The Tropical Fruit Forum

I put some geffner cuttings in cloning gel, hardwood rooting hormone (hormone , and root magic mycorrhizae and they have all developed root nodes, should I expect them to root? One even started pushing leaves

Is hard pruning the entire tree and spraying it the only way to cure it? the tree is about 5-6 meters tall and bushy. there is just no way I can spray it with a regular copper spray bottle without blinding myself with all the chemicals. Who can my parents call to get it cured? We plan on adding another mango tree but we lose hundreds of fruits with this disease so there's no point now.

Trying to speed through my journey of collecting annona by getting my seedling's rootstocks ready, but most of their stems are slender and short, the shortness isn't a bother, how do I get the stems thicker other than just waiting for them to grow on their own? How old is the right age for an Annona seedling to be grafted onto?

Unfortunately I don’t have enough rootstock to make use of the amount of scions I need to buy to obtain a yellow birula. If anyone has one scion or some seeds that they are willing to sell to me it would be greatly appreciated! If not I’ll just come back around next pruning season, should have more mature rootstock by then!

I made a post earlier but I can’t find it anymore. I just want seeds or seedlings for these annona Specied that don’t cost a crazy amount of $. I’d like 3 seeds of each or 1 seedling of each

What are some delicious fruit, whether rare, tropical, or temperate, that I can grow in pots (of any size) in south Florida zone 10?
So far this is my collection, I wouldn't mind the whole thing being Annona but id like more variety.
(All seedlings)
Soursop
Rollinia
Ilama seeds germinating
Lisa atemoya seedlings
Temoylata seeds germinating
Cherimoya seeds (hopefully will crack soon)
Sweetsop/sugar apple
Apples
over 30 varieties of dragon fruit
passionfruit
Jaboticaba
lychee
Mango
Also, I like fruit that are creamy, sweet, jelly or jam-like texture.

(non-seedling)
Copious amounts of pineapples

(Trees I  want) (unsure if pot-friendly, nor good pricing)
Ice cream bean
grafted lychee
cacao

Feel free to suggest fruit plants/trees that grow well in pots please!

I want to have my whole yard filled with fruit trees, unfortunately, I don't "own" a home, just a teen. So I have to keep my plants potted in my backyard. I also plan to move them to my own home in the future if I'm blessed enough to reach that time.

(if my parents like some of the fruit and want to keep a few trees I wouldn't mind)

Not looking for anything specific really, maybe sugarlata or some sort of reticulata hybrid or just a normal reticulata. Other than that I'm just looking for hybrid genetics.

can anyone sell me some Asimina Triloba seedlings? im bad at Annona seed germination

All my seeds in cactus soil and peat moss have cracked. I did a few second dip in a copper plant disease (killer?) spray because they had began to have white patches of mold because  of my improper germination methods. Since then the seeds have continued to crack and swell but also developed blue shards around them all though I’ve washed and wiped them off after sitting them in the solution for a few seconds. Are they bound to die or am witnessing them germinate?

I've recently acquired some Temoylata and Lisa Pride seeds from a great guy, RyanScions. The temoylata are small but hard while the Lisa Prides are larger, rounder, and thicker than soursop seeds. How would I go about germinating these seeds? Please look at my experiment plan and give advice where ever necessary, ex. should I soak them longer? (Yes/No) , etc

Ga3 tests
I plan to do these tests. All seeds are currently soaking in these mixtures 5 seeds of each,
3 of each seed- 100ppm of Gibberellic Acid Group- soaked for 22 hours
3 of each seed- 300PPM of Gibberellic Acid Group- soaked for 22 hours
And another group with a few drops of 100ppm Gibberellic Acid with 1 of each seed in Perlite and pumice ( will dry out quickly in south FL heat, no need to remove, I think the acid concentration is also too low to harm the seeds)

After they finish soaking today I plan on removing the seeds, grouping them to them back together ( all temoylatas and Lisa Prides separated), and putting them in a Ziploc bag with peat moss outside) ( I've only ever germinated Annona with peat moss)


I appreciate you reading, Thanks for your time and Help.
