The Tropical Fruit Forum

Sorry for late post but yes Asimina triloba, they are tough plant, wow that's interesting Kevin, 8.5 beat's me!

I'm a C person in fact my wife keeps threatening me with a intervention! But as years rack up on this body I finding it's easier to stop planting so much in the ground but plants in containers that's were I need the intervention!    

Sorry to hear of your loss and water damage Florida members glad hear you all safe!!!

Mike, just beautiful trees!!! Now how's the taste?

fyliu, yeah Harvey was one of the guys that went on that trip also Jack Swords who also posts on this forum along with John V. from San Francisco area and Bob H. from San Diego who helped put the trip together. What made the trip special was that Bob Chambers was able to meet us there and decipher his grove maps for us a little. Talk about mapping and tagging trees was a bit of a nightmare!

Wow Cyclonenat, you are pushing the envelope of growing down there in Invercargil. Past through there on vacation many years back very nice little town. I would sure protect that white sapote come winter time and needs wind shelter for sure. I've got thirty plus varieties on maybe 12 or so trees and I'm on the Central Coast of Calif. 2-3 miles inland from ocean with cool summer growing conditions. My trees grow well but not like they do inland more where there  is heat. So fruit production is not great but we do get some but wish it was more. Endeed up with some many varieties because I went with some other rare fruiters a few years ago down to De luce area in nothern San Deigo area to old CRFG member Bob Chambers White Sapote groves where he has 40 + varieties growing, our quest was to help save alot of these varieties because Bob is getting up in age and future of groves is uncertain. So we all collected as many as possible in one day and shared wood with many calif. rare fruit growers in hopes of keeping these varieties alive. So, any way take good care of that white sapote and best of luck growing    

Wow, Wow, Wow thanks for very nice video your have a beautiful place and quite the list of tropicals. Makes me wish I lived some where warmer.

Congrats Rodney, I think you've got it down, now for the wait

Oscar, here is Arroyo Grande, Ca. actually I'm 2-miles as crow fly behind Oceano/Pismo Dunes.

Steven thanks for the cool pics but I must say that those kei apples are to sour for me but supposed to make great jam!I've got some older kei apples growing that I started from seed but no females they make great hedge. I wish I could like them more but not in this life time.

Yes Oscar, We've known it was on back burner for a few years now it looks like it's going to happen !!! can't wait.

BMc, do you know anything about Manilkara discolor I have a few seedlings in the ground but there very slow growers!
