What a lovely sight, Simon! I've wondered about pollination from other myrica species as well; let's hope so and find out.

Great pics and updates everyone! Trees are going even crazier around here now. Still looking for fruit set.
Was up around Lake Okeechobee this weekend, saw some mango trees in different states of blooming. A couple of tees had what appears to be cold burnt panicles, while others with fresher flowers looked healthy. Several trees had some pest issues, while a few looked very clean. Will be interesting to see how their season turns out.

Super awesome post! Thank you for sharing. =)
Nice to know we have several trees with nutritious leaves, and know of more to procure now as well.

It's pretty creamy and rich.
I'm not great at discerning cado taste, kind of subtle to me. But definitely can tell when eating a nice one. I've really like ON. Tree has started to produce finally, definitely a keeper. Just hope the squirrels will share.

Thank you for responding, will be interesting to hear once there are any other fruiting female trees other than pre mentioned
Thank you mick
Guaranteed big island when the time comes. Hopefully Oahu and Kauai also.
Add South Florida to the "pre mentioned" sites! Give me 10 years or so.
Such a beautiful plant, different from all my other garcinias.
Great deal on seeds, not easy to find.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Why is my Giant Granadilla flower petals not showing color?
« on: February 13, 2023, 10:29:06 PM »
You probably got a hybrid or variation, but hard to say. Looks a lot like the flowers on the giant granadilla we grew a while back, don't think it was red either.

Since Coco Cream grows vigorously, 1/4 - 1/3 might be about right some years.

Sprinklers are fine as long as you aren't spraying low hanging flowers or fruit, or if you don't care about the lower fruit

You do not want extra water spraying on flowers and fruit.
In addition to limiting sprinkler use in general, I block sprinklers when mangoes are flowering and fruiting, so only the base of trees get sprayed.
Drip irrigation would be better. I usually hand water if the rain doesn't provide enough, during flowering or fruiting times.

If it's really CCr, you will love it fliptop.
Leaf smell can vary, especially at different times of the year. Post fruit pics when it gets going, they have a look to them.

Wow, that CCr seedling inflorescence bundle looks sweet!
Summer 2022, chopped about 1/3+ of my CCr to graft other stuff, most of which did not take. Now, CC is blooming. Wish hadn't chopped so much.

Dosing may finish it off.
Root system is suspect, and can't tell for sure but think potting media and mulch may not be right.

Check out p. decaisneana and p. laurifolia. Both are floral and sweet enough, with no acidity. P. nitida is reportedly very good as well, have yet to try that one personally.

Thanks Abimael and Nate!
Seems more and more garcinias keep popping up, haven't met one I didn't like. Might have to squeeze a few more in =)
The de bicos are doing great!
