Parfianka and desertini should be your best ones to grow. No idea if they will fruit at your location but if they dont then likely none of them will.
They all seem to fruit at the same time also. I am growing all the ones you listed except Granada.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: How's Your SoCal Lychee and Longan Trees Doing This Year?
« on: January 14, 2025, 02:49:16 PM »Ok, phewf. I was worried for my new landlord's trees. This is the first time they have flowered for him... 30 years after planting. Must have been seedlings. Really curious how they turn out.
Any recommendations other than regular water to ensure fruit set?
They like plenty of mulch and water. And also acidic soil. Try sulfer, iron sulfate, that type of thing.

Make sure your trapline traps are triggering properly. Sometimes the little part the spring hooks too is pushed too far forward and it can interfere with the trigger.
Also add some nice green weeds or a carrot to the trap and then fully block off the hole the trap is in to block the light.
Also find a tunnel and put a trap in each direcrion helps.

Nice dorian. Sharwil is such a great avocado. Possibly the GOAT.

I dont think you need to worry about the A and B stuff. Its not going to make a huge difference.

I had a nishikawa tree and it was nice. They are dense and oily but the peel has a lot of grit and it has a kind of plain flavor. My main issue was the shape and structure of the tree which spread a lot and was too lanky for here. Gets burnt too easily. We need compact and bushy trees that protect themselves from the sun here.

Grow sharwil, its better than nishikawa. Nishikawa is good but not on the same level as sharwil. Also nishikawa is spreading tree and will not produce well on a compact tree in a GH.

7.5$ per pound plus postage.
Ship to CA only unless you want to pay for expedited shipping out of state. This is only so the fruit arrive in good shape.
I do not have a lot of fruit left so if I do not respond, the fruit are all sold.
thanks!

Check out this seedling mango. Not sure which kind it is but the mangos are 2.5lbs. I thought it was a spirit of 76 seed maybe but I looked those up and it says regular size fruit.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: My squirrel solution??
« on: December 24, 2024, 06:01:49 PM »
Out of curiosity I googled squirrel meat. Theres a lot of country people in the US eating it. I would give it a try if someone served it.
As I typed this I asked my dad who is sitting here next to me if he ever ate squirrel. He said hell yes we used to eat fox squirrel and rabbit almost year round.

If you relocate them, they will just breed somewhere else and move back in.
Theres probably some other guy with a wife on the other side of town doing the same thing and secretly dropping his off in your area.
