Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Why sapodilla flowers can't set fruit? zone 9b (Bay Area)
« on: October 04, 2017, 12:34:59 AM »
Jbaqai,

For a tree that is in pot, your tree looks so healthy and green.  What and how often do you fertilize your tree?

I just want to add my experience regarding sapodilla as well.  I am in Southern California.  A few years ago, I had an Alano.  It was small and had tons of flowers every year but no fruit set ever.  About three years ago, I got a Makok.  It's a bout 3-4 feet tall and is currently in a pot in because I have not found a good spot for it.  I keep it in full sun exposure.  It has lots of flower set.  After two years, last year, it has one fruit currently about the size of an egg.  This year, I am more diligent with watering.  It now has 7-8 fruit buds.  I don't pollinate by hand.  I don't know why it behaves this way.  I just want to share my experience.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Can cherimoya grow in Vietnam?

Mikey,

According to the information in this link https://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/cherimoya.html, cherimoya requires chilling for 50-100 hours to thrive.

If I understand the issue properly, I think that is that same reason that our Florida forum members have with cherimoya.  The tree can grow and grows well in FL but does not bear fruit.  So growing it in Cu Chi will end up with the same problem.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is Vietnamese sugar apple the same tree as Na Dai ?
« on: September 19, 2017, 01:28:37 PM »
Since we are on this topic, can someone here confirm or refute that atemoya actually is superior to Na (in taste, texture, size)?

Thanks for the input.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pineapples--The Half Pot Experiment
« on: September 16, 2017, 10:06:09 PM »
It seems that a lot of the pineapple growers here in S. California prefer pots, at least by gleaning the inputs in this thread.  I started mine in pots and they are doing fine after 1-2 years.  I have been thinking about putting them in the ground.  Based on the opinions in this thread, I think I will just repot mine in larger pots instead of putting them in the ground.  I am in the San Gabriel area for reference.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: When and where are California Keitt's available?
« on: September 15, 2017, 12:56:38 AM »
Simon,

I bought some California-grown Keitt mangos from Wong Farm at the Pasadena Farmers Market last weekend.  I talked to the vendor and he told me that Keitt should be available for another 2 weeks.  I bought two mangos at $6/lb, not cheap but I wanted to try California-grown mango.  I also bought some last year.  I kept the mangos for about 2-3 days until they felt a little soft to the touch.  I thought this year's Keitt tasted better than last year.  The vendor had several boxes stacked 5-6 high.  If you really want them, come to the Pasadena Farmers market this weekend.  It is held on Saturday morning on the parking lot of Pasadena High School, FYI.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: 2015 UC Cherimoya tasting!!!!!!!!!!
« on: January 24, 2015, 08:00:14 PM »
One of the problem with the tasting is that some of the fruits were overriped.   I know that it is an inherent problem to any tasting.  That's why I like number 3 for the sweetness any slightly chewy texture.

Rodney,

Does pink lemonade grow well in Southern California?  Are the fruits sweet?

I previously requested to buy a grafted Pierce from you.  Would a San Mateo be available in the future as well?

I was at Champa Nursery in El Monte this past Monday.  I saw several varieties (alano, makok, Moreno, hasya) in 2 sizes.  I myself picked up a makok.  The trees are healthy looking.  You might want to check it out.

Miracle,

I don't know where you are in Los Angeles.  I was at Champa Nursery in El Monte two days ago.  I saw that the yellow dragon fruit was available.  I didn't pay much attention because I was there looking for a sapodilla and biew kiew longan.  You might want to check it out.

Simon,

Would you happen to know the varieties of the cherimoya and mango trees that they have?  The trees all look so healthy and vigorous.

« on: October 17, 2014, 03:20:30 PM »
I really like all of the pictures.  I have an Alano sapodilla in a pot.  The tree looks healthy and puts out green leaves and flowers for the past 3 years without one fruit setting.  Maybe I should get a Makok as well, based on the experience and testimony of the responses here.

JF,

I know you are busy.  But, if you could remember to send me a PM in spring when you have a mango available, I would appreciate it.  I don't always check the "Buy, Sell & Trade" section of the forum.  Any chance you may have a maha ready in spring?  I would take a 3 gal Pierce off your hand as well in spring if that is available.

Thanks
