I will update this sale today.

I will be finished shipping out all orders by Friday, and I still have extra cuttings. So if you want to buy 1-2 cuttings, send me a message. Here's the update for the sale:

1. Large Yellow Passion fruit cutting, qty=2 max, let me know the quantity you like to buy.

2. You must be a TFF forum member for a minimum of 6 months.

3a. Cost is $10 for one cutting, length that will fit a USPS small flat rate box (5"x8")

3b. For CA residence, I should be able to use a slightly longer box (for same ship cost) for your cutting so it may be up to 12 inches long, and probably can have some leaves on the cut branch for rooting.

4. Cost to ship is USPS priority, $11. This is the small flat rate box, typically 2-day delivery.

5. Total Cost => $21 for 1 cutting.
5a. Total Cost => $31 fpr 2 cuttings.

6. Payment with PayPal only, "Friends & Family" option.

7. Lower 48 states

8. I have the right to refuse to sell to anyone, if I don't reply then you are not getting on the list.

9. Send me a message to make the purchase. I will provide Paypal info, and after shipping you will get a tracking number (USPS priority mail).

These cutitngs were taken last weekend, 4/13-4/14. Passion fruit cuttings keep for a few weeks with no problem as long as it has moisture and out of the sun.

From what I recall, the Carmine can be divided into four varieties: Palace Pink, Full Red, Born Red, and Big Leaf Red; with palace pink and full red being the best.

not  “four varieties”,It's five series.

宫粉红 gong fen hong --Palace Pink
全红 quan hong --Full Red
出世红chu shi hong --Born Red
大叶红da ye hong --Big Leaf Red
七月红qi yue hong --July Red

七月红是最多人种植的一个系列( July Reds are one of the most widely grown series.)

“宫粉红”and “全红”不是最好吃的吗?为什么大家喜欢种植七月红呢?

宫粉红只是一个传说中的品种,是否真实存在都未可知,以前果农之中是没有“宫粉红”这个叫法的 。全红个子小、不易坐果,优点是水分足。

Thanks.,.......

Ok, thank you for the English translation of your info, appreciate it.

Yes, maybe someone got the seeds from the Carmine fruits and grew it in Taiwan since this one seems to be the only one I know around here on the forums that is this large. No one has mentioned they grow it yet.

That's why I'm sharing the cuttings with 10-20 members of this forum so next year, they can spread cuttings to other friends, and we should be able to archive this nice guava fruit. I'm also growing out as many seeds as I can from the fruits so that if the people who bought the cuttings are not successful grafting or rooting it, I should have seedlings next year to share. I just so happy that I stumbled across this wonderful guava.

So, maybe the Sylvia guava grows larger (weight) than any of the Carmine series so it may not be from the same family of guavas.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: marcotting vs rooting question

Peter, do you think I should cut the leaves back severely?  I could even cut it back to that swelling bud just above the roots, if drying out is the main risk.

I think it was cut too early but that it could grow. I’d keep it wet and warm. I’ve seen stuff like that work out.
Suerte

I do not know the variety. They are seedlings from a good fruit. Not sure how true they grow to seed.

I also have some small Syzygium Jambos which make the yellow fruit.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Flower buds on Loquat not blooming
« Last post by Cablebeach on April 18, 2024, 10:16:02 PM »
Hi again, I have a Loquat that has been in the ground for 12 months that started producing flower buds about 4 weeks ago, they have not yet bloomed which seems odd to me. Is this normal behaviour for a young plant? The variety on the plant tag is “Enormity” if that is of any value.

fanshiliu, thank you for posting these photos of the Carmine guava. If you can translate in English any of your comments that would be nice.

I have not seen these Carmine guava photos so your pictures are appreciated, thanks.

I think there were a few other TFF members that mention this to me as well. It sure does look very similar to the guava fruit you posted, I'm excited to see this.

The person who has this large tree (height about 17 feet) told me his relative brought the tree from Taiwan. He has 2 trees, his tree and one more at another house.

So far, for me this guava is my favorite of all of the ones I have eaten. Still did not taste the frutis from JF (Frank) pnk/red flesh guava called Delores and Jalisco. My grafted branches of this one is still growing slow and may not get a fruit on it for another year. If anyone else (besides Brad) is growing Frank's guava, please post some photos of it here so I can see what it looks like. I surprised that not many if anyone else has Frank's guava fruiting yet.

抱歉,我以为你是华人,以为你能看得懂中文。Sorry, I thought you were Chinese and thought you could read Chinese.

胭脂红是广东的品种,台湾应该没有,但是也不排除有人从广东把种苗带到台湾去了。Carmine is a Guangdong variety and should not be found in Taiwan, but we can't rule out that someone brought seedlings from Guangdong to Taiwan.

我发的这些图片是别人上传的,我也只是一个刚入门的爱好者。 These pictures I'm posting were uploaded by someone else, and I'm just a hobbyist just getting started.

fanshiliu——就是中文里番石榴的意思  “Fanshiliu”  it means guava in Chinese.
