Blood orange, orange, mandarin and lemon. I grew out seedlings for these in hopes of one day grafting branches of them to another mature (what seems to be a seedling) citrus that I have in ground at home. The fruit it makes taste like soap, so instead of cutting it down and wasting rootstock I was thinking I could graft to, then I found ought citrus grafting is “hard” so I’m not sure what to do now other than discard all my seedlings, chop the tree down and buy grafted trees.

52
I plan to keep it in a pot, but becuase it takes so many years (which I can’t remember) to bear fruit, I’ve been neglecting it and keeping it in a small pot. I want a jaboticaba but I’m not sure which are the best tasting, fastest fruiting, and grow well in pots

Has anyone ever heard of this cross taking place?

Is the purple flesh and purple skin one the same thing?

Annona salzmanii

Sorry if this shouldn’t be discussed here, I won’t name anyone, I don’t want to start any problems. To break this down in the simplest way possible, Bought a plant from a seller here, seller ships plant with bamboo stick in pot, bamboo stick literally churns up the root system of the plant in shipping, plant dies 7 days later, before plant died asked seller for advice to save it, followed sellers advice, plant obviously still died. Seller insist I send him the plant back to get my refund, I say sure, but it’s dead already. He asked if I used fertilizer (why would I use fertilizer on a rare tree seedling?) I say no, I did nothing to the plant. He says he’s gonna “test the soil”.

 He sends me instructions to get a return slip. No return slip link on my PayPal activity page for the money I sent. Decided to dispute with PayPal. I tell him I did. He sends me my money back, ask me to never buy from his store again, then blocks me, after that he unblocks to tell me I killed the tree then blamed it on the bamboo stake, and then insists that I added fertilizer to the pot and killed the plant (which I didn’t) ( and who’s stopping him from adding fertilizer to the pot when I ship him the plant and he just, you know, lies about it? It’s a lose lose for me)

I had firmly agreed to return the plant, yet he states I didn’t want to return the plant, (which explains why I supposedly added fertilizer to a tiny pot with a tiny rare SEEDLING that is extremely sensitive for god knows what reason?)

Funny enough, he tells me good luck etc etc and if I had a problem on the first day I should said something instead of a week later. It’s funny considering I did say something and he left me on read FOUR WHOLE DAYS.

Now tell me, based on what you’ve read. Am I just some bad person, or did I have valid reasons for wanting my refund? I have visual proof, and screenshots of every step of our conversations. Every single message, the dates, everything. I’ve learned to keep track of stuff like that from sellers who’d act like certain things weren’t said etc.

I don’t want any bad blood from anyone, I got a damaged product, I got my money back. There no issue. What I don’t want is a tarnished reputation and ending up being blacklisted by other sellers because I’m the guy who “kills his trees and blamed the seller” I’d rather not have that. Thank you for reading.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Creating a canopies for my trees
« on: July 10, 2022, 08:37:49 PM »
I’ve been experimenting pruning leaves off my annonas to for them to spring back and create new branch leads, what do you guys think about these 3? I’m not sure what canopies are the best for each annona, or any plant

Ilama, Lisa seedling and sugar apple(squamosa)

In annona self fertility is a matter of humidity, it's been very humid lately so the pistil hasn't dried before pollen reached dehiscence therefore self pollination happens.

Interesting, I always wondered why one flower had to die for another to be pollinated, it seems that’s not true, and only used to speed up the process when hand pollinating

60
If not, I hope it’s an annona, I had Cornifolia seeds mixed up in potting mix for a few of these because I thought the seeds died, or maybe it’s another psidium that just germinated, who knows. Gonna wait it out and see

Looking for annona salzmanii seedlings or seeds please

66
how much for 5 seeds of Annona Parviflora

67
$35 for each plus shipping

They are around 2 years old.






Im interested, do you need multiple plants for them to fruit?

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.

cant wait to see the fruit

« on: May 05, 2022, 09:12:51 PM »
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?

71
I think there's been hybrids of soursop and rollinia, but I'm not sure about that.


It's from Puerto Rico called Guanón.

It's supposed to be sold at "Govardhan Gardens" but his farm was destroyed by a storm some years ago. Idk if it's selling now.
http://www.organicfarm.net/seeds.htm

It seems they’ve managed to secure the Guanón! I’d have to wait until I’m ready for lots of new species before I buy seeds, minimum orders, plus international shipping is just out of my way right now, also would need to find if they’re actively selling now.

72
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?

73
Some of my annona seedling leaves died from frost this year in ZONE 10 A, it’s gonna be incredibly difficult to grow annona up north

75
I have Grimal Jabo that's about a year old, not very big, wanted to grow it out until it has many large branches (instead of one main stem and small twig-like branches) so I can graft different Plinia to it eventually, just need a source for scions that I can get scions from when the time comes
