Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Is Radiance Seeds Good?
« on: February 12, 2025, 09:12:00 PM »
We have ordered some seeds a week ago and nothing yet. I messaged him to check if the business is active and no answer yet.
I should have checked first before ordering like i emailed Oscar from fruitlovers and never heard back. Some sites like ghost businesses.

I bought those seeds 4 yrs ago. It fruited last year.
They did get that dark color for me. They were small, soft and sweet like strawberry guavas.
For some reason i can't attach the image, low memory message.

I have a 1 gal rooted cutting that i neglected. No fertilizer. It was in a 1 inch of standing water and fruiting none stop being just a 2 ft tall. As soon as i moved it into a less water spot, it stopped fruiting. It needs lots of water to set fruits.

I have a super hass  tree and it is doing better than any avocados i tried growing.  It was fruiting and holding avocados from 7 gal size. I found their taste to be just like store bought hass. Animals damaged the tree last year trying to get fruit, so this year it is looking worse,still recovering , growing slow in ground but still has a few avocados.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Soursop in Inland Central Fl
« on: July 10, 2024, 10:09:34 AM »
I would say it's a waste of time anyway... Soursop does not like temps below 45f. It will drop all leaves and fruit. It was growing well for me, and bloomed for many years but no luck.

I have seen many large producing mangos in winter springs, Oviedo, Sanford. Everytime i asked about variety i was told it was from a seed. Luck or something else, but my coconut cream and pickering died on me....

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Tomatoes in FL
« on: September 04, 2023, 08:26:01 PM »
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.

I have a one flowering butterscotch and it set a fruit.

15
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.

Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles / Re: Squash identification
« on: June 03, 2023, 10:44:12 PM »
It was not sweet and not deep orange color. Since i didn't grow any zucchinis or pumpkins other than seminole, that hybrid was probably brought by  squirrels or birds . Neighbors don't have veggies growing.
I plant its seeds. I will grow anything that survives Florida heat and rain.

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.

Last year i grew seminole pumpkin which does not look like this one. Then these stated showing i thought squirrels replanted my seminole.
Just tried it. Its more like calabaza. Not as sweet and orange like Seminole.

I got a squash that i didn't plant. Please help to identify. It's doing really well in central Florida and i plan to keep seeds.

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.
