i had great germination of traditional langsat, lonkong, and duku from palologrower on here a few years ago-

100% vermiculite and regular watering+ night temps above 75 seemed to be the trick-

good fruit- way too hard of a plant to grow, all of mine died at 55f-

I think I sold a bunch for the fundraiser for Andreas on here so maybe there are some around that are at least a few years old

fabulous seller- order with confidence

The lilly pillies mentioned are the common small cooler climate species but there are dozens of species which are more exciting than that lot. There are 20 or 30 species in my district. Some of the 50m rainforest giants are majestic. S. fibrosum has small but quite nice apple tasting fruits, S.papyraceum has bright coloured fruit, S.wilsoni is very small with lovely pink flowers and I could go on and on. Maybe the more glamorous ones like cormiflorum and suborbiculare would have been better abroad.

Please tell us more!

I love syzygium fruits but am precluded from growing the more tropical ones, would love to get some seeds

paging Maryoto, I tried to import a large number of seeds few years ago but none sprouted

Its probably Syzygium paniculatum if they were magenta and tasty,

https://tropical.theferns.info/viewtropical.php?id=Syzygium+paniculatum

the trees get large, but take a while to do so, I guess it is endangered now so you should absolutely plant it out, cant speak as to the polyembrony but they are supposed to be bushy when young so I would wait

P.S. my oleosum survived 18f

bummer to hear about the greenhouse re-work necessity,

Really good looking soil improvements though, trees and mushrooms are all looking great

airtight container is fine to keep it good for a few years

I am fruiting this for the first time now. You sure you want it? Pretty astringent. I can get you seeds out of my next fruit. It is definitively worse than strawberry guava.

not glad to hear this K-Rimes, got a few seedlings that might be headed for compost if true, maybe they improve with age?

I know of at least one person who flowered Erdon Lee in the continental US this year

Its a fungus or bacteria probably- reduce watering

They made it through 24F and were killed at 18F IIRC

Grown a few trees in Texas-

Cold killed them all, agree it is tasty though

Great info Ryan!

Lots of flowers here but no fruit yet- I will throw some fertilizer around the base of mine to see if I can get fruit this year

The apparently annual texas storms knocked mine back to the ground again this winter but they are already coming back

23
This is such a great resource tru-

just found the Fuchsia species with the best edibility rating easily

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Do you leave leaves under trees?

We keep our lychee leaves. They make a good mulch and put nutrients back into the soil. The only readon you would remove leaves is if they are harboring a pathogen of some kind.

+1 they are a custom made mulch
