my goals for 2026 are to get more grafted avocado's into ground this year and other eugenias and to try and maintain 2.4 acres which is getting harder with vintage age ;)
also looking forward to CRFG festival of fruit put on by Orange county chapter this year in June 8)

Docky wow, all those plants on 1-acre man it must be getting tight or will be but very, very cool! 8)

They look like nigra to me, but it's hard to be sure from just immature leaves like those. But I'm about 90% sure.

I'm with drymifolia, just immature leaves get short fruit buds when mature!

Seedlings of Qinmi no 9, there was a lot of variability in growth from the seedlings.  I potted up the 12 selections with the best root systems even if the plant itself was small because I also want to select for a compact plant with short internodes that can be container grown.  After they went through winter, I selected the 5 best to continue growing out.






Janet, that is amazing that your

I only selected one of the smaller plants to grow out that had impressive root growth





Two of my seedling selections of Qinmi no 9 are starting to fruit, following pics are fruit from each seedling







Another seedling selection of Qinmi no 9 that has huge leaves 10 inches across, hasn’t flowered yet

Janet, that's amazing that your vine is that old your soil must be perfect for it because normal life is around 6-8yrs, My friend (Bob Holzinger)who used to work with Patrick Worley when he was in San Diego area told me years ago that Patrick had said that there was no true 'Fredrick' around any more only his old partner Rick Cain had a vine as far has he knew.
I need to brix test some of my fruit because some of my red or Purple types have been very sweet to me this year. One I had the other day might be Jorge O.- big red or big red from Passiflora Int. Society seed bank. Had to stop buying from P.S.I. I have way to many vines now and only want keep hardy vines that can be grown outside.

Janet, I would be interested in both seeds.
thanks,

That's cool Kevin, wonder why they call it p. oblongata is it because of leaves, doesn't look like fruit is oblong?

Fruit is definitely oblong, you can see it has a bit of a protrusion at the top.
I see it now after closer look ;)

Not normal looking plant could be some kind of fungus!

Carolyn, do you have THE SMALL ARGENTINE ants ? You don't get soft or hard brown scale on your plants? That's my problem!!
