Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Where can I find tropical fruit for purchase in The Bay?
« Last post by Anteriond on April 15, 2024, 11:58:44 PM »
Specifically looking for cherimoya and soursop. I don’t want to purchase the tree itself but rather just the fruit.

I know there’s a large Asian population out here, so I’m sure it’s around here somewhere. I just don’t want to go to every single grocery store in the peninsula aimlessly searching.

I’m currently staying in Daly City but will be going to Fremont today, so any store within that 40 mile range are feasible for a visit

Yes, same here I only have the following varieties that have fruit and either finish ripening or almost ready to be fully ripe:

- China White, ripe and some still getting there
- Peluche, low production
- Avri, low production
- Early Red, low production
- Vista White, still green fruits
- KT2-OCBC, this one has lots of fruits and all starting to turn color so it is doing the best.
- KT1, low fruit production
- KT3-KT31, low fruit production
- Big Jim, just ripening, very low production
- most of the other varieties have no fruits.

I don't have Sherrywood, I do have Sherry, and last time I tested the brix, it came in at 18,20,20.  That is pretty good for loquats.

Angelino/Argelino and Avri had brix 15-17.

Just a warning, don't ever swallow Santol seeds whole, they can tear your gut up.

My pears were in Southeast AL, but I brought some scions with me to WA. The Euro ones have yet to fruit, but the Warren is supposed to take some time ~5 years or so to begin fruiting hence the lack of commercial acreage. The Potomac was more than twice as vigorous and is supposed to be more acidic than the Warren. I usually don't allow my trees to fruit until established, at least 3 years of age.

The rootstock should also be blight resistant if you want your trees to be most protected.

Did your Potomac pollenate the Warren? I just got a pair of pears for a friend and went with Warren and Ayers. I almost got Potomac instead of Ayers.

We got a late freeze and my Yehuda Loquat had just set fruit. All of them froze and I have zero fruit. Northwest FL zone 9a.

Santol variety Pui Fai is very large with a lot of flesh and deliciously sweet .When harvesting those i can't stop eating them.they can be the size of large grapefruit.  :  )

I like Puifa.  But compared to Bangkok, they have more issues with fruit flies it seems.
