I never bothered buying from them

Hello.
Annona jahnii (manirito) is flowering..

do you have any seedlings or seeds of Jahnii for sale?

how much for 5 seeds of Annona Parviflora

I’ve taken notice to the grass here, I’ve always wondered why it was so ever green as a kid and had so much beige boots throughout the grass fields, layouts. It’s a soft think strand grass. We use to calm it mountain grass when I was younger. Mango trees grow absolutely gigantic here, other trees we planted 5 years ago are at incredible heights. I came to Florida and took a great interests to dragon fruit( I have multiple varieties) and I think I found Hylocereus Tetragonus in one of my old backyards.

Annona is absolutely EVERYWHERE, soursop, custard apple and sweetsop. Sadly the trees are very, VERY old, and nobody is pruning them to get strong sugar apple branches, the custard apple tree in my old backyard is well over 18 years old, never had a fruit from it but my parents have.  didn’t see fruit or
flowers on it today, soursops seem to have been in season already but I still soursop flowers everywhere.

The sugar apples across Trelawny are in awful shape. I’ve seen probably over 30 trees today, all black small rotted fruit, very weak branches. Educated a fruit enthusiast about annona hybrids today. He never knew the three he had were related.

Star apple is definitely in season here, my Grandmas house and area has several trees probably 10 plus years old, filled to brim with over 100 fruit, maybe 300. Picked 6 or so due to the tree being incredibly tall and on a steep hill.

Young coconuts all over the place. Coconut trees in Florida are much taller and wider. (Not talking about dwarfs)

I’ve been looking for some real hardcore tropical fruit that’s hard to find in Florida, no luck so far. Quite disappointed as I took it for granted a kid and a lot of fruit trees that were here have cut down, especially species that get huge and take years to bear.

im not sure which would be easier, I hear the seeds dont last long out of the fruit. Anyone selling any? Can it grow in pots? I hear it fruits in 3 years?

The nodes between the petiole and the main stem are where new branches come out from. If you remove the leaf/petiole by snapping it off, most likely the nub will start growing into a new branch

On some of my seedlings, I noticed that there are large "new growth" looking nubs that grow between the main stem and leaf stem of the leaves. Some more prominent than others, they pretty much shrink/ dry up as the leaves mature downwards.  What does this mean?


also these are very young seedlings, definitely not flowers

Nice gonna do a small prune to get my seedlings to split  and start branching out, or should i let grow tall and straight for a while?

I’ll get a sabara then

how quickly do they fruit from seed?

What became of this? Is it really different from Cornifolia? Any seeds or seedlings being grown out?

It’s such a good fruit but I’ve never heard of anyone growing it here, I heard it’s tedious and you need male and female plants/vines? Also takes many years until maturity?I’ve also wanted to start growing grapes, any variety recommendations?

Does anyone know anybody else who has grown it where I am, like within my city, I know lots of Florida growers have it
