Tropical Fruit Discussion / passion fruit flowering and fruit help request
« on: November 08, 2024, 10:53:34 PM »
Hello everyone :)
I have a Fredrick Passion fruit that had a bunch of flowers. It has set 1 fruit previously.  I hand pollinated many flowers, but 0 set fruit.  Is there a specific way they need pollinated or is it better to use a different variety for that or?   If so, which variety do you recommend?

I also have a passion fruit 3-4 years old (probably also Fredrick) fertilized, but 0 blooms.  What causes them to bloom?


Thank you very much for your time and help in advance

Tropical Fruit Discussion / what is everyone's top 5 things worth growing?
« on: September 04, 2024, 03:47:37 AM »
I'm in the process of writing a book about things worth growing.  What are your top 5 varieties worth growing and why?  Does a specific variety taste better home grown so it can be tree ripened?  Does it have specific health benefits, is it just better tasting than normally available varieties?  I'm looking for specific varieties. 

Example: red Pakistan mulberries, very tasty, easy to grow in the right area, easy to pick, expensive and/,or impossible to buy

 Any pictures I could publish would also be greatly appreciated. Business names can be added if you sell seeds or plants. 

If someone sells a large selection of something, say pomegranates, and was willing to work with me, I can do pictures and fruit descriptions for use on a website as long as I could still use them for a book.  I'm happy to pay shipping for the fruit s I can review it first hand for the book and on YouTube.   
 
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / several tropical seedlings for trade in SLO county California
« on: November 08, 2022, 09:25:36 PM »
I started a bunch of random seedlings this year that I would love to trade, or re-home to someone interested in them.  Trading I love pretty much everything, but I'm looking for pomegranate scion, prickly pear pads from known tasted cultivars, any vegetable or fruit seeds etc..

I have the following seedlings started this year for local pickup:
jack fruit
black sapote
cherimoya
star apple
unknown citrus (probably citron, white grapefruit or sweet lime)
white sapote

Temperate Fruit Buy, Sell, & Trade / Searching for pomegranate collection
« on: November 08, 2022, 09:21:27 PM »
I would like to add a large variety of pomegranates to my collection.  Is there anyone that happens to have a large collection I could buy scions from, or trade for tropical fruit seedlings?  San Luis Obispo County, California is preferred, but not required.
