The Tropical Fruit Forum

Thanks friends. I checked on Wikipedia and my Durian is identical to the pic of Durio dulcis. Wiki says it is the sweetest Durio!!! but there is nothing to eat!!!! I am waiting for my fruit to ripen and will post more details.

This is one of the Avocadoes I have in my garden. It weighs from 15 Ozs to 25 ozs. Is easily peelable and the skin is dark green and rough.

I have many Malay apple trees which are all less than 8 feet tall and all are fruiting.

If somebody on the forum could explain how to prepare branches for scion and how to package them, eg. Sapodilla, Longan, etc, I would be very grateful.

Thank you so much for yr nice Video. Watching yr video on veneer grafting helped me to succeed grafting avocadoes, where earlier I had only failures. I get over 90% takes. Thanks Carlos

Hello, Do pawpaw trees require chill to fruit?

Hello, Salak Madu is a hydridised variety and so the seeds do not fruit true. This is what I was told by a farmer near Yogyakartha, when I bought the fruits and asked him about planting the seeds. He told me that all the trees in his farm are grafted ones.

Sorry

Yes, I use a soluble fert with 13:27:27.  In 2013 when I started using this in August, I got fruits from Sept to Jan. So in 2014 I did not use this fert and I hardly got any fruits. So in Dec I started applying and now since Feb I am having fruits.

I got a lot of polyemryonic seedlings when I sprouted about 50 avocado seeds for rootstock. Which of the shoots is true to the parent?

I do not know whether it is polyembriyonic, but what Ajesh says is true. I have a tree grown from seed and many of my friends have trees grown from seeds and all fruiting true. Also I have never come across a "priyoor" grafted seedling in the nurseries, it is always seeded ones. This mango is found only in central Kerala. The raw mango tastes like Gauva so it is also called "Gauva mango" in Malayalam.

This jackfruit is called "thamara chakka" in Malayalam, which literally means "Lotus Jack".

Will pawpaws fruit in places were there is no chill? but min is 65 and max. is 85. I got some seeds from "jlhudson seedman'. And out of 8 seeds soaked in 500 ppm GA3 for 6 days, two have sprouted. I am planing to take them to India. Any advice would be very helpful.
