Ooooof that sucks! That is a really tough condition to fix. It's only going to get worse, but you're going to maim the tree badly removing that. I would probably have removed it years ago, had it been mine, and would consider taking it back bit by bit till you can get water out of the tree.

I was reading your post about keeping fruiting trees manageable and thinking about this tree K-Rimes haha-

If I understand correctly, slowly prune down the split part of the tree until it is flush with the main trunk? any recs for how much to reduce over how long?

100% vermiculite - it is by far the best starting spot- a small number of seeds will need modification, but this stuff works miracles

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) Help
« on: Today at 03:00:26 PM »
Hey all,

Just got some Pics from the Paw Paw tree in Michigan and the Main Trunk has had a massive split- tree seems to be okay but I would think Pruning at this point would be prudent- would you take off the whole large limb? Maybe a good chance to get some grafts on?

Side note- if anyone wants fruiting paw paw wood (it is a seedling) near MI lmk

Lowkey not a fan of cherimoya even when perfectly picked ripe from CA
I like soursop a decent bit
Rollinia is probably my favorite if picked at right time (lemon custard) and not slimy
Sugar apple is ok
IDK not a fan of annonas that much

-also don't get annonas from the store, they got to be all picked off tree or something or else it's not a solid representation of what it tastes like

How could I forget Rollinia!

This one is a top tier fruit- maybe the best non-named variety

Ive tried a few of them

S. australe
S. smithiii
and a few unknown ones

In general they are good crisp and refreshing, like a light apple

been wanting to try some of the larger ones because the wild ones leave a lot to be desired as far as flesh amount and flesh to seed ratio

here we have arbutus unedo growing everywhere as hedging, some of the fruits taste delicious! Like fizzy peach mango! and others taste like sawdust....

Need to find the best-tasting one and clone it.  As far as I know cultivars for A. unedo are few and far between or hard to get, mostly Compacta seems the easiest to get, and some say it's the same variety as Elfin King.  So they're grown as hedging, mostly ornamentally, and some happen to be great fruits (according to posts like yours across the internet, mine hasn't fruited yet) and most stink, and yet still nobody really isolates the great-tasting ones and sells them.  Why?  What am I missing?  Even OneGreenWorld only sells Compacta.

they turn to mush in 24h so shipping will never happen- commercial cultivars are usually exactly that (commercial)

money make-a da world go round

some good trees in the bay area as well

Everyone should have received a PM from me today- if you're comfortable with the situation please send payment for your seeds ASAP

Once the shipping is figured out we will split it evenly 10 ways (my count of the people on the order)

1. Golden Soursop
2. Lisa Atemoya
3. Pierce Cherimoya
4. Tree Ripened Cherimoya (store bought are so hit or miss)
5. Paw Paw
6. Soursop
7. Sugar Apple

They are all really really good though-

I had a soncoya that improperly ripened so I excluded it

Wow!

Nice LangsatFL- did you plant the trees 30 years ago or inherit them?

FWIW Flies can pollinate many things, although I am unsure of Langsat specifically

Please do a review of the fruits when/if you get to taste them

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is this a fruit forming? inga edulis / ice cream bean
« on: April 27, 2025, 11:35:23 PM »
two things with Inga-

the name ice cream bean does it a disservice, they are good but everyone expects it to taste like a bowl of bryers which it doesnt.

They are good when you find the right variety, they also get huge and are good chop and drop nitrogen fixers, they are mostly a novelty though and can be a bit fibrous as well
