The guy is too eager to sell. He needs to let his grafts heal longer before selling. He is going to ruin his rep. If this guy gets enough 50/50 reviews he is going to suffer.I feel like the campbell's were sent out too early but the mangos I bought via mail-order from Lara Farms in the past were probably some of the largest 3gallons I'd ever seen, it's a bummer that they wouldn't at least offer a discount on a replacement given the circumstances to at least accept partial responsibility that these were very young.Yeah I wish they would have offered a discount at least but it is what it is. I’m also glad I’m not the only one. The rootstock itself is doing well so at least I have some kind of white sapote I can try grafting on later.
I'm glad we're all having a similar experience, albeit not always great, at least I take comfort in knowing I'm not blundering my first white sapote growing attempt.
No I wouldn't say, "No thanks", more like, "It's for the collection" I will graft it on to some other varieties. It may improve in time. I was hoping for "pears in brown sugar with a little butterscotch". I'm trying to think of a fruit that I have had that has a butterscotch flavor other than an american persimmon.The fruit was sweet but to be honest I did not like it.
So that's another grower saying no thanks after fruiting the tree?
We all qualify as "idiots" then, lol.You too? Say it ain't so! It took me about that long too. Had a couple of Kei Apples that never flowered after 8.
Planted a 3g grumi 9 years ago, just started flowering.
American persimmons are always squishy, right?Americans are not mushy and depending on the area and the fruit they are more chewy. If you have some that hang on the tree they will dry to a chewier consistency. The same thing happes if you can starve them for water as they are ripening. Americans seem to be less watery than Asians. Nikitas gift is a watery hybrid and rossyanks is less so. Pollinated Nikita's gift have a better texture and flavor than unpollinated Nikita's gift but they are still mushy.
I tried the astringent (hachya?) asian types a couple times and it seems like by the time they are edible they are nearly mush, and I read the american types are the same or worse!
Do people eat them with a spoon? Or are they normally dried?
They don't taste like pumpkin or sweet potatoes? It seems like it would have that "vegetable" since it has high amounts or betacarotene. How small is small? I learned that there are some softball to baseball sized varieties. Those would interest me. Two last questions. Why would the size influence the amount of time it takes to ripen? When are we planning in the road trip!?!?!This is the G-3 mamey
Tasting amazing…my friend Bobby says like caramel fruity taste…no vegetable/pumpkin taste
I can agree with thatThis is the new G-4
I am hyped up for this one
Small size of fruit will be perfect for the greenhouse
Hello everyone,Do you have anything left? I would definitely or get the dovyalis.
I have some plants I am looking to sell before winter.
They are big and need to be picked up.
I will not ship any plant. No matter size. I am too busy with college.
I'm sorry :'(Dovyalis Hybrid! Has fruited before. Makes a small cool red fruit that is a little sour but balanced and sweet. $50
Yellow Cashew. Has fruited before. Has cool flavor for drinks. $75 This is in a 15 gallon pot!
I also have a ton of other random stuff.
Many rare jaboticabas
Plinia sp. Willow
Giant Red Crystal
etc.
I can let them go for a very good price. $50-100
and a lot of the grapes like shine muscat, giant rose, golden finger etc.
I can let them go from $15-20 each
I'm around 2 hours away from Atlanta, Huntsville, Nashville, Knoxville etc.
There's a lot more stuff I am looking to sell potentially. If you are interested, let me know and I can get you a full list and make the trip worth the while!
Best,
Ryan

Did they just prune? What's all that green near the plants? Is that pruning scraps or weeds or what?
Calmei is growing just a few miles from me in a zone 9b location with some frost. I hope they do direct sales there but probably not.
https://farmnetnpr.com/loquat-festivalI hate to say it. I was there last year and the evwnt was not that great and THERE WERE NO LOQUATS TO BE FOUND when I showed up. I bought a very over priced Oliver for 60 bucks. I had planned on trying many and I actually had none.
