Acid Citrus [EU]
« on: October 30, 2022, 11:10:58 AM »I used to have a kabosu plant from a seed that came from a fruit bought in France, but it died while I was on vacation a few years ago.
I still have a sudachi, also grown from seed at the same time, in 2015.
It has never fruited yet but it stays outside all winter here in Antwerp (in a rather sheltered location though). If you're interested I can send you cuttings (tell me how to do it thought because I've never sent live plants through the post) or you can drop by if you're ever close to Antwerp.
That's too bad. Adavo still has some small kabosu plants left, which I might buy.
I already have a sudachi, but I would love to get some budwood
There was discussion at french https://www.agrumes-passion.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1622&start=60
that
kabosu from Adavo may originated from Riera nursery and can contain tristeza.

My more than 10 years old Nam Nam plant developed flowers for the first time. It sets flower buds several times in the past, but they dried off.
This can be the first time cynometra flowers in Slovakia at all.

Unknown fruiting plant,
fruit yellow when ripe, hairy, five seeds,
Looks like it forms male and female plants, on male plants flowers in clusters, but female plant able to form individual fruits without pollen from male plant, leaves with 3 leaflets, like pouteria which has 5.

Citrus General Discussion / Pomelo hybrid from Medici citrus collection
« on: January 01, 2022, 09:15:21 AM »
Finally ripe fruit of C. grandis x C. paradisi called “Piriforme”. Plant I bought from Tintori nursery years ago.
This pomelo hybrid belongs to the Medici citrus collection that was started by Cosimo I between 1554 and 1568 and reached its height under Cosimo III.
The fruit has thick rind that turns yellow when fully ripe. The thick pith is not edible and the flesh tastes like mix of pomelo and grapefruit, its a bit sour, but edible. Mostly for ornamental purpose.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Soursop fruiting in living room.
« on: December 31, 2021, 10:04:48 AM »
This year showed me, how tricky the right time to harvest is. Right now, I collected my one and only fruit from my annona in living room and this time I collected it while still partly hard on touch.
And it was a mistake, pulp is not as tender as ussual, slightly sour and the taste is full of that bleach chlorine odour typical for muricata flowers.
But it looks like taste is improving while I let the harvested fruit rest in room for 24 hours.
