Tropical Fruit Discussion / Info on Derek, Hamada, Hansen and Nancy please
« on: May 08, 2024, 02:03:31 PM »
Did a trade and got these varieties on the side. Other than a few posts here about a few varieties (like red Hansen) I am clueless as to the vigor of the trees (my greenhouse roof in central Texas has a ridge of 18'), tendency to alternate bear, fruit quality, etc. Am top working to existing fruit bearing trees such as Reed, JB, Ardith, Sharwil, etc.
As an aside the USPS morons delivered the package to my home town and rather than delivering it sent it off to a small rural town, off to Austin and then finally back to me, but by that time I was in NOLA 3 days after the original scheduled delivery. Will file a claim.
Best condition is Derek sticks. Hamada, Hansen, and Nancy might be workable. As fate would have it the one I really wanted, Pinkerton, is in bad shape an toast
Any info would be appreciated so I can make a practical choice regarding variety.
FWIW, Reed is loaded this year. Must have 50 or so in a tree I keep trimmed to about 16'.
Thanks,
Mark
