Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: For Sale: Lucuma Scions/Cuttings
« on: June 12, 2025, 02:29:41 PM »I did have a question for anyone who was able to root the lucuma cuttings.
If you had success, can you tell me how difficult it was, and about what your success rate was for cuttings you tried to root. I plan to root all the left over cuttings that don't sell this weekend and want to know if it is easy to root or difficult like a guava cutting.
When I go back to see the Sylvia tree to do more air layers, I may get some cuttings for people if anyone is having success rooting them.
Lucuma cuttings are being rooted?!

For anyone that has an issue with your order, please reach out and don’t react like Iceman. I can assure you that I’ve eaten countless beans off this tree along with many others and I’ve never heard them described as Iceman has described them. But I would imagine that most of us fruit growers understand there is variability within fruits, and unfortunately, I can’t sample the fruit before I send it. What I can do is assure you that I do my best to determine when it is ready to pick and that they are cut fresh and shipped so that they arrive the same way that I packaged them. I appreciate all of your support and will continue to do my best when offering anything to you guys.
Thank you!
Thank you!

« on: June 04, 2025, 07:02:22 PM »Not saying they taste bad, im saying that they have no taste. Paying $40 for something that has no taste is off-putting and disappointing. I guess what was done wrong was selling fruit with no taste and ignoring my private message about my bad experience, offering no resolution or even concern. I love all fruits, that actually have flavor. Same goes for my coworkers that tried them as well.I sent you a private message about it and gave you 24 hours to respond giving you a chance before putting my feedback here, but that did not happen. I left the rest of the beans in the box incase you wanted them back, but I did not hear from you. I saw that you were active here all day, so there were chances to get back to me, but crickets. To be honest, these cannot be considered a treat. There is no sweetness or flavor at all, not enjoyable, and $40 down the drain. Some people try to make a bad situation right(which is why I pmed you), but there was not even a response to my message. Ah wellI'd suggest holding off of purchasing these ice cream beans folks. I received mine yesterday and they have no flavor and no sweetness. Waste of my $40 😞. I even brought some to work so my coworkers can try them(they've never had ice cream beans) and they all said they were bland with no taste 🤦🏽. It's not my taste buds that are off
Would you like me to try them first before sending to you? You gave me 24 hours to respond, really? You didn’t like the fruits. It’s as simple as that. I sent you perfectly fine pods and they arrived in perfect condition. What more do you want from me?
Lol wow, first off ice cream beans aren’t bursting with flavor. They are mild little treats and I’m not sure anyone sits there and eats a bowl of them. You’re obviously free to speak your mind but jeez, just shut me down like that… awesome.
Was there something that I did wrong here? I sent you a perfect box of ice cream beans. You’re acting like I’ve done something wrong here. I’ve had many people eat them and enjoy them. Just because you didn’t like them doesn’t mean you should act like this. I eat different fruit all the time and obviously some I like and some I don’t.

Thanks to everyone that have purchased. I have accepted two pre-orders and will not take anymore until I fill those orders in the next week or two. I will update once I harvest the next pods.

I assume you mean species as I’ve never seen varieties of ice cream beans. It’s likely fueillei.

I just harvested these fat, juicy ice cream bean pods, which filled the small flat rate to the brim, and I’m about to head to the post office today.
$40 shipped
Grown in Corona, CA
Tree is super vigorous and hardy, and seeds are usually poly-embryonic and have pretty much 100% germination.

I had two and just fried them the other day in my greenhouse when the second shade cover blew off. I the larger one is still alive but the leaves are fried. I still hope the second comes back but less likely.

Jeff Crawford, who owns the Polynesian Fruit Stand, aka 7_heads, is a joke. He sells seedling trees labeled as known cultivars and when I inquired with him about it he got all defensive and started to insult me.

When will you have vermillion available again?
Seed or scion? The tree has been growing kind of weak recently. It suckers so much that it doesn't seem to have energy for the top. It did have some root issues where it blew over in the wind once and kind of broke at the ground. I need to graft it on to some seedlings here to ensure I keep it around.
Scion
It was missing from my last order
