So to be clear, Shixia means longan? And according to the descriptions you mentioned, appearance differs depending on the variety.

That’s awesome!  let us know how it tastes

Did you pollinate or is it self pollinating?

Thanks you guys for the feedback.

Was considering to grow it, based on what kappss mentioned, they don’t tolerate the cold well.

Would still wanna give em a shot just for the foliage and change from green outter skin to red.

For walnut, not sure about growing it in my backyard since those can get really large

Thanks for the response Mark.
Also, did you plant in full sun, partial shade, in between plants?

I have like a couple seedlings growing out, one in a 5 gallon as well.

Thank you all for your feedback and support.

The suggestion about sunlight it spot on. Once I put my plant in full sunlight, it spontaneously flowered. First shed all of its leaves then put out a new flush of leaves, followed by flowering.

@Kaz
Yours has a nicer set of blooms than mine did. Is yours of a specific variety? Bought mine at Champa at the time.

Below you’ll see the picture of my Barbados tree in a 15 gallon.

I have Hasya sapodilla. Mine isn’t as big as Crush53, but it does put out flowers like in the post. They dry up on their own, not sure if it’s due to location(full sun). For Hasya do I need to hand pollinate?

Looking for Lemon Zest, Guava, Pickering, M4, Fruit Punch, CAC, Peach Cobbler, or anything you may have that’s in season and is a polyembryonic seed.

Thanks in advance!

Please share your opinion on the taste.

May go out if worth the drive 

@ K- Rimes:

For sure I’ll hit you up for more details, appreciate the response!

@Kent01:

I’m not too certain, but it looks probable that it may not be the same fruit I’m referring to.

I just saw a picture of the Starry night. Looks cool in appearance because it has like white specs on it. Hopefully is as good in taste as it looks.

Thanks for confirming!

These have a unique bumpy texture to it, I thought I found something unique 

Yeah your citrus varies in size but nonetheless are big.

Great, that’s awesome to know. Tried a glass of the lemon juice early in the morning. Not as sour as the one I grow in my backyard. Just pleasant. I also compared the juices to a ponderosa lemon. The ponderosa lemon leaves like a grapefruit aftertaste, not sure if it’s my tastebuds or if it was a poor tasting ponderosa.

I’ll post more pictures of this lemon layer today just to share since the shapes vary.
