Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Allspice seeds and Berries
« on: November 03, 2022, 10:23:55 AM »What's the germination rate?
? Sorry that is a question that I can not answer as fact simply because being a small seed I have never counted them and the seedlings when they come up, when I plant them as with most/all small seeds I just throw a bunch in a pot and then separate and repot later. Regards Patrick

« on: November 02, 2022, 12:01:42 PM »Hi Rex, they are more difficult than some seeds but that is only because you MUST START WITH FRESH SEED and you can only get when in season, other than that keep them moist like everything else. I only sale seeds fresh picked from tree. hope this helps Regards PatrickHi All, The Allspice (pimenta dioica) are in season so have fresh seeds or berry's $.25 ea. plus shipping Regards Patrick
How difficult are they to germinate? I’d be interested in giving it a go most likely.

Can you post a list of varieties?Hi Brad I just got a Jamaican cherry from them, what I thought was a 4" pot turned out to be a 1" plug no visible roots around the plug, badly wilted when it arrived dead now there ph# is no good and they do not respond to there on line comments.
Etsy is a good place also to offer them. Why not just go for it? What do you have to lose?

keep in mind that what you have are f-2s meaning you have the 2nd generation and the person who was kind enough to share the seeds with you could of inadvertently crossed them in his garden with other melons he planted or even his neighbors. that being said they are very easy to breed back to true

« on: July 06, 2022, 08:55:22 AM »Anyone have success in the northeast?what was your method used to root your cuttings and at what time of year?
These are all rooted cuttings from 2 plants that were listed as being 7a hardy (taking it with a grain of salt). Unknown variety, sold by 9Greenbox.
No damage so far with 20f, 16f, 18f over night, daily temps have been above freezing.
Tuesday will be interesting. Looks to be the coldest day and night combo so far

Hi All , for those of you that actually air layer Blueberry's have you found a very best time of year to do it for fastest/best results ? also the same question for stone fruit such as plums and cherry's , I have done this a few times but have not enough to determine the very best time Regards Patrick

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: Plum cherry cross (pluerry)
« on: July 03, 2022, 12:24:27 PM »I have a lot of citation trees and they definitely dont do as well as nemaguard. The pluerry trees I got are on citation I think. I have had a few citation trees that had clogged sprinklers die. They have to be way dry to die though.excess and bit overripe is also great for sorbet
Ive got some other pluerry tree but dont remember the name. Maybe flavor punch but not sure. I think these pluerry are bettery tasting than most of the pluots Ive tried. The flavor king pluot is awesome but this sweet treat pluerry is bettery than the rest of the pluots I tried.
Nectarines are useless again this year with russeting. Im going to top work all remaining nectarine over to peach. The May pride, Mid pride, and August pride are legit peaches. Really dont need any others in the collection if you have those 3 imo.
So many good stone fruits... We go out with a 5 gallon bucket every day and pick fruit and have filled the freezer with vac packs of stone fruit and are now dehydrating and jarring it.

the problem is your knife skills, you need to practice on that..... you can practice your knife skills without actually grafting using vines or small branches of anything in your yard
