The Tropical Fruit Forum

Over the years i lost so many oranges
lumes and mandarins trees. Only bearss lemon, kumquat are doind well long term and an unknown orange grown from seed, with minimal attention and care is surviving cold weather, fruit are sweet, no diseases.

I didn't think any of them are seedless if there is a male?
How big are the seeds? Were the fruit enjoyable with the seeds?

Some of them do not set fruit without male around. The seedless one should be able to do it but if male is around they will have seeds.
I found their seeds easy to chew compare with passion fruit that I can't eat with seeds or some guava seeds are too hard for me. With che fruit is being chewy, seeds are not possible to separate from flesh.

I will trim my che in a month and could trade cuttings with you.
I have male and female of unknown variety (fruited, very good), and norris has not fruited yet.

Do they come true from seeds? I bought seeds and 2 actually germinated and grow well.

I have a bad luck with 2 coconut cream mangos as well...

Soursop will be gone. Any temps below 40f , it drops leaves and fruits. Trying mountain soursop instead.
Everbearing mulberry is gone. Too tiny and messy. Will keep thai and
austirkey.
Many unproductive figs are gone.
Kaffir lime tree will be gone. No use for it in my house.

In case you really like Soursop, I have one that did not loose leaves each of the time I get 36 degree or less, while the others all turn brown and drop leaves.  I will be able to share scions in the future.  For now, I am waiting to see how the fruit tastes.

Interesting soursop you have!  Hopefully it taste good!

I have a dark one from zills and it's very good. I could eat a plate of those.

I added a little of kaffir lime juice to salmon dish  without tasting it first. Big mistake... Its not like any other limes. Its strong and bitter. I am not sure how people like it but i am ready to cull my tree since i have no use of fruits.

Which one is bigger than most others, really round, and really sweet? I got a meiwa and it's oblong and not as sweet, but I'm not sure if it's because of a first year issue or plant mix up

You probably have nagami. They are not sweet. My meiwa was a pencil thick and already produced sweet fruit.
Ana

Some of them need a second tree. I had one and it was mature, had beautiful flowers every spring and not a single fruit set. Friend of mine purchased unknown variety in a small pot and it produced fruits on the second year.
I feel like trying growing them again but afraid i will end up with non fruiting one.

This storm was very slow moving and kept dumping tons of water for hours before it left any area. Ever in Orlando we see streets flooded that never happened before with any other storms.

I am not a citrus expert, but many years ago an orange seed was planted in my yard and after 10 years it produced perfect sweet oranges.
