Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Painters Cherilata.
« on: February 08, 2025, 01:58:24 PM »
Are you growing any Atemoya’s , Reticulata’s or Hybrids that produce sweet good flavored fruit? It seem’s like lack of winter heat/ low overnight temps or the wide daily temperature swing in general is a limiting factor in properly ripening these in CA.
Timing of fruit set could be a factor as well. Perhaps Marks ripens sweeter due to less of a daily temperature swing closer to the coast.

I have some fruit that set on their own this year.  I think mine are ready to pick.  I really wasnt that impressed with the flavor last year.

Oh thry are sweet it just isnt a good flavor to me.  Regular cherimoya tastes better.  My atemoyas get super high brix, I just dont like the flavor and texture.  Again regular cherimoya tastes much better IMO.  Just my preference, I dont think theres any issue with the weather limiting how they ripen. 

The cherilata is not bad but I would guess most people would agree a good pierce or any other good cherimoya puts it to shame.  Cherilata looks nice and has a catchy name but blind taste test I would wager money it will lose.

I will try them again and give an honest result. I have a bunch of thrm on a tree now.

2 for 5$

I grow this tree to use seeds for my own orchard.  I have started a bunch of seeds for myself and have more leftover fruit that I will not be using.  I don't want to throw them away so I am offering them for sale.  And yes the price is a bit high but it is not worth my time to try and sell these for less.  Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks for looking.  Send me a PM please if you want to order seeds.

Hello, welcome!  It needs more heat and light.  Avocado doesn't make a good house plant in Colorado.  Actually, not a good house plant anywhere really.

Yes we have rattlesnakes.  Have come close to stepping on them way too many times.  You just need to watch where you walk at all times.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: PBX to reduce environmental stress?
« on: February 01, 2025, 08:15:29 PM »
I have a big bag of surround wp but I dont think it works as well as shade cloth.  However it is a lot easier to put on a large amount of trees vs shade cloth.  Obviously shade cloth is a huge pain to setup but living in AZ, I could see it being worth the effort.

I don't know what PBX is but pretty much the only way to lower stress on your plants is with overhead shade cloth.  50% will work wonders for you.  And you can plant things like banana around the other trees to help shade and create a canopy.  And lots of mulch and water.  You want to create a dense forest like environment that is shaded and wet.

Paypal doesnt take a cut when you use the friend option. 

I really dont want to be a zelle or venmo bro but all the hip kids have that crap.

I have a credit union also, no zelle

Actually PP still did for me, that’s why I stated that. But w/e.. I agree Venmo is a joke but Zelle is easy. I never realized some people were ok with just sending cash in the mail! Even better!! 🤣 That’s great news to know for the future!!

My kids get cash in the mail for christmas every year.

Paypal definitely does not take a cut if you use the friend option.  If you have a business account they always take a cut though.  So don't use a business.  Your friends and family are allowed to gift you up to 19 grand a year each.

I'm going to sell the cuttings in a month or 2 when the trees start getting ready to do a spring push and the buds are ready. 

We have been eating the guavas the last few days.  My daughter thinks they are great.

I am in the same boat ( Paypal, cash or money order/cashiers check). As much as personal privacy has gone out the window , I want to hang onto whatever little shreds I can.

Oh no its legit venmo.  Thats how it works with venmo.  Its not a scam.  You just have to setup a venmo account to get the money.  Anyway I sent the guy his money back and closed my venmo account. 

He can use paypal if he wants to pay ne or send me a check or cash.

Smart

I have used PP in most of my online transactions and don’t plan to ditch it anytime soon. I don’t have Venmo or Zelle (yet). If a vendor gives me the option to use cc or PP, I would pick PP the majority of the time. Call me old fashioned if you will, but I go by the mantra: If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! And besides, PP is just frikking easy to use, a straight forward way of making online purchases…

Exactly

"By default, Venmo displays all your transactions publicly, meaning anyone on the internet can see who you paid and how much, unless you change your privacy settings to "Friends Only" or "Private" in your account settings; this is considered a potential privacy concern as many users may not realize their transactions are visible to everyone by default.
Key points about Venmo privacy:
Default setting is public:
When you make a transaction on Venmo, it's initially set to "Public" which means anyone can see it.
Changing privacy settings:
You can adjust your privacy settings to "Friends Only" (visible only to your Venmo friends) or "Private" (only visible to you and the person you're transacting with).
Accessing privacy settings:
To change your privacy settings, go to your profile on Venmo and navigate to the "Privacy" section within your settings."....

Seriously?

They sent me money and I didnt have an account so it send sends you an email saying setup venmo yo claim the money. 

Its a cluster.  I'm annoyed.  Now I have to try and get my bank linked but its not working.  All I want to do is refund this guy and close this venmo account. 

My favorite is when poeple send me cash in an envelope.  You guys are the absolute best.  Much rather get cash in the mail than have another goofy paypal type account that wants all my personal info and shares my transactions with the world.  What a joke.

I dont know, someone sent me money on venmo and I dont have venmo so Im setting it up to claim the money but it feels intrusive to me.  I dont want them importing my contacts and I am having trouble linking my credit union. 

Im pretty annoyed right now. 

All I want to do is refund this guy his money but they don't have that on venmo. 

Also I have no way to click on that guy and send him his money back.  I can put his name in and send but I have no idea if its the right person.  This guy is not someone I know.

Why do people want to use Venmo instead of paypal?  It's the same thing owned by the same company but for some reason people want to use Venmo instead of paypal?  Am I just old and lame or what?  I just want to use paypal and not get venmo and zelle.
