Thanks all for your orders, want to ask for your patience, my elderly mom is very ill in the hospital since last week, doctor said is few hope and any day this week she probably go to rest, she is three hours driving from my place, I'm staying with her this last days, so probably I'll start shipping orders again late this week and continue on Monday again through the next week when I trust to fulfill all orders thanks for your patience.
Morir soņando are definitely gone, Mango i believe i can get more seeds as there was still fruit on the tree in the jungle but I'll let you know next week when I have to chance to go and pick them, thanks for your patience.

Raul my condolences, spend what precious time you have left with her. She will be at peace and at a warm loving place.

How large does you Austurkey fruits get, any photos?

Austurkey gets large. Its like 2 thai everbearing fruit clump together on the largest ones. Austurkey has a great sweet and sour flavor. Austurkey and Chiang mai 60 have great flavor above the average mulberry. Thai everbearing is amazing producer but would rank the fruit as average in flavor.

Chiang mai is one of my favorite tasting. Skinner and Taiwanese long have similar flavors sweet grape. Exotica pakastani has a good grape flavor with a slight tang. I think Skinner is better tasting. DM09 I need to try more fruits the critters keep eating then all.

I also have black prince, ispahan, Australian green, white shahtoot, maui, Lakeland tropical, Janes best, Exotica Himalayan. Australian green is like a superior selection of white shahtoot.

Chiang mai 60

Austurkey

I grew tamarillo red variety in past, was like a bitter sour tomato. I didn't give up, I tried again the orange peach variety, when ripe it's like a sweet guava with slight tomato tang, like eating it out of hand will keep it in the collection.

If your keeping in a plastic bag to germinate, then open once per day and keep the vermiculite moist and slightly damp but not wet. Indoors temps around 75F to 80F, this is easy mode germination for a lot of species.

My quality seedling mix I prefer,

peatmoss and coir 50/50 ratio up to 50% of medium, 15% decomposed granite, 15% perlite, 10% biochar, and 10% quality compost or aged rabbit or goat manure.

Light good draining easy mode mix,

50% peatmoss 20% vermiculite and 30% perlite then some dashes of azomite, osmocote, and a pinch of lime.

Mine already adapted to outside. Maybe a little slower than the ones pushing it in greenhouses. The roots looked good when I up pot to 5gal from 1gal. I treated with root knot nemacide a few times prior.

I'm not disappointed with any fruit its part of the trial and error of life, I just enjoy the experience. Some fruits are not any good but bird food or ornamental. It's wise to just chalk up the experience and either cull, let the tree grow, or give it away. Finding a gem of a new fruit or selection even if it takes hundreds of failures is what makes this hobby really fun.

Also don't judge a single fruit to decide you like it or not, make sure to trial at least from other sources before you decide it is complete crap. Fruits like surinam cherry have a wider variance in flavors in the genetics.

Could be nutrient deficiency or bacterial.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pouteria lucuma
« on: April 26, 2025, 11:30:07 PM »
Maybe I will have cuttings in the future. I cut back my pecan pie grafts for this spring. However may still have more lucuma de Palo (fruiting mature wood in future). I grafted lucuma de seda hoping it takes in the next few weeks.

First year I have had fruit, so I'm trying to plant up all the seeds to use as rootstock. Lucuma is a little better for most of CA as rootstock in my opinion, unless you live inland OC than maybe canistel is better slightly.

Any of the superior Taiwanese selections with lower to no seeds.

I would say Malay apple, Luc's Garcinia, Rose apple (superior selections), Coconuts (if you can find a selection that handles light frost.

16
Young trees scumbag to winter. I had one in the past in SoCal, died during temps in low 40s extending for weeks. Stem was only pencil thickness.

Keep the plants in a container and warm and dry during cool part of the year. It may survive, however much easier to just grow Atemoya and Cherimoya.

wesh channel 2 called this morning and asked to come out!

another, more in depth news story comes out tonight!

I will post a link, I think they said it airs at 5pm tonight...it's available on demand via their website, but i'm not sure if you have to pay to watch, or how it works....I will find a way to download the video and post to my youtube...

thanks for all the support, the meeting is tomorrow night, I think news will probably be there again.

I'm hoping it works out for you, it will suck if they decide to go through with the plan. Maybe will be a good ending with good compensation or they decide not going through with it and your business gets good exposure.

Chocolate Fruit (Tocoyena bullata) has performed well for me no issues with cold this winter. It's been left outside entire winter. I'm closer to a zone 10b though I have more costal influence with a little inland heat.

Randia sp. Nova Serra Das Lontras. Left this outside this winter it lost leaves. It might be deciduous. The main stem is now sprouting out new leaf buds. There was no die back of mainstem.

Vasconcellea goudotiana, No die back holding fruit and flowering into the winter.

Eugenia sp. Purple Plum. Outside no dieback handled winter well.

19
That sucks Adam, I hope all goes well in your favor.

I like coir a lot but it varies with quality. A good buffered coir goes a long way. Can't go wrong with decomposed granite, vermiculite, biochar, and aged goat manure.

I have been testing a mix like 15% coir, 25% peatmoss, 15% vermiculite, 15% perlite, 10% biochar, 10% DG, 10% Goat manure or worm castings.

So far everything loves it, getting great growth for Eugenia, Garcinia, Plinia, and Annonas. Will sprinkle some acidic sulfur soil conditioner sometimes if it's a plant that likes on acidic side.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / WTB female scions of Kei Apple

I am looking for female scions or Kei apple for sale.

Thanks

You need a humidity dome with venting for exchange of fresh air. Otherwise dehydration will occur, these plants usually have poor root development.

24
I use decomposed granite mixed in potting soil.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Yangmei (Morella/Myrica rubra) thread

Probably lost them after the crazy Santa ana event. Corresponds with posting time and not being far off from January. Dehydrated from fast moving dry winds in his location.

Yangmei most likely needs coastal influence and humidity to be happy. Sub 20% humidity and 60mph winds will definately kill a tree.
