The Tropical Fruit Forum

Try to find these limes.  They are amazing.  I’d be very excited if you grabbed a few seeds for me.

Have fun, Costa Rica is awesome.  The fruit is amazing.  I’ve never been at a breakfast buffet and gone straight to the fruit section first, lol.

Yeah, those style of traps are not going to work.  The dragon fruit is going in along a chain link fence that “might” be on city property but my neighborhood has long tradition of gardening the section of fence line to beautify it.  The city has been cool and just weed wacks around anything the neighborhood plants but I don’t want to risk anyone’s animals or kids getting injured.  Our local gorilla gardening club has planted many areas and the city has been very supportive so everything we do is taken into consideration as far as safety and keeping the landscape aesthetically pleasing.

How many cuttings should I put in a 15 gallon?  I figure I can spray paint the planters tan and plant some natural grasses in front of them.

How many cuttings to a 15 gallon?  Any reason a bucket with holes drilled works better than a mesh root bag?  I kinda want to keep the area natural looking without eyesore buckets sticking out of the ground.

I’m going to plant a bunch of dragon fruit in a heavily gopher infested area.  Too big of a space to trap and poison isn’t my thing.  How bad are gophers on dragon fruit roots?  What sized wire baskets do you folks suggest?  Was looking at something like these.

Looking for two desert king cuttings.  Let me know if anyone has any for sale or leads on any.

Thanks!

Just bought a Kathy, thanks.

What sized container for passion fruit should I use?

^Good point about the void. 

I could probably rig up something close to the wall then if it won’t reach out and adhere/damage.

Thanks Brad.  That’s what I needed to know.  We get 50mph offshores here sometimes. 

Matt, you’re probably right.  My non tropical rangpur most likely looks different than one grown in rich soil and humid heat.

That’s what I heard too.  But I’m staring at my Rangpur tree and it’s just not the same.  Different look to the fruit. 

Limón mandarina is a hybrid between the mandarin orange and the lemon. It is preferred over other varieties of lemons or limes in Costa Rica because it is easier to peel, juicier (and therefore easier to squeeze), has beautiful orange pulp, and is slightly more sweet than the regular lemons or limes yet still very sour.

Yes!!  That’s it in the picture! How do I find seeds or plants?  I might need some help from our tico members so I get the right seeds.  Seems to be some debate over what this is.

And yes, it’s absolutely delicious.  Perfectly bridges the gap between sour and sweet.  Like a lime and a mandarin had a baby.
