The Tropical Fruit Forum

We picked up a Thompson Red from Mike at TreesNmore last year.  It Flowered like crazy but I don't think it set any fruits.  We also have Brogdon, Oro negro, Lila, Donnie and one other unknown we grafted from a neighbors yard.  I can't even remember what the fruit looked like.  lol  We grow most of our trees in pots, lack of space.  Oro Negro also purchased from Mike, we put in the ground, along with 1 of the Thompson Reds at our friends farm.  That TR died, so we will probably graft another one and take ours down there and plant this year. 

I messaged you Brian, I would like a couple of scions if you still have them available. 
Thanks

Scions received.  Received way more scions than expected.  Very healthy and shipped fast.  Don't hesitate to order yours before they are all gone.  Thank you gozp for working with me and for all the extras.  Happy Growing. 

Brian, how does the fruits of Annona longiflora taste? Sounds like it is a small bush type of tree.

I am also interested in this fruit.  Has your tree set fruit and what would be the best rootstock to graft too?  I would like to try to graft a couple. 

Not sure about south Florida.  I know there is some low chill hour ones found growing in Central Florida but they aren't the same as the ones grown in Ga or further north.  They grow very slow and have long tap roots so they are normally direct sowed from seed.  Not very many people offer them but there is a group on FB specifically for Florida growers.  We have a tiny one growing from seed we ordered on Etsy from a Florida grower, a couple of years back. 

Will these graft to Red Hybrid?  If so I'll take them.    Never tried grafting Jabos and we only have Reds available to graft too.

Ok tracking shows all orders have been delivered.  Thanks to everyone who participated and I appreciate those who have confirmed delivery.  Good luck this growing season.

How many do you need?  Will reds work or do they have to be sabara

I don't have Ilama but I do have some Hunucma Amarilla.

I would buy a few also if you have any leftover. 

Ok guys, I have everyone's orders packaged and ready to drop off at the post office in the morning.  Please check your emails or messages for tracking number.  Everyone who ordered and paid should have received their tracking numbers already.

Thanks everyone, hope everyone finds success with their grafts this season!

ok no worries.  If I get out that way I'll bring you a plantain.  If you get around Kissimmee let me know also. 

Would you happen to have any scions for sugarlata available?  I have puerto rican plantain Or plenty of other bananas I can trade with you or Cash. 

Oscar at fruit lovers nursery should have some. His tree just finished fruiting a little while ago.
Just make sure to contact him directly.

I was looking for some of these awhile back.  I might try to score a few myself
