The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hi,
This year my tree did not make flowers...it seems to be on a downward spiral.  I think the tree is going to die.  Maybe neighbor trees are too close?  Not getting enough sun? 

Micah.  Any updates on this one?  I'm about to plant two keledang seedlings in my yard (from you and Chris).  Wondering how yours turned out and any advice I might need

Hi
Can you tell about his fruit a bit please. I've never heard of it.

Aloha, my ones never sprouted.  They still are hard and look viable...
Any chance of getting more fresh oness for sale?

Aloha
please pm me

Haha
Making out with flowers!
It feels pretty natural to do...a couple of swirly motions of the tongue and I got my little sugar pollen boost along with maybe more fruit set. Maybe my DNA tells flower what I need in fruit.
Achachairu flowers are sweet...not like they need help with pollination.
Has anyone else ever experienced? Make me feel like a big bee or bat maybe...or a weird perv
I imagine with a big mustache and beard you would be the ultimate flower kisser/pollen holder...isn't  that what Hairs on pollinators are for?
Any thoughts?

Nice photos!
Is the skin eaten too?
Would this campomanesia fruit in a pot?

I would imagine that they could flower in a 15gal. Pot.  You are going to need more than one flowering to get fruit.  I have two groups of four each.  There's only one female in one group and two in the other.  The other project I know of here with cherapu in production also has experienced a lot of male seedlings.

I have same experience with more males than female plants.
Like mangosteen you can get cherapu to fruit in a pot. But ti's much easier when in the ground, especially if you want to get good quantities of fruits.

argh. i'm running up against space constraints.  but will keep this in mind. 

Look like I got lucky.  trees 1 male and 3 female.  The taller one from the start became the male.  Not sure if it just happened to be taller or it could be a trait? Like herb plants...I've heard

Aloha
I've only tried one flying saucer fruit ... C phaea I think. Wondering which ones are in the top 5 for flavor. There are sooo many sp of them. 

 

Aloha Lance
The graveolens from you made it..because I learned from an earlier rat attack to protect em.
A little while ago friend sent me some thick fleshed tasty graveolens seed..sadly they all got swiped.
Live and learn!

Of course those I'ole love durian seed especially the stinky relatives.  Durio graveolens didn't last long in the nursery. 
With rare seed nowadays I flip another planting tray on top of the planted seed tray and weight it down with something heavy like a few rocks.

the graveolens didn't make it!?!?!! s wah.  that sucks.

Pm sent!

Aloha
Sechium ticaco it is. Thanks

For the papaya relative ...in my opinion it has only kind of a gummy bear texture when you pop the glob into mouth.  More slimy than firm. The seed like papaya are bigger and spicy , swallowed not bitten.  The pulp is tasty slight sweetfruity. Fruit fall off tree when ripe

Wow!
How big are the fruits?
How about the ratio of fruit/seed
Thanks
