Tropical Fruit Discussion / Loquat fruit fly
« on: March 04, 2023, 08:27:49 AM »
I enjoyed my loquat golden nugget for a few years and suddenly i have fruit flies so bad that there is nothing left to eat last a few years. I am thinking about cutting the tree down. Maybe it will reduce their population since i feel like its a breeding ground and it will effect other trees. Is there another loquat variety that ripening earlier when fruit flies are not active?

Tropical Vegetables and Other Edibles / Re: Best fake spinach for FL summer
« on: February 28, 2023, 12:09:16 AM »When the weather was cooler, it had no specific taste like spinach. Then it got older or hot weather, it started getting mustard greens taste. It still the closest taste to spinach i tried.I found tatsoi to be a great spinach replacement. Grows in florida great and was the last to bloom when got hot.
I have not tried it, but I have heard people call it "vitamin green." I guess its actually suposed to be better for you than spinach. Its on the mustard side of the barissica genus with Bok/Pok Choy. Is it pungent like mustard greens or mild like choy?

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Che, medlar, arbutus trees
« on: January 25, 2023, 08:29:41 PM »I didn't think any of them are seedless if there is a male?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.
How big are the seeds? Were the fruit enjoyable with the 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.

« on: January 10, 2023, 06:23:23 PM »FruitGrower and Flgarden, what problems did you have with the trees, e.g., growth habit, disease, etc.? Thanks!Mine were growing a little in the spring and then no growth for the rest of the year and eventually bark was unhealthy looking, cracks, looking stunted. Eventually died.
P.S. if my coffee plants go, I'll add that to the list of trees I gave up on . . .
I have a mango from a root sucker of a tree grown from seed and gave tasty mangos. That one grows like weed fast. Maybe i just pick wrong CC.

« on: December 31, 2022, 08:07:32 AM »Interesting soursop you have! Hopefully it taste good!Soursop will be gone. Any temps below 40f , it drops leaves and fruits. Trying mountain soursop instead.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.
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.

I live in your area.
Persimmons, pineapples, sweet potatoes, mulberries, star fruit grow pest free without much care.
Guavas are tough too.

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.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Does anis like scent in avocado leaves indicate cold hardiness?
« on: October 24, 2022, 07:50:05 PM »
I have read the same about anise smell. Mexican or mexican hybrid avocados should have that smell and usually they are cold hardy. I tested Poncho leaves, very strong anise smell.
