Plant some seedlings or seeds next to the trunk .Then graft the seedlings to the marcott tree in a year to give it a good root system. Fire : )

I had some bunches for the first time this year.I liked the fruit but it is only about 8 oz fruit which is okay for me.A lucky few had the chance to buy it from me.Nice orangey overtone and creamy.There was an early crop and a later crop on the fruiting tree.I had some uneven ripening on the later crop.Might be the tree is being pushed hard by a large rootstock as i topworked a big old tree.

"I thought inadequate chilling led to buds that develop leaves and flowers. So low fruit production not poor fruit quality?"
Also leads to off season fruit and poor quality.

They do not self regulate.Yes a branch can over load but it can also be that the fruit is not fully ripe your pics show unripe fruit is this the current condition?Not enough chilling leading to mixed signal at flowering = poor fruit

I fruited it in outdoor tree house very well with some trimming.I would cover the structure in winter it was 16 feet tall. Fruited very well but i branched it early in its life with the aid of keikigrow.I lost the tree in hurricane Charley 2004 along with large Mangosteen trees such is life.I had a good strain it was melting and delicious.: )

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Fruit trees I gave up on
« on: March 18, 2024, 09:43:32 AM »
Don and Katie Chafin of Going Bananas had those longans 20 years ago
This is an interesting topic lol. There's been a few trees where I just completely gave up on.
Around 20 years ago I got 2 longan airlayer varieties from Florida at a time where usually u could only find Kohala here. It was Sri Champoo and Edaw. It was directly from the man that first brought it from Thailand and introduce it to Florida. For the life of me, I can't remember his name but if anyone knows, let me know. In all, that time I was never able to get a single ripe fruit from them, blooms profusely, but barely held fruit and when it did the fruit never quite ripen. To this day, I still don't know why as I hear other had successes in California. Well I topworked both trees about 4 years ago. I get fruit from those top work now, ahah.
Another was ilama. Maybe 15 years ago i obtained some seeds. Babied the few seedlings that I got. Got 1 to live. Grafted that seedling branch onto my cherimoya. Took a few years but it flower. It was a pain to pollinate as it didn't accept any other Anona pollens. When I did get fruit, it tasted like a sweet potato to me. But kept waiting for it to get better or maybe I thought I did something wrong. Gave up on it a couple years ago and topworked the branch. I just leave it at just bad luck and poor variety ahah.
