The Tropical Fruit Forum

I grow all types of tomatoes twice a year. Timing is everything. In my zone they have to be planted  by March and September 1st. I would think Miami area should be a month ahead of us. I grow in full sun and in pots. They all do good and produce a lot before they decline because of summer or winter.

Young trees, or stressed or lack of water could be a reason for fruit drop.

I have a thai dwarf from fruitscapes and first impression was: it's sour.
However, later i noticed fruit get sweet with high heat and ripening longer on the tree.

I have seen them fruiting in central Florida, but their owners didn't know the variety name. Just bought them and got lucky. I had a large tree blooming every year and not a singe fruit set.

I have a 4 yo Salavatski pom. Last year all flowers dropped. This year i have more flowers and a small pom developed. I saw flowers on the old growth and new.

Some sources say that seedless che gives fruit without male but usually drops fruit untill tree matures
If male is present, seedless fruits earlier but with seeds. 
 

My white sapote redlands was struggling with sun while in a pot. This year i planted it in ground, it was not looking good on the sun for a few months but started growing like crazy now.

I don't know but it's supposed to be the best one.
I am keeping a one for myself.

I have super hass next to bacon avocado. The same age the same compact looking trees. Bacon is more dense than super hass. Both trees were last spring in 3gal, now in 15 gal. Super hass has at least 15 fruit hanging. Bacon did not set any.

My siam is not different. Some fruit are longer, some wider and shorter. I got it directly from Amanda as well. It's a second year and i will take more pics.

I am underwhelmed by jaboticabas, too.  The flesh is good but the clingy seed and thick skin makes it hard to eat them.  They are so nice looking I will definitely keep one, but I see no reason to collect more.

I was having the same thoughts about jabos and wondering why nobody mentioned it. Clingy seed makes it impossible to enjoy the fruit. Especially if you want to save the  seed.
