Maybe the silica gel that’s used in shoeboxes? those can be bought online as ‘silica gel packets’.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Moving to Panama
« on: March 08, 2024, 04:41:47 AM »
I assume I am a bit late, but from what I've gathered, importing plant material can be quite a process due to strict regulations aimed at protecting local agriculture and ecosystems. It's definitely worth looking into Panama's specific requirements on importing fruit plants to ensure you comply with all regulations.

As for growing Durian, Panama's tropical climate might be suitable, but it's essential to check local agricultural zones and possibly connect with local growers for the best advice.

When it came to actually moving, I had a good experience using Three Movers. They were super helpful in sorting out the logistics, which could be especially tricky if you're thinking about bringing plant material along. Definitely worth checking out for a smoother move to Panama.

Keep an eye out at woodlanders nursery. They’ve sold MIC in the past and also SanCitChang previously. You could contact them if it’s not on site if they have plans on propagating them in the future.

I have plans for the future so right now it’s just a waiting game for stuff to start blooming to make any crosses. Only thing so far that is blooming for me  is just Thomasville.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: US-802 citrumelo
« on: August 29, 2023, 01:03:31 AM »
Hard to get, not listed as available from UCR. I have a tree I bought from a nursery that is actually using this as the rootstock, but the tree is a Trifoliate+Satsuma. Not gonna decapitate it for US 802.

It’s not fake, I talked to the person growing this and it’s 100% real. Some of them are already flowering and are grafted.

Cold Hardy Citrus / US-802 citrumelo
« on: August 10, 2023, 12:57:25 PM »
Citrus grandis 'Siamese' X Poncirus trifoliata 'Gotha Road' https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/crc4266

When used as a rootstock it makes a vigorous tree and extremely large tree. I see that it's crossed with Siamese pummelo, which could either be the acidless version or the other siamese pomelo, as they have two accessions of siamese pomelo. It would be interesting to use this in crosses instead of dunstan since it may carry acidless in the gene pool if it uses the siamese acidless pomelo 🤔

Looking for a mature budded dunstan citrumelo, or any other type of citrumelo.

24
They do have some healthy trees though. Recently bought a Thomasville and it came in with some fruitlets.

25
I've had Erem x Shek, died during the Christmas Freeze last year with a low of 9F. Gonna try again though..
