OK, taste report on Rogers P.R. Canistel fruit, I was sent two fruits to taste and we tasted yesterday, excellent fruit best Canistel I've ever eaten you can eat skin and all very creamy texture moist with sweet potato type of taste very pleasing after taste we give it 4-thumbs up!! Fruits on smaller side from fruits we tried in Hawaii but not dry texture at all highly recommend this variety! Thanks Kaz, for sharing

I think of all the Proteaceae family Macadamia can tolerate some phosphorus better than most in family but have killed flowering proteas by putting horse poop on them so, be aware!

My 'White Jadas' take about two years from sticking crowns! In G.H.

Macadamias are pretty easy just don't give them any phosphorus fertilizer because they are in Proteaceae family and phosphorus can kill them!

Nice looking graft Kevin, keep up the great work!

Wow Carolyn, looks promising I would but more rooting hormone and wrap back up! Maybe wrap tighter to try to keep earwigs out!

That's one big bummer Adam, the gov. whether city, county or state or cheeto and his merry band give a shit about people!! Unless your rich$$$$$

kaz, sounds like you came onto and amazing rootstock good find! And super soil wow, that's a special thing to have.

Kevin, property looks amazing and I assume the Lychee tree is in sheltered spot? Love the Selma looks, I supposedly had that variety but never has that color and I was always suspicious!

I've been growing cherimoyas for over 25yrs. and I hand pollinated when my trees were younger but now with older trees and multi-grafted I don't hand pollinate any more and get plenty enough fruit set without hand pollination. Some come misshaped but over 50% are full size fruits. I have clusters of 2-in one hole with 10 total in one area another area with 4-trees close together in two separate area's but areas close to each other about twenty feet away. Season was late this year just eating last of cherimoyas now!

Great job Kevin, once again you beat me out getting Wax jambu to take on Rose apple, I've tried two years in a row and this years not growing yet :-\I don't know if my trees are to big and need to cut back more before putting on graft or what! Concrats

I've been grafting for many years and this happens on some varieties of fruiting trees, Mulberry does this to me so, what you did by putting para-film or buddy tape is best way to treat! Good job! On diecious trees I graft in Jan.-Feb. and usually up wrap grafts by July first but sometimes for what ever reason healing on grafts takes longer!

Very nice set up of trees will be quite the bountiful yard in years to come!
