Hey fruit lovers! I was able to visit our fellow long time forum member Brian in PA and see his impressive greenhouse set up. So many cool trees growing and many in the ground. I was especially impressed with his purple mangosteen growing in zone 6A.
Lots of special shout outs to other forum members in this video including: ScottR Kevin Reimer Kevin Jones Kaz Frank Lazar Ryan Jo Kameron Bellamy Millet
I finally got around to filming a video of the fruit. Nice mild lemony citrus flavor with a 1or 2 out of 10 sweetness. This is probably best for culinary uses. When I was eating it I didn't notice any bitter but later on I did taste it. It might be better to not eat the thin rind.
Thanks for putting these links together. I used to follow Don and his quest to make improved edible hardy citrus. It's unfortunate that he has seemingly abandoned his project. Dr Brown was the source of a few of my hardy citrus as well. Its great that Matthew was able to visit him and document his visit.
Digging around the greenhouse I found some extra plants that need to be rehomed. All prices do not include actual shipping which is to be determined by what all is bought and can be shipped together. Thanks for looking

Hey Sir Graftalot! Yes I actually stopped by his place and did a quick video. It was a bit dark but you could still see his impressive set up. It'll be a couple weeks before I can get it uploaded because I still need to work on part 3 of Joe's place and another vid
Thanks a lot spaugh, SHV, ben mango, Vegan Potato Man, fliptop, blackb0x, ScottR, Janet and everyone else who has watched. Part two is up and we go a bit heavy in to Joe's jaboticabas, some pouteria, artocarpus and more!
Good day fellow fruit lovers! Joe Hewitt was so nice to open up his tropical fruit farm and give a wonderful tour recently. I wanted to share that video with everyone and give an update 🙂 https://youtu.be/Tlicns5ebFs?si=wFOCGSsDJ-TOZiA8
Thanks RyanJo, Janet, Madfarm, Kevin, Eggo, Roblack, ScottR, Iceman, Simon, Nullzero and everyone for checking out the vid . I'm glad to see your update too Mark! Now I want an MST lol but I'm excited about growing out the Kecil.
