Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Looking for HAWAIIAN AVOCADOS SCIONS?
« on: October 21, 2021, 02:26:50 PM »
Fujikawa sounds like a winner down here! I am very interested once you can spare some scions and willing to pay.
 I am off of facebook but still have messenger.  I decided to take a hiatus while going through a process with the VA.

Thanks Brad.  I am very interested in Fujikawa.  I have a Nishikawa grafted onto my Hass and it has really taken off in one year.  Are you still on messenger?

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Looking for HAWAIIAN AVOCADOS SCIONS?
« on: October 09, 2021, 12:54:57 PM »
I would like to purchase some Hawaiian variety avocado scions such as Kahalu'u, Greengold, Nishikawa, Sharwil etc.  I have these varieties but my trees are very small and most are not fruiting. I would like to share them with my FB group members as well.  I plan to do Fall and Spring purchases .  Please inbox me or reply if anyone has these for sell.  Thanks

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: For Sale: Loquat Cuttings
« on: October 09, 2021, 12:49:10 PM »
I graft loquat year round as well.  Not for inexperienced grafters though.  Everything you said is spot on!  No need to use such larger scions.  2 to 3 buds is plenty.  Its so honest of you as a seller to let your buyers know that.  I do the same when selling scions and I also add extra.  I would like to buy from you this spring.  I have a Big Jim with 3 China Doll grafts on it.  I would like to add more

Temperate Fruit Buy, Sell, & Trade / Royall Lee and Minnie Royal scions?
« on: April 02, 2018, 06:25:08 PM »
I have had plenty of cherry grafts take this year, a few even flowering (Bing, Ranier, Lapins, Stella, Utah Giant, and Heirloon Pie) but only 2 or 3 of these varieties are known to produce fruit in San Diego County with our limited chill hours. 
Anyone have Royal Lee or Minnie Royal scions for sale?  Or a dwarf rootstock tree of either kind for sale?

I was thinking 3 to 5 gallon.  Would you go smaller?

 About 50% of the grafts are pushing.  I learned a grafting hack about 2 weeks after that were far more successful for me.  Adding a wet paper towel inside the clear plastic bag that I cover the graft with.

I tried City Farmers but they looked like they never heard of it.  I'll look into ONG.  Where is ONG located?

Anyone know where I can find a Barbados Cherry tree in San Diego County?  The bigger the better, as I am not patient enough to wait 5 years for fruit.  Exotica in Vista does not have them at the moment and the plants on eBay are rather small.

Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Reed Avocado tree Weeping?
« on: February 16, 2018, 09:57:10 PM »
It has been staked on 2 sides all along and it's wanted to slump over.  It still produced EXCELLENT fruit last year and has seven this year.  I was wondering if tying the branches to a trellis won't help the stem get more sunlight/energy.  I admit that I got that idea from a YouTube video

Thanks for replying and to Greg, I understand the weeping branches holding fruit but I was concerned because the entire tree weeps i.e. the center stem and branches with no hanging fruit.

I think I will try the 2x4 or trellis solutions

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Reed Avocado tree Weeping?
« on: February 14, 2018, 08:00:04 PM »
Does anyone else's have a Reed Avocado tree that weeps badly?  My Reed was purchased as a 15 gallon 1 year ago.  It has 7 avocados on it and other than being slumped over it looks really healthy. I saw a video where a guy supports his weeping varieties on a trellis.  I will post a picture when I get home later.

« on: February 11, 2018, 08:46:05 PM »
I am looking for various types of Apple budwood to graft onto a mature Apple tree in my backyard.  We don't know or care for this variety however, it is a prolific producer on a well established rootstock.  I have Hass Avocado scions for trade or I can pay.  Please message me as I would like to graft ASAP.

Thanks

I want to try grafting various avaocado varieties onto my existing trees.  I have  Hass, Bacon, Fuerte, and Reed already.  I'm interested in Pinkerton, Lamb Hass, Naval, and others.  I could trade but I prefer a trade as most of my trees are 15 Gallon. Except 1 24+ gallon Hass which has produced 100's last year. Please text Will at 619-398-6005
