Tropical Fruit Discussion / What can be grown in Europe, zone 10?
« on: June 24, 2014, 03:46:03 PM »
Hello everyone.

Which tropicals can/are being grown in the zone 10 part of Europe?

I know that we can sometimes buy Keith mangos from Spain.

And it seems that this nursery in Malaga, spain, is selling guanabana, jaboticaba, sapodilla, Rollinia and lots of other tropicals: http://frutalestropicales.com/product.php?id_product=28

But do they have to be covered in winter? Or even grown in greenhouses?

I am very curious to know. :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Dead leaves (lychee): Should I do something?
« on: May 26, 2014, 10:44:07 AM »
Hello everyone.

My two lychee trees seems to have survived the Danish winter, and are now shooting like crazy. :)

Sadly, the leaves are in pretty bad shape.

Should I removed the damaged ones, or just leave them be?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Banana ID.
« on: August 21, 2013, 08:54:19 AM »
Hello everyone.

Can anyone tell me the name of this banana variety?

It fruited at a height of about 1.5-1.6m.

It never gets direct sunlight. The room is very bright though (skylight above the room).

The picture was taken last year where another plant in the same room also fruited. This year "we" have 4 plants. :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Achacha: Fruiting age from seed?
« on: August 20, 2013, 11:38:41 AM »
Hello everyone.

Does anyone know how long it takes the achacha to produce from seeds?

Also, which soil mix is best for germinating the seeds?

The info I can find online has been very conflicting.

Hope you guys can help. :)

Kind regards Anders.

Sadly, I cant find any information on the "Koaimi" variety.

Can anyone shed some light on how to care for it?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mangosteen overripe?
« on: April 25, 2013, 12:29:05 PM »
Hello eveyone.

I got the chance to buy some mangosteen fruit's today, and since I have never tryed them before, I jumped on the deal right away.

- sadly, I think they are overripe. The white meat is very soft and some of it has turned translucent (and slimey).

So, are they overripe? Or are they ment to be like that?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Rollinia emarginata tasty?
« on: April 04, 2013, 05:56:53 AM »
Hello everyone.

Just found out about this species and it seems very interesting.

But, is the fruit worth eating? I can only find one source:

Quote
The fruit is the size of an apple with sweet pulp, melting like ice cream.

Hello everyone.

Would it be possible to keep these two species at around 6-7 feet and still get an ok yield?

P.s why is there no beginners section?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Keeping my tropicals small?
« on: October 09, 2012, 04:19:07 AM »
Hello everyone.

I would like tips and tricks to keep my trees as small and bushy as possible to maximise my fruit harvest without having huge trees (I have to container grow).

I found this lychee tree and was very impressed. I can read that he used weights to force the branches down.

http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tropicalfruits/msg0904043320517.html?14

Where can I read more about these techniques?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Wich exotic fruit trees for northern Europe??
« on: October 04, 2012, 03:14:07 AM »
Hello everyone. :)

I just bought a strawberry guava, wich was grown in England. The seller keeps his own tree inside in winter and outside during the summer (greenhouse). Its fruits and does well.

Now, wich other exotic fruit trees would do equally well here in northern Europe?

My own digging through the internet has resulted in this list of possible candidates: Blackberryjam fruit, Naranjilla, Cabelluda, Feijoa, longan, Peanut butter fruit, loquat, Grumichama, Achachairu, Sugar apple, Acerola, Lucuma, Pitomba, Jujube, Icaco, Papaya, Babaco, Jaboticaba, Blue jaboticaba.

What do you guys think?

Kind regards Anders.
