The Tropical Fruit Forum

Getting orders out this Monday!
thanks for the support! most of the seeds are germinating and as always I crack several open to make sure they are nice and purple on the inside

Sold out of t-15.
And only have 5 t-8 left.
Thanks for the support and have a happy thanksgiving!

These first two pictures are of the white sapucaia. With all phitrantha types, they are generally unstable from seed resulting in variants like these with different color fruits instead of the normal red/purple color.
This one is white scarlet. A variation of scarlet that produces white fruits. The same growth habit as regular scarlet, so very precocious, just now it has white fruits instead.

T-8 also known as Tutti Fruity. This one has a lot of promise as many of the seeds are undeveloped/aborted, leading to better flesh to seed ratio.

T-13 also known as brilliant star. This is a variant of the phitrantha cv. pink rosa. The fruit have pronounced ridges hence the name star...They are also very precocious fruiting around the same time as a scarlet would. This has phitrantha parentage, hence the quick fruiting time.

Phitrantha Rosa. Nice phitrantha with a nice red skin. Has a nice sweet taste and will bear fruit in clusters.

T-15. This one is relatively new and also is a phitrantha type. This one shows off gigantic leaves and will fruit relatively quick also. This one was released in the US rather recently and is still extremely rare.

There's a native wild one that grows all the way up here.
It's good tasting just like any other passionfruit.
Super cool to see them up north like that

Send some cuttings! =)

I'll keep you in mind

My favorite so far has been the hybrid - chempejack...
Cempedak was a bit too strong for me.
Jacks all vary in taste, but a solid one that is crunchy and has low latex is always good.

Thanks for the quality plants Dan! All the Dans I have met here have been super cool!
Very spikey...it adds a cool look to the collection.
Can't wait to try the fruits!

Dude this is so cool

With all my involvement in the community with tropical fruits, I feel like I am in a position to give back lol. My goal is to create entertaining, but educational content.

Thanks for all the support😀😀😀
I owe you all ☝️
Best,
Ryan

I can graft you one on Montana if you want to wait...
Ready next spring.

Congrats to Aaron!
The number was 50.
Contest is over.

Did you get rid of a bunch of varieties? In your CRFG presentation, you said you had over 75.

I have 80...
But the first winner didn't want the plant, so I had him pick a random number so other people could still guess.

Shoulda stayed closer to my first guess of 51 haha. Out of all your jabos ryan what one stands out as special or more beautiful than the rest? (Non variegated)

Hey Bill!
For sure one of my favorites has to be malacachetta. Super beautiful growth.
There is also another one that's a new release called plinia sp. willow with super narrow and long leaves.
Also, spirito with the black flushes and pingo de mel with it's epic nature.
Now, while my jabo collection is decent sized, there are many others with double, triple, or even quadruple what I have
It gives me motivation to stay on the grind while being happy with what I have too.
It's a delicate balance

The idea of using water to help heat the gh is a nobel idea, but in practice it doesn't make a difference unless you have a hecka ton of it. Then at that point, you're running out of space.
I got 6 barrels, but in the end, they just took up extra space.

So our winner has graciously decided to give up the gift.
First person to guess the number he said between 20 and 80 will win the plant.
Guessing is still on. You can enter your new guesses here now.
