Tropical Fruit Discussion / Guavaberry or Rumberry
« on: May 25, 2012, 11:16:52 AM »
Google on one of those names to get the scientific name or more info.  Anyone growing this tree?  I have a couple in the yard but have never had the fruit.  Is it worth it?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Barbados Cherry flowering
« on: May 18, 2012, 07:38:07 AM »
I've been getting a ton of rain lately and the Barbados Cherry responds with heavy flowering.  This bush never gets watered by me as it is in a spot I can't reach. Thus, it is not as healthy as it should be. But, it is about 8 feet high and has weathered the elements on its own.  Hurricane, freeze, major drought...and flood.   Its a tough cookie and I'm surprised it is still alive.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Wrap your willy...

If I want any papaya I have to wrap it with paper.  Otherwise as most fruit growers know, out in the open and papaya gets attacked by every living creature.








Blemish free.  I left another papaya unbagged next to this one and it was full of grubs when I cut into it. Another one was taken by roof rats.  Hopefully this one will be good. 

How do you know when papaya are ready to pick?
