The Tropical Fruit Forum

I tried some and thought them rather bitter as well.  But, if anyone can locate ones with sweet fruit, would love to try to grow some seeds.

Not trying to slander anyone.  For the record, gardening is my past time.  Regular job is dr.  Shamus is worse than Jake.  Hi new nickname on the Internet is shameless.  He makes even worse claims.  I guess, the other thing I don't like is that there are really good places out here for fruit trees, tropicamango,  a tropical concept, RSI nurseries.  These are great places to buy, the owners have a wealth of information and will talk you out of purchases if they think you are going to kill a tree.  But, because they don't go shirtless on the Internet or completely nude, they are all just old foggies that don't know what they are talking about.
If you have to educate yourself first to figure out what parts Jake and shamus say are true, versus total bs, then I wouldn't say they are good people to learn about gardening.

No information.  I's it that rare in cultivation?

Yeah, states rootstock abs grafting is a waste of time because he will show you how to modify your soil for any plant.  Has tons of sights that are supposedly educational, but, just are advertisements for him and his business.  Promotes planting some plants that are mostly tropical and says they will grow no problem in AZ, but, next cold winter we get they will all be toast.  Has no educational background to support the claims he makes.  Promotes all these soil additives as being necessary, when they are not, and low and behold he has them all for sale. 
Promotes extremely waterm thirsty plants for the desert.  Promotes products with high amount's of nitrogen and phosphates which, with, storm run off, polutes strrams and wate supplies.

Jakes mace gives a lot of false information on his videos.  Most people that know how to garden in AZ consider him a complete clown.

I bought sunred or here in AZ at RSI.  Supposedly is delicious.  It is in dwarf rootstock, double grafted with Florida prince peach for pollination

I have one growing and this is the first year that it flowered.   Thank you very much for the post, now I will eagerly await the fruit.
I was told that the fruit was too small to be commercially viable.

I may just hold off for a while and try some different grapefruit carieties.  I had oro blanco once and it wasn't my favorite.  Might try some different pummelo's, too.
I have eaten a fair amount of keraji and I really like them.  I kind of agree on the clem yuzu.  Pretty sour.

When I lived in Hampton, VA, zone 8a, I got the bug for cold hardy citrus.  With the helping of Gaylord in VA Beach, I was amassing a very nice colection.  I had changsha mandarine and a limequat in the ground.  I had keraji madarin, satsuma mandarin, bloomsweet, clem yuzu, Sanbokan lemon, ichang lemons in pots and was scoping for places to plant them in my yard.  If I could have found kishu mandarin in VA, I would have been a very happy camper.
Well, life did a turn around and after 7 years in VA, I left for AZ in 2012.  I had to leave all my citrust behind and start a new.  I was so invested in this point in cold hardy citrus, that I wanted to regrow all my favorite's out.  To my great sadness , I quickly found out only kishu mandarin and owari satsuma mandarin could be purchased in AZ.
So, over the past 5 years, I started a one man campaign to beg wherever I could to get or pay for the remaining trees through seeds.
One note is that I decided to leave out limequat and ichang lemon.
Well, I am happy to report that I am almost whole again.  With my clem yuzu and keraji recently sprouting, and from the past couple years, I know have the complete list.. ..except for bloomsweet.

So that leads me to a question, should I just up on bloomsweet?  Unlike all the other citrus I listed, I have never actually tried a bloomsweet.  Was growing it mostly for cold hardiness.
I have heard mixed reviews on the flavor of bloomsweet, with some saying it is insipid.  Also, I have seen some interesting grapefruit seeds on ebay for some sweet grapefruit and thought maybe I should just give them a try.
Any recommendations?

Looking to buy either seeds or preferably seedling of spondias purpurea. Apparently,  it was my wife's favorite fruit when she lived in nicaragua.   If there is a dwarf variety, even better, as it will have to stay potted.

Merry Christmas guys!  Have been following Millet and Laaz from the hardy citrus boards from about 6 years ago.  Glad everyone got back on this board and looking forward to new posts!

Looking for fruit of thsee varieties that should be ripening soon.  These are some of my favorite citrus, and I have not been able to eat them since I moved to AZ.  Would also use the seeds to try to grow some seedlings.  Will pay for the citrus and shipping.  Would greatly appreciate any help.
