Here’s another update of my Yangmei. The weather is getting warmer and we are also getting more sunlight hours and I’m not sure if it’s the increased light, warmer temps, or a combination of both that is causing my blooms to convert to vegetative growth.
If it’s the heat that is causing the blooms to turn vegetative, the growers in warmer climates such as those growing in Hawaii or Southern Florida will have to ensure they get sufficient cold stimulus to get blooms and fruit set. Alternatively, they can look for varieties that may not require as much cold stimulus to trigger blooms.
My male tree still has blooms on it but there are very few male blooms left. The good news is that it appears this male produces enough blooms/pollen to pollinate the earlier and later blooming varieties. In April, there are very few blooms on my male and female plants, everything is definitely winding down in terms of blooms.
Here’s my Ann Hai on Californica rootstock. It is growing in a large pot and it set a ton of fruit. I stopped counting after 200. So far, I have not noticed any fruit drop.

Joe, nice growth on the Shine.
If anyone else has the Shine growng now with leaves, can you post it here, I'd like to compare the leaves of Shine to my tree.
If you show me yours, I will show you mine. I also have a Red Shine grape growing.
I've been growing sugarcane for years but never juiced it. What do you guys use for pressing/juicing?
San Diego Yellow is my favorite for pressing. I’ve experimented with about 10 different varieties and the SD Yellow grows well, is very sweet and doesn’t fall apart when pressed like the softer purple and black varieties. The canes that have bulges aren’t ideal for pressing. Brad has a stripped cane that he says is super good but I have not tried that variety yet.

Are you really selling scions for profit you got for FREE that people donated for the Orange County Rare Fruit Growers Scion Exchange that took place last weekend? If so you should be banned from the event next year.
Wow, you really are bitter because of me pointing out your burkartiana listing. Pretty aggressive accusing me of that and threatening me. These are fresh cut to order off my established trees, so thanks for your concern.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the Burkartiana listing but I figured you would think that, I would call out anyone who sold scions from a free scion exchange that are meant for peoples gardens and not meant to be sold for profit. What a surprise you’re denying it...especially when I saw you walking around with a giant bag at the exchange...I hope I’m wrong and you’re not really that low, but I have talked with a couple forum members who have dealt with you and they both said you’re shady.
You have no basis for accusing me of taking these scions, which I’m offering here, from the CRFG scion exchange. I have two large trees from which these scions will be cut. I don’t appreciate the false accusations.

Ya man 100% Positive. Seeds were purchased from the man himself Hapa Joe in June 2022. In case you didn’t know he actually goes into the jungle and collects the seeds HIMSELF, so these cane directly from the source, no middle man. So how would you like to pay Jeremy? 😉
So I confirmed with Joe that yours it NOT the same as what’s being sold on eBay by both Kam and Steven as Eugenia burkartiana. Yours from Joe is what’s pictured.
Lol and yes, by the pure definition of middle man, you absolutely purchased from a middle man. But anywho, now there are some questions as what Helton has described as burkartiana is different than whatever source Kam and Steven are getting as Burkartiana.
Thanks for the heads up Jeremy! I didn’t realize I had the more rare variety from Helton Josue!!! Maybe I should charge more
After talking with a couple trustworthy sources, this one that you’re offering should not be referred to as burkartiana but unicamp instead.
