Sorry for the bump but can someone explain the easiest way to add pictures? The “add image to post” is gone and I suck with computers. Thanks in advance,

Hello, pineapple enthusiasts. I'm looking for Cabezona and Gigante de Tarauacá slips, suckers, or crowns. If you have material available, please DM with a price.
Thanks!
I started my mango collection in 2019 on the West African Coast with polyembryonic seeds from Tropical Acres. None have fruited yet but the Corne and Ivory seedlings flowered last year so I'm hoping for some fruit this season. The Ivory tree is the cleanest of all and I've taken it as a good sign that it will be disease resistant.
I also recently started growing grafted trees but I don't have enough information yet. I also have a 6-year old topworked NDM 4 that flowers and sets more and more fruit every year. However, it's a disease magnet so if you can spray your tree, then it should be fine. The rest of my grafted trees are too small to fruit but I'll be watching out for flowers this dry season. I can already see the ones that will likely have disease issues from their leaves but perhaps they might power through.
I should tell you that the Sahara has a beneficial effect on our climate so although it's a close comparison, it's not the same thing. Good luck in your search.
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to make sure I’m up to date with the latest best practices for shipping durian seeds.
From what I’ve gathered so far, the recommended method is to ship perfectly cleaned seeds in slightly damp coco coir or sphagnum moss, inside a ziplock bag with a few small air holes for ventilation. Is that still considered the best approach?
I’ve also read that viable shipping time ranges from about 1 week up to sometimes 3 weeks. On the other hand, I even saw a YouTube video claiming seeds could survive up to 4 months in damp styrofoam, which sounds… surprising to me.
I’d really appreciate your input, experiences, and advice on:
The best packing medium (coco coir vs sphagnum vs anything else),
How damp it should be,
Realistic shipping time limits before germination rates drop too much.
Cheers,
Mathieu
Many thanks for the ID! Anyone knows if Durian seeds can be mail ordered from Borneo? Or is the short viability of seeds preventing it?
The only place I know right now that has anything along those lines is Nick's Edibles in St. Cloud. I bought a 3 gallon Triumph tree from him recently and I think he still has a couple left. Definitely call to confirm before making the drive.

are you grafting them now
I didn't get any new trees but I got some fruit for 100% off retail today.
The tour was the first appearance of these random flying gnats that kept up for the next two days. They seem to be endemic to that part of Georgia. It was surreal to see so many acres of citrus in Georgia
The main problems according to the growers, were marketing the fruit as with the Georgia rainfall made the satsumas huge! Way too big to market as cutie size.
I hope someone filmed the lectures
