Does this Yellow Big self pollinate, Kaz? Or do we need another variety and cross hand pollinate them?

Me and my friend bought over 50 trees from them. Good size trees, wrapped carefully, and their rootstock is healthy mature trees.
Are you sure you've got that URL correct? Looks like an alligator farm, not a tree nursery.
My Dad had a tree in our grove moved once because of some work that was being done. It was about 8x8. It had to be dug with a trackhoe in July (just about the worst time there is to move a lychee tree). I told him it would not work and that he would be better off planting a new tree. I was wrong. That tree is still alive today and going strong. He did cover it with shade cloth and watered it regularly misting the foliage. It dropped about half of its leaves, but was recovered in about a year. It can be done.
I see 14.99 hah..
If you just want one cutting, I should be able to get another one from my source who has a tree he grew from the original tree/source. When I go see him, I will remember to get one for you.
I have a few cuttings that I'm rooting now.
I did see that there are two source on figbid now.

is the santol variety "koetjape" any good? ive been thinking abt getting a santol treWe had a tree when I was a kid. It has good flavor, sweet sour with a kick of tropical aroma. But not much flesh, mostly seeds. I would say it is not worth growing in your zone, which you will need to keep in the green house.

Anyone bought Chaunsha and Langra variety mango from Guavaking? Should I buy mango tree from them? Their price is very expensive and not sure they will deliver the correct Variety? Appreciate, anyone can share their experience who bought these mango varieties from them before. Thank you.
I have another question for you folks growing the passiflora decaisneana. My vine has been blooming flowers now since July 2023 - October 2023, is this normal?
For the last 2 months, I have had to go outside every day about 10am to hand pollinate the darn thing since it pops up new flowers ready for me to hand pollinate it. I did notice that in the month of August and September (SoCal) I got the most fruit set from my hand pollination work. I thought the vine stopped having flowers last week, but now that it got a little warmer (85F +) the flowers are starting up again.
Mine was also flowering non-stop from February-November here inland zone 10A. It was still flowering when my Possum Purple stop due to the cold air in winter.
So, I would like to know if your vines do the same thing, flower for 4 months long. This vine is just one graft I did on the p.edulis vine 2-3yrs ago.
Here is what is fruiting:
Passiflora Edulis var flavicarpa (Hawaiian Lilokoi yellow)
Passiflora Edulis 'Frederick'
Passiflora Edulis 'Galaxy' (this was bought at Ricardo's nursery in Anaheim.
Passiflora Phoenicia 'Ruby Glow'
Passiflora Edulis 'Golden Sweet' (also bought at Ricardo's)
I have the following flowering as well: passiflora caerulea, passifora incaranata, passiflora incense. Passiflora Edulis 'Columbia Red' will be flowering soon. Passiflora Lingularis is now 4 years old and neither have flowered.
I have about 20 or so other varieties either in seedlings or newly acquired plants that I am waiting for flowering: nigradenia, antioquiensis, tarminiana, mollissima, laurifolia, cumbalensis, pinnatistipula, serrulata, maliformis, platyloba, quadrangularis, and quite a few edulis hybrids.
I'm headed to Taiwan in late December to tour the entire island on cycle route 1. This probably isn't the ideal time for fruit but regardless I was hoping to get an advice from locals or others who have visited. Especially interested in worthwhile markets or farms that I can try to include on my journey.I forgot to tell you, December is a good month for fresh vegetables, especially cabbage. Taiwan's cabbage is the most delicious vegetable I've ever eaten. They usually just simply stirr fried it with garlic. It tasted sweet, tender but crunchy, and has a nice addictive flavor. Taiwanese believes it because of the fresh spring mineral water from Mount Alishan where it mostly grown. It is weird how I can be addicted to cabbage, but I did.
