The Tropical Fruit Forum

Brian, I'd like to get some of the Ugni.

I've been growing one in a 45 gallon pot for at least 15 years here in Southern California. My mix is perlite, peat moss and maybe some sand and a little mulch. I acidify with EDDHA chelated iron and phosphoric acid mixed in city water. I fertilize with Growmore 10-52-10 and Hollytone. I keep mine in an unheated greenhouse year round and I get too much fruit.

Here are a couple that are fruiting down here in San Diego.

Kecil from Frankie's in Hawaii, growing here for 12 years.




Red Taiwan

Bill, I think I Kimber red variety.  My question is after hand pollinating, the tiny fruits stay the same size (sesame seed size) for several weeks now unlike cherimoya and atemoya.  They don't drop.  They just don't grow.  Is this normal?  Thanks.

That is correct, I brought scions over from Florida in 2011 and had The Kimber Red and Green growing here in southern San Diego. The fruit will be pollinated in September and won't grow until the next spring, they get to golf ball size, soften up and then it is all seeds. The best way to go is get a Cherilata which gets to be a good sized fruit if you are in the cooler areas of California.

Nice variety of fruit trees in Chula Vista 8 miles south of downtown San Diego.

15 Gallon Luc's Mangosteen

Added more plants with price updates

More trees added

Those flowers are male.

Bummer, at least I have a few others to help it later. Since it easily grafts on Imbe, I was thinking maybe I could cross pollinate and see if the Imbe takes the Luc's pollen.

With the keen eye sight SD Dan who was visiting my place, he found some flowers on one of my seedling Luc's. The seedling is from Luc's first seeds he sent back in 2015. Not sure what the flowers are, if anyone can tell,  let me know, they are still pretty new.

Yes, I do have mango scions available, some are pushing buds now and some are not.

I graft Ross and Canistel both with no problem here in San Diego. I use a cleft graft and make sure the scions are pushing buds and the rootstock is also growing.
