Oh no, you haven't seen my yard, front and back, completely full of fruit trees in ground and hundreds in pots.
Ok, your the first one on this post to review it. Glad you liked the fruits, I thought it was a winner since it is bite size and no seed, super rare to find something like this.
I hope you and everyone else who got the scions from this order have fruits in a few years. I think I might make one larger tree with this variety just so I can have more fruits on the tree sooner. I did find someone with a large avocado tree that needs to be dug up so I might just go back there and buy that tree, after I dig up the last Carmine #3 guava tree I found last year. That should be enough fruit trees for me, need to stop collecting.
Wow that was quick. Make sure you only eat the fruits that are ripe, should give when you squeeze it. If it is hard to cut or eat then it is probably still green and will not have any taste. Inside color should be dark yellow when it is ripe.
Too late you package shipped out. Don't pay for any fruits, you get 2 complementary fruits.
Your post reminded me to follow up on a message I had sent on this same fruit 🤣. I was able to get a bag to try as well. The owner put a post up to sell some fruit and got thousands of messages, he looked down at his phone to answer a message and it turned out to be Kaz. It must be fate.
He was nice enough to bring me a ripe one to try and can confirm it is quite tasty. The skin is edible as well. The original owner saw no value in the fruit and was just letting them fall to the ground for the critters. Its crazy how different we value things.
Sabara to Sabara is, for some reason, more fickle than other grafts. I've had slow, and often long term problematic Sabara grafts, but I think it was the rootstock more often than the graft itself. This said, I have also had many takes. I have a real nice one, almost foot long scion that is looking pretty good right now.
I prune my fruiting sabara pretty hard every year and send out pieces for free, just pay shipping. I will probably do this in a couple weeks. Keep an eye on the BST in the next few weeks if someone doesn't sort you out.
I just made the bags of fruits to ship out today. If you are buying a scion, I highly recommend you buy a few fruits so that you can taste it and not pay extra shipping again later.
I just ate a few more ripe fruits, and it tastes better than a Fuerte. It tastes like a Hass, dark yellow flesh, nutty side.
Wei, thanks for that video. It made me laugh since my seedless avocado tree I have (about 8 ft tall) also has miniature fruits just like that guy's Mexicola avocado cuke. The fruits on my tree so far have been all seedless finger fruits about that size and it turns black when it is ripe. Really hard to tell when it is ready since it is so small, not easy to do a squeeze test. I took some photos of my small crop of 8-10 fruits this season so I will posted here so you can see how small the fruits are compared to the real Seedless Krueger avocado fruits.
Ok, for those of you who purchased a Krueger scion and didn't buy any fruits, I will give you 1 complimentary fruit so you can taste it. But you need to post here with your feedback of the fruit you ate.
Don't forget to wait until it turns black and gives a little when you squeeze it. I noticed the fruits that are all black or show any softness on the ends are already over ripe so I will try to send fruit that is not fully ripe yet.
Yup, it slowed me down with my fruit tree collection and grafting on a crutch so such a long time. I didn't get the surgery for over a year so one legged for a while.
I stopped playing 2 years ago when I broke the knee, so I don't even know what is the best Pokemon now. Don't get me started again, I'm not allowed to play it.
For me, this find is better than the Sylvia guava tree or the Betty fig tree. If there are any Pokemon players out there, you know the song.

Glad i could help! Good luck with it!
Bellamy has some more seeds available rn at 10$ if anyone wants to pick them up for cheaper
Yours looks exactly like my m. Caerulescens!Bought some seeds from Bellamy over the summer. Planted them in small pots, didn't pay much attention to them until just now. Looks like a batch has sprouted, but I was too lazy to note the plant's name on the cup, simply taped the label that came with the seeds to the container. Unfortunate, it's all faded. Can anyone tell what this is?
Prolly Beaurepaireana if I can remember correctly that's one of the only ones on your list that pops out with that fuzzy.
My E. Beaurepaireana seedlings look nothing like it.
Ok very weird, I germinated a seed from Bellamy that was supposed to be Eugenia Bahiensis that looks exactly like this. Hard to mix up since it’s very different looking than other seedlings. I looked up images of mature E. Bahiensis and it doesn’t look the same. I also have seedlings of E. beaurepairiana and the leaves don’t match either. So I’m confused as to what exactly we both have? Here’s a photo of it first emerging and some current photos.

Unfortunately without supplemental heat, frost cloth doesn't really do much to protect trees.
Even my jabos got wrecked in 28 degree weather.
No way they could make it a whole winter even here
I've found frost cloth to be beneficial when combined with a poly tunnel/hoop house for zone 7b/8a type plants. So id agree frost cloth aint doin much on its own
My greenhouse protected plants are all hanging in there, but I really want to get some exotic stuff in the ground.
You should look into luma apiculata, it's cold hardy and gives a similar aesthetic to jabos. Hardy tamarillo and Tasmanian mountain pepper should be solid in your zone as well
QuoteThey made it sound like this thing was native to Antarctica...got duped!
Always be cautious of the seed seller's tales of grandiosity. The forum members are where you'll learn what is true or what's not. Still so much discovery left yet! I do appreciate you trying though, despite you ignoring me. I was actually kind of hopeful I'd be proven wrong.
I don’t like propagating guavas, but when I used to grow professionally for a couple large nurseries here in CFL, I had pretty good success at rooting cuttings. Just a ballpark but figuring I have rooted at least 50k guavas from cuttings. They aren’t easy, but I know the tricks for getting higher percentages.
I'm all ears for these tips!
