The Tropical Fruit Forum

Took these pics yesterday of a few things that are fruiting: cheena seedling from oscar

Pingo de mel, this is fruiting constantly


Ruby honey


Gr1 since this started to fruit last year it has always been in flower or fruit. This one and the Pingo de mel seem to produce for me nonestop so far

I will have a rental car for a couple days while visiting Honolulu. Would love to get my hands on a soursop and any other tropical fruits. Just landed today and have only had the papayas from ABC store, Lol . They don't even have any of the "apple" bananas, love those.
Thanks .

Looks great!   How does the grumichama/minutifolia fruit taste?

Thanks! The grumi/minutifolia tastes similar to both of the other orange eugenia sp I have tried which are pitomba and e. Azeda. The flavor is sort of apricoty, good balance of sweet and sour( unless picked under ripe which is too sour), and a flavor thats hard to describe maybe "spicy" would be the description. Having that said all 3 of those orange color eugenias I've tried are my favorite eugenias I've tasted so far

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Ive been dragging my feet on starting up my scion trade/sale and wanted to stop making excuses. Ill do my best to keep the sale open for a few months. Im updating the list, some things I had to offer are noblonger available and alot of new stuff is available. When I have some extra time e in the next week ill make a list of scions or plants that im looking for and would like to trade. Im always happy to sell scions but prefer to barter! Im going to start offering seeds and will work on completing a list of what I have to offer in the upcoming weeks. Ill keep my seed sales open indefinitely. It seems the most feasible way for me to sell seeds goes as follows: given ill be getting different fruits at different times i will take order reservations in advance without accepting payment. When the fruits are ripe and seeds are ready ill message people who have reservations to accept payment and ship. Minimum purchase amounts for each variety will be $50 not including shipping. The exception to that rule will be if I dont have enough seeds of one variety to offer you equaling $50 then the rule won't apply. Under no circumstances will i ship ripe fruit. Ill do my best to update my seed list as time goes on with pics, flavor descriptions, time of year fruits are available, new varieties fruiting, and anything worth noting. Selling seeds is new to me so it will be a work in progress. Shipping will only be through domestic usps so no international shipping, sorry. Once I harvest seeds ill ship asap in very lightly moistened vermiculite, typically shipping on Mondays.

Now i think this is Paulista variegata… more pics of this trees…

The new growth looks beautiful! From the pics I've seen of variegated Paulista, Im pretty sure that's what u have

Just noticed a few flowers on myc. Strigipese. This is its first time flowering, the plant is still pretty small and its only a couple years old. Hopefully this one sets fruit more heavily than myc. Glazioviana


Kinda looks like im getting first flowers on myc. Glazioviana var. "De cruz", but hard to tell. It might just be new growth. Ill find out in a few days, fingers crossed for flowers

Your collection is amazing, congratulations! 

Thank you Luis! Your plinia collection is amazing, and your pictures have me drooling constantly. Keep up the good work!

Loving the new pics!

What's the fruit and taste like on that orange grumi/minutifolia??

It tastes pretty similar to eugenia azeda, really good for a eugenia sp. I only got to try pitomba once but from what I remember the flavor was similar
