I usually just use google search. You can type your search terms and then "site:tropicalfruitforum.com" to tell google to only search for results on this website

How did the rescue mission go?

I’ll update my guess to 1122

Good luck digging up the tree, hopefully it survives!

My guess is 812

I've learned that you can't count out lebron, the guy knows how to win in the playoffs. I am rooting for the nuggets though, love watching Jokic play.

The Heat are tough and they matchup really well against the Celtics. I'm expecting the series to go 7 games

As a Celtics fan I'm cautiously skeptical but I gotta pick them. Who's your team sc4001992 (both prediction and fandom)?

Will do, one of them is a bit older and decent size already but I'll try to be patient if they aren't ready. Appreciate the advice

Kevin's a great seller, purchased one a little while ago and it's looking pristine!

Thanks for the review, Janet.

I also tried the Lorrito mamey from lara farms and I thought it was okay but not worth trying to grow myself. It didn't help that my wife didn't particularly like it so I was left with a lot of fruit to consume by myself. I thought the texture was more silky and pudding like compared to a sweet potato that I'd consider more fibrous, which was one of the things I did enjoy about the fruit.

I've been wanting to try green sapote for some time and I almost ordered some from Lara Farms but I didn't due to travel plans. I'm intrigued by your description of dried persimmon as I love hoshigaki! Your description has increased my need to acquire some fruit in the future. Are you planning on growing out the green sapote seeds?

Got a few messages to ship the avocado. I’m traveling back home tomorrow so I’ll give it another couple days to see if there’s any interest for local pickup and if there isn’t, I’ll do a random drawing to pick the winner to ship it out to.

Great video, thanks for sharing Brad! I didn’t think it was too long I enjoy these sort of instructional videos to be a bit longer to see the full process

Thanks for the info, Brad. Have you had issues with fire blight on any of your Asian pears? I may need to find some space to put a couple pears in the ground. I loved the fruit growing up but it’s been a bit of an after thought until now.

Greg, thanks for the heads up on this post. I ended up going to Marukai and picked up a couple of these pears. Very excited to try these.

I forget what thread it was but I recall an older thread where Har, who is super knowledgable about Annonas, said that soursops are sensitive to cold winds. They can handle freezing temps with wind protection but will defoliate in low 40s with wind.

You're getting a bunch of good replies re: white sapotes so I'll just add that you should totally jump on the paw paw train along with growing white sapote. I lived in Baltimore/DC for 10 years and I really enjoyed them. Since it's native to the region you can mostly plant it and forget about it and in a few years you'll have delicious fruit without much work!
