I bought many seeds from Maryoto last year, came from DHL through Miami Usda and almost all the seeds came in very good condition. I had over 90% germination rates, they include durians, various artocarpus, baccaureas, even willughbeia sp. I had tried other sellers and got into 2 problems, first, their package(usually EMS post) comes through LA usda and that delays things for 2-3 weeks and by that time seeds either rot or dry out. Miami Usda calls me in 1-2 days of receiving the seeds. The second problem was use of too moist medium(vermiculite) so seeds rotted. I highly appreciate Maryoto’s technique of packing the seeds. Thank you.
If anyone would like to join in on this import - Let me know. we currently have 4 people looking to import. I would like to bring in 1 or 2 more people at the most.
Where is the tree located?
It's not in a very good location at all. It's against a wall in the southwest corner but it's surrounded by trees which shade at least 50% of it. It competes with a loquat right next to it. The soils never been amended. My parents I'm sure just dug a hole into the clay and up it came. I didn't know anything about growing anything 40 years ago. I grafted this tree in my greenhouse is Oklahoma but I'm probably going to cut it down because its almost taking over the greenhouse. I thought I could get fruit before this one would but I lost.
I bet you can find it in Florida. Ask every nursery that sells citrus trees. I got mine from Sam's a year ago.
Sam’s club?! Do you have pictures of your crop by chance?
This was pretty much my last resort.
@ Murahili I’m not getting my hopes up yet it seems the nurseries might all be cultivating tangor as you mentioned earlier it would be illegal in most cases to import it. But definitely worth a shot I didn’t even think of taking that route.thanks much guys
Yep, Sam's club had a bunch of citrus trees for sale in spring one year. Also, I recall seeing one at Lowe's ones.
I don't have a picture, sorry. The tree is still
young, it had 2 fruits for the first time last
year.
You can also call Excalibur nursery. I've heard they had them also.
Hello, here is a photo of my Langsat that is currently flowering here in South East Florida. Anyways, my questions to any of you that Langsats are the following:
Do Langsats produce fruits as single trees? This is the only flowering Langsat I have at the moment and I doubt anyone else has any near me.
Do these flowers look like Langsat, Duku, Long Kong, Kokosan, etc? I don’t exactly remember what type this tree is.
This is a seedling tree if that helps. Thank you!
Can we at least get a simple mobile friendly theme/view? That should not be difficult to accomplish would be my guess.. Thank you
Are any of the mangosteen, durian, willughbea, langsat trees still there?
Thanks Im in the works to source it from Jamaica.keep me in mind if your ever see them back in stock
I've seen it at Walter Anderson's in Poway. TBH, it's easy enough to make yourself. That's what I do.
I think it's something like:
~32.5% Peat Moss
~32.5% Sand
~5% charcoal
~15% pumice
~15% perlite
Just eye ball it. Then mix in Osmocote fertilizer.
Good luck, there are several Indian cultivars I'd love to bring in, but between getting the real mccoy from India and USDA's byzantine operation, chances are slim to none, to get much else over here.
