Anyone else harvesting this and or any other low chill varieties?
Harvested two fruit this month. The first was lack luster- only the texture was like a peach. But the second one....my my. Delicious!!! Brix was surprisingly low at 15 (Tasted sweeter). Granted, my tree is still in its 3 gal pot but I'm thoroughly impressed and looking to get more.

Will be there for a week. Any recommendations for tropical plant nurseries in the Clearwater FL area? Fruit trees of course  .

Thanks.

Some help identifying these garcinas would be greatly appreciated (rows from left to right, column from top to down). some might be lemon drop, achacariu, dulcis.
Thanks.

I been to HomeDepots in Miami, Broward, Polk and Manatee county. Does HD still sell DR. Earth soil mixes in FL? Dr. Earth website shows only west coast and east coast for their soil mixes. Its a shame cause they were really good for my potted plant mix and the soil looked and smelled rich. My plants loved it.

I'll be there next week. Hoping there are suggestions.

pm me.

Like the tittle says, I want something that can take the rare freeze with a fast growth rate. I plan on the occasional trimming (8-9ft) with a spread no more than 10ft wide. Was looking at neem but read that it can't take anything less that 30 o F. Murraya koenigii (curry tree) is a fast grower (I see some in Broward neighbourhoods) and the trimming can be used as mulch. Podocarpus was on the list but it seems like a slow grower for my needs. Recommendations welcomed. Bamboo is expensive . Looking to run a 200ft length for the windbreak.

looking to buy 2-4 plants. South Florida or central florida region.

pm me.

aka manzanitas (little apples).

in the south florida or central florida region. pm me directly.

regards.

As the tittle says, looking to buy a Taralay mango plant.

If memory serves me right, this was offered to the public around 2015 but was no longer propagated.

Will buy a 7gal - 20-25gal plant. Will go to a nice home . Pm me.

To those who frequent the Miami International Airport or have noticed the numerous mature and bearing coconut trees in the uncovered parking lot near Concourse "G". Any idea what type they are?
Big green coconuts on some trees fruiting at what I'd estimate to be 20ft.

I was there. Since this one today, the only other one I had been to was Broward back in 2012 I think. The facility was big enough. Saw some big names I'm familiar with like Going Bananas, Hopkins, Wayne Clifton, and Flying Fox Fruits. When I saw Adam there I remembered the thread about where is Adam and why isn't he answering messages . He was busy and at one point he had to control the crown of poeple that started grabbing his yellow pitingatuba fruits in the trays he had on the front desk. Was hoping Toptropicals would be there too and to my surprise they were supposed to be but they had some mechanical problems and were delayed.  I left at around lunch time so I do not know if they made it. Went there solely for mulberries and got four different types and some jabos I didn't already have. Spent just under $300. I was surprised to see how many Cotton Candy mango plants different nurseries had. I think Wayne had the most. Also saw multiple Edgar , CC, Kathy, a lone Orange Essence. Pickering seemed to be the star. Chatter heard when walking through the crowds near the mangoes were about Maha Chanok and Kesar. Also saw some carambolas I havent heard of like Red Dumpster and some other one whose name eludes me now (Possum Gold?). Kajang carambola still eludes me. Saw "B-10" and apparently this is not "Bell" but a much older variety (close to 40 yrs old). Saw lots of Luc's garcinia seedlings for sale at this one stall for $50 (?) a pop about 6" high with 2-4 leaves at best. I hope the mulberries I bought turned out to be what the label says. When packing my "Giant" in the car, I only then noticed the pot had Perv. written on it. LOL.
