Yes, thanks "G" for coming down and doing the video, the last one I did was 8 years ago. A lot has actually changed on my property. I'll do a little update. We've got Pawpaws, jackfruit, chico, lychee, canistel, grapes, pomegranates, blackberries and bananas ripening now. Also the anonnas are all setting fruit.

Down here in Chula Vista the rain was fine. Just the wind came up on Sunday and it broke several limbs on my airlayered wax jambus and also a couple of large limbs broke on my Pitomba tree. Surprisingly none of my Pawpaw fruit got blown off, although i did lose some almost ripened lychees.

I grow and fruit Pawpaw and Cherimoya next to each other here in San Diego. We only get about 70 chill hours. I fertilize with a super bloom and hand pollinate, except for "Sunflower" that will set fruit on it's own.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Has anyone ever gotten a lychee seedling that fruited quickly?
« on: July 13, 2023, 09:06:58 AM »
I have a seedless lychee from a tree in Fallbrook that is flowering now. The seed was planted in 2016. The tree is about 5 feet tall and pretty skinny.

This is the Mary Ln. variety I found a few years ago in an empty field. Many of you have started grafting them. This is a smaller size fruit, but the taste is like a Carmel Pawpaw, very smooth, no bitterness.

No,

Concha Lisa is one of the best cherimoyas I have growing. Lisa is a mediocre Atemoya.

I got three of these named Coronata #1, #2 & #3 when I was in Florida a few years ago from Adam.

Does anyone know what this one could be?

Thanks,

« on: June 18, 2023, 07:17:37 PM »
It does ok at my place, but would do better in a warmer area. I'm close to the coast and don't get a lot of production. So if you are inland you should get good results. I don't have problems with powdery mildew also.

Thanks,

Mark

Is anyone (besides Champas) selling mango scions right now? I would love to buy some, especially from Cali folks.

James

James, I have plenty of varieties I'm going to list for the California people, and others that are still grafting. I'll put a list up soon.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Any success growing Spanish limes (Mamoncillo, Genip) in San Diego?
« on: May 28, 2023, 07:24:52 PM »
There is a mature one at the "Quail" SD Botanical gardens that always looks good. I've never seen fruit since most varieties need a male and female. I think the "Montgomery" variety is self fertile.

@mark your tree in the pick is pruned to 8 ft and fruiting?  good size!

Yes, Lance

I have pruned the tree a few times, and the tree keeps producing. The only problem is if they set late in the summer then the fruit won't mature because of the cold.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Callous on Longan airlayers
« on: May 18, 2023, 09:03:09 PM »
I'm checking in the group to see how people have dealt with big callous's on the airlayers. Someone helped me airlayer some longans, but they left some of the cambium "green" parts and they calloused over, there is still enough good roots in the rest of the rootball. I'm wondering would you cut the callous parts off or just plant it into the soil?

Thanks.

Mark

Like the title says I'd love to buy some passionfruit plants or green cuttings. Thanks in advanced. I'm interested in any and all varieties.

I have some Frederick purple passion fruit vines if you still need any. Thanks
