The Tropical Fruit Forum

Hey guys.

My abiu tree is nearly done fruiting for the year. It's a solitary tree that's been fruiting reliably for the last 4 years. Around 15ft. I've been selling boxes of fruit during the summer for a few years now. This year I got around 100 lbs of fruit from it.

I'm not the biggest fan of the fruit since it completes with mango season and as I'm planning on selling this house in a year or so I'm putting the tree up for sale. You should have plenty of time to root prune.

I'm asking for $500.




I also have the last batch of grafted trees that looks sized up enough to sell. $50
8 Cherilata
1 Chonox Custard Apple (never fruited so i cant 100% confirm)
1 Tropic Sun
4 Dream
1 KJ Pink (never fruited so i cant 100% confirm)
1 Arka Sahan (never fruited so i cant 100% confirm)

This is the last batch I'm grafting...for a few years





 
I also have a bunch of A.montana roots stock (1gal) $10 and 2 large 1gal Garcinia Acuminata

PM if interested. Local Pickup only

Hey everyone, I started picking a fair bit of mangos this weekend.
I should have enough to start selling starting Monday (5/12).
I'll keep updating this thread as the varieties change.

I've been in the process thinning the collection in anticipation of moving (not far), so this may be my last mango season as a producer for a while.

Over the course of the season I should have Angie, Buxton Spice, CAC, Dupuis, Honey kiss, M-4, Manilita, Neelam, Peach Cobbler, Pickering, Orange Sherbet, Sturrock, Taralay, Zinc
and a more limited quantity of Lemon Zest and Smith.

If there is enough local interest I can probably get some more varieties from other nearby members. (I'll see what I can reasonably handle this year)

Please PM if interested. Local pickup only $4/lb (I'm in the Northwest Broward area, not far from Sawgrass Exp and Sample Rd)
Feel free to text or call as well.

I just picked a 5 gal bucket filled with abiu.
$7/lb, local pick up for now.
They're around 6 oz each
I'll look into shipping for Monday



I still have a few mangos. Mostly orange sherbet and venus

I have a surplus of Peach Cobbler, Orange Sherbet, and CAC mangos.
I individually wrap each mango with plenty of packing paper and can fit around 9 mangos in a large USPS flat rate box 12x12x8
I'll put 3 of each variety in a box

I'm asking $75 a box including shipping.

I can ship to the states that allow it. (Can't do CA)

Please PM me or post here.
I can only fill around 10-15 boxes
I plan on shipping them out on Wednesday (7/10/24) so I'll take orders until 9:00 PM EST 7/9/24

Hey guys. I'm located in Coral springs
Im overloaded on the mangos currently
I'm selling them for $4/lb. (Cash, zelle or PayPal)
Local pickup only, sorry. (Plenty of others offering shipping these days)

I currently have:
Angie
Dupuis Saigon
Manalita

I'll have a few cac, Maha Chanok, Edgar, Thai everbearing, zinc and other random ones.
I'll update the thread as I get others.

I'm starting to graft some of my rootstock and I clipped a lot more branches from the mother tree then I need.
Since these are already clipped this is for local pick up only.
Probably going to have some tropic sun scions too

Hey guys I've been really into atemoyas the last couple years and I've been trialing a few to see how they work in South East Florida.
Considering we had recent influx of new varieties if anyone has some experience growing them here please share you findings


Dream and tropic sun (la habra sun)

Of course i posted this in the wrong area
Please move to general discussions

I had a few local guys buy the first week of fruit.
I have around 12lbs of fruit so I can do 2lbs of abiu with some cac or peach cobbler mangos for $50 including shipping.
I can only ship to states that allow it. Sorry CA.
I can only do 6 boxes these week.
Pm me if interested. First come first serve.

This is the second year I'm getting a large crop in my abiu tree.
I noticed this last year as well but after vertical branch snapped all the fruit that formed exposed to the midday sun had brown scalds on it. Doesn't seem to affect the flavor that much but it misshapes the fruit. I don't scoop it right up to the brown scalds though.


My tree grows very lanky so that doesn't help, anyone else has this problem?

Been picking mangos for the last few days and I saw this guy on the tree.
I'm sure the recent rains helped.
I know in the true tropics they get bigger but this is the biggest I got from my tree so far


Mods: move to discussion section please

Hey guys I've been noticing a few guava type worms in a few of my caimito this year.
Last year the fruit were pretty clean.
Anyone else get this problem? Are there solutions?

I have around 40 red jaboticabas in square one gallon pots.
Selling them for 25 each. If you want a tray worth ( I'll sell it for $15 each, ($120) total.





Local pickup only

As the title said I'm selling red hybrid and blue (vex.) jaboticaba.
That red are from my tree the blue are from f&s Park.



Heres a typical shot. The reds don't like my city water on their leaves so I plan to pot them up and put them on drip.

I'm selling them in a set of 4 (mix and match) for $50. Shipping included.
Can't ship to CA or other states that don't allow it.
Pm me if interested.

I should have enough to fill a few boxes.
