Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Sellers of grafted trees in Thailand and Malaysia
« Last post by TropicalFruitHunters on Today at 06:09:37 AM »Obtaining phytosanitary certificates doesn't seem like a big deal here in Thailand. I've done it myself many years ago. Most sellers that I am aware of here will not ship out of the country. There may be larger nurseries that do this. There may be more involved with durian trees, but I'm not sure. I was once told they are not allowed to be exported any longer, but I don't believe this since I often see durian trees being sold on Ebay from Thailand sellers...and promising to include a phyto cert. I can't find anything concrete on this, but did find an article from the Bangkok Post back in 2016 that state Thailand prohibits the export of durian trees. Obviously more research needs to be done on this. You might consider traveling here and obtaining the trees yourself, getting the permits/certs, and shipping.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Tropical Fruit in video games
« Last post by bovine421 on Today at 05:50:12 AM »Maybe shocking that Boomers have knowledge of video games. Maybe not to the extent of younger Generations but because we have children and grandchildren of course we have knowledge of video games and cartoons. Remember going to a hamburger joint to play Pinball and seeing a Pong table for the first time. I also remember Radio Shacks first personal computer that ran off of Dos. I expected to be able to talk to it like we to AI on our phones now. I despise Electronic Arts for killing Titanfalls and Anthem. I could imagine inside The Traveler of Destiny a mango tree in the center being the essence of life of our universe.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What soil to use for container grown mango tree?
« Last post by Coconut Cream on Today at 12:47:37 AM »I've learned to go easy on the organic matter in the potting mix - it can become sludge and rot the roots. You can add any organic amendments on top of the soil where they can easily be removed or adjusted if it goes wrong. The mix in the pot should contain sand, perlite, maybe some pine bark fines, and then some ProMix or other high quality potting soil. Play with the ratio until you get it loose and fluffy, not mucky and dense. Once it's potted then you can top dress with grass clippings or wood chips or whatever you prefer. I've found that my young mango trees really like grass clippings from the wild fields behind my house. A light application of granular fertilizer around the edge of the pot helps too.
The sand is key, though. If I dig down six inches in my back yard it is straight up sand.
You can move the Pickering to a larger pot when you start to see root hairs coming out the bottom of the current pot. Pickering should be pretty difficult to kill.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pouteria Arguacoensium & Pouteria Salicifolia
« Last post by BenjaminJohnson on Today at 12:34:10 AM »I've been growing Pouteria salicifolia for about a year, mostly outdoors. Seems to tolerate being out in some occasionally frosty weather and a couple of months of temperatures mostly in the 30-50 F range. I made a short video, in case anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9Ay3uIN9ifs

« Last post by Soren on Today at 12:02:16 AM »What I hear is that phitosanitary certificates are hard to come by in Malaysia and Thailand, especially for durian.
For me, a very impressive nursery in Malaysia is Famies in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

Hi Peter, you don't think the nurseries can facilitate the Phytosanitary certificates if they know in advance visitors need them?
