« on: October 08, 2024, 04:49:55 PM »
I just got a 3 year old plant from Anderson Tropicals at a pretty good price (I think). Are these all they are hyped up to be? how long do they take to fruit?

« on: September 30, 2024, 06:09:52 PM »

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / ISO, some fresh tropical fruit, particularly rollinia, among others
« on: September 25, 2024, 06:03:49 PM »
I have basically exhausted all my local asian markets in terms of new fruit, does anyone have any rare fruit they would be interested in selling me? I would prefer a variety of several fruits
Some that i am interested in include:
Abiu, pouteria sp (excluding mamey) Chupa Chupa, Rollinia, any Annona, garcinia, Myrtacea spp, Artocarpus sp (this is a long shot) and really anything.
Im more interested in the rarer stuff as i have already had most of the more common ones (guava, jambu, sapodilla etc.) i am also interested all year round so if you see this post in june i am probably still interested
My budget is 40-50, so whatever that gets me is ok
Thank you!

« on: September 18, 2024, 02:49:55 PM »
people often ask, what's the best fruit, or the sweetest, but what about fruits with flavors that aren't found anywhere else and very unique? (of course, to a certain extent everything is "unique")

Tropical Fruit Discussion / how common are fruit trees in the wild
« on: August 30, 2024, 05:43:48 PM »
I was wondering this, it seems like they are rare and hard to find, but then again all angiosperms make fruit and a lot are edible. if you were walking through the jungle, how many fruit trees would there be, and is there a "technique" for fining them?

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / im looking for rare annonas (preferably grafted)
« on: August 26, 2024, 09:14:22 PM »
i am looking to buy some rare grafted annonas, preferably "rarer" than ilama. i am looking for good seed to flesh ratio and size in particular. i am looking for A. dioica, A. cherimoliodes, A. sylvatica, A. salzmanni, A. vepretorum, A. crassiflora, A deceptrix or others. my budget is rather low at around 50-65$, but if anyone is ok with that price PM me
Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / best rare annonas and duguetias
« on: August 20, 2024, 08:06:38 PM »
i am wanting to expand my "collection" of annonas (and Rollinias) and duguetias, which ones should i grow? i am mainly looking for good taste, easyness to separate pulp from seeds, good seed to flesh ratio, time to fruit from seed and size. i also have a few cherimoya rootstocks so anything that can be grafted to cherimoya is also helpful
i dont really mind a grainy or gooey texture although creamy is preferable
are there any annonas with edible seeds or skin?
i already have:
A. Cherimola (store variety)
A.Splraguei
A. densicoma
Annona sp "do acre" from bellamytrees (waiting to sprout)
Duguetia sp "Joao" fom bellamy (waiting to sprout)
D. Morecandiana (sprouted VERY fast, 20ish days)
D. lanceolata (waiting to sprout)
D. cauliflora (waiting to sprout)
