Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Air-Pots for sale (can ship)

Sucks to hear about your loss.
These will be very good for people in humid wet areas like FL or HI.
In the drier places, you need to stay on top of watering...Even mine dry out all the time :P :P :P
Great deal, someone should snatch these up!

Sugar apple doesn't like winters.
Annonas are doable. Personally I'd get stuff that's grafted onto annonas montana or glabra.
They have water and cold tolerance.
It's not difficult to fruit at all.
just long run the best is grafted.
Sugar apple doesn't like the cold -  that much I know. I have a cherimoya, but I recall Adam Shafran of Flying Fox Fruits saying even he has a hard time getting it to fruit that's why I'm looking into the more precocious sugar apple instead.

Cherimoy doesn't fruit in FL due to several reasons.
You can grow it up north if you know what you're doing.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Soursop fruiting in container?
« on: November 07, 2023, 06:46:26 PM »
There was an article long long long ago about someone fruiting a soursop from seed in Russia I think.
Took him 14 years.

It was either 76 or 80. Also he posted in a pervipus discussion a couple weeks ago that he had 75+ varieties. Then during the giveaway he said someone was 1 number away from being correct after i had posted 75 and 81. So close but not close enought :(

"Some of you were" not "one of you was," so there had to be a guess on either side. That left: 6, 13, 16, 68, and 80.
Correct. Someone said 79 and someone said 81
Congrats on winning the challenge! I remember you won a previous one also LOL.

I even put my jackfruit in ground in greenhouse and it got way too big.
Don't try with jackfruit.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Free Yangmei Giveaway FINISHED
« on: November 06, 2023, 06:01:20 PM »
Hey all, I figured it's time for another giveaway.
I don't want my rose red yangmei.
It's another rare one from overseas...But, I am fairly certain it has RKN.
I will prune it back and ship you the plant (Scions are for my friend).
But I don't want to sell something defective.Well it's not defective. But why buy something with RKN?
So I was thinking on how I could structure a giveaway. I was thinking I'd post a math problem and say first one to solve it gets the tree. But nowadays, you can just googles the problem and get an answer. No fun. And you guys have already guessed my ACT scores from last time ;D . After some thinking how about you guys try to guess the number of jaboticaba varieties that I have.
There we go.
You are allowed 2 guesses per forum member. Guessing ends on 11/10.
You must guess the exact number in order to win. If no one guesses it, I will keep the tree. But if no one guesses the exact number, I will send the person who got the closest a tree or rare jabo scion of their choice.
It's 100% free. No shipping fees you need to pay.

Have fun! Also quick life update - next semester I will be taking soil science. Pretty excited for the class.

Thanks everyone, i just checked snd compare the sabara, it does look more like the pingo de mel! Kinda bummed about it but the same time im happy about it. I guess ill wait and see.
Pingo de Mel is probably the best variety you get lol.
you hear of the orchard in Brazil with 42,000 of them?
It's commercially grown in Brazil.

So something like that in the cauliflora/jaboticaba species type.

« on: November 05, 2023, 08:37:12 PM »
I've seen a lot in the Carribean Islands. Not much in FL, but I know there's a few in the Keys.
The leaves are used in aquariums as they are beneficial for shrimps and stuff and release tannins.

Everyone has been using hombroniana to my knowledge. I could've sworn though that there are two distinct types of seashore mangosteen. Different var.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: For northern gardeners don’t forget to bring your plants inside
« on: November 02, 2023, 09:16:41 PM »
Just almost wrecked my whole collection. I thought the heater was working, but it was not turning on and needed to be reset. Didn't check on the plants last few days as it was a busy week with school.
Well I just found that out, so it went to around 27 in the greenhouse. Everything is ok, just a few minor burns on the mangos. The madruno got sharted on though, such a shame, I'll probably have to wait another year till it fruits now.
Everything else was ok though so it was really good RNG.
Annonas and even rambutans were ok. Lost a crop of starfruit, but nothing bad.
I think I also watered heavily the days before so everything is all good.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Natural History Publishers of Borneo will release a book on Artocarpus in the near future.
Don't even get started on garcinias  :-[
So annoying trying to find out the right name for them.
Even the Achacha which everyone calls g.humilis is not that.
Even with the seashore mangosteen either Garcinia hombroniana or celebica? Or there could be two distinct species.
Who knows. And it's even worse when we get to the yellow bumpy garcinias.
[/quote]

for clarity not to get you started the achacha and other garcinia are dioecious meaning ill need to have more plants to get fruit?
is euginia also like this specifically pitangatuba

i am a beginner with these and looking to soak up any information i can find

i have kwai muk and looking to get lakoocha am i okay with one of those or are they also dioecious

thanks

Achacha is not diecious.
The achacha everyone knows is not garcinia humilis. The real garcinia humilis is native to one of the carribean island I believe and is really rare.
Kwai muk and lakoocha are not diecious either.
Eugenias are not diecious, but they will take more flowering times and will benefit from multiple plants early on.
Some garcinias are diecious like luc's and maybe seashore mangosteen. I still can't determine if seashore is or not. I've heard conflicting reports.
Imbe is also diecious. But sometimes you'll get a self pollinating one, it just depends on the luck. So best bet is to source offspring or grafts from complete garcinia trees.

Such a shame that there is confusion on the scientific name...it is now a. parvus when researchers in Indonesia named it last year.

This is no such shame. In an age of rapid dissemination of information, there is no excuse for people to not get with the program.

The issue was sorted in 2020 and the researchers were Americans, who had to deal with mislabeled/mixed materials in herbaria. They used phylogenetics to put this beyond doubt, I think only a clerical error could result in some unexpected change now.

The Artocarpus genus is blessed to have such competent researchers in Gardner and Zerega. The real shame is Garcinia. Sure, a bit harder due to the dioeciousness, but the researchers are duds in my book. I'd sooner have faith in Patrick Swayze than Patrick Sweeney.

Natural History Publishers of Borneo will release a book on Artocarpus in the near future.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Tips for finding a "Greenhouse sitter"????
« on: October 31, 2023, 08:21:40 PM »
I usually hit up my friends.
My friend Oatmeal learned well and did a great job watering my plants and even took care of $500 worth of jaboticabas I had shipped to him while I was gone for a month.
Now, he is not perfect either and I lost a rare yangmei, but who cares anyways? Yangmei is so overated. Out of my 100s of plants, I only lost that one.
So, I'd just hit up a good neighbor or friend that you know well and can trust. Make sure they are smart! Show them around and tell them what to exactly do.
Do them a good favor and you should be on good terms.

Jabo, I have a bit of a temp gradient, by the North window goes down to 45f at night and cloudy December days, the rest stays above 65. Right now I’m focused on disease free mango trees, no pests or fungus and healthy growth. Once I have that totally figure out I may try to get them in sync.
I think we could conclude that the temps are not low enough. But don't stress it, it's always a learning game, and it took me a few years to get everything figured out mango wise.
It's ok to go towards 45 in the greenhouse. Less heating bill and the cold helps the plants flower also.

Not June Plum.
It's white sapote.
June Plum leaves are way different than the white sapote leaves.
