Unless they taste a good mango, they will think you are acting like a fool. But once they eat a good one, there is no turning back!

I have around 60+ probably close to 75+ from a store bought fruit
They’ve been in storage for a few months and a ready to be planted out any time

If you want them you can have them for $20 including shipping.
Let me know

Check them out for the best rootmaker pots in the nation

Well there's one at bellamy but it's like 50 bucks...maybe when i get paid next week but i'm thinking about it xD



I have a few calyptranthes  and myrcias(unidentified from the island) but how to even send....maybe with a permit. Also Got Olosapo and Sunsapote seedlings.

Thanks man it’s only $5!
He must’ve just released them lol

just don't take em all xD
If you get permits and stuff maybe we can trade myrtaceous plants...look at my list i may get more.

If you got any seeds we could work something out. I need to update my permit later.

There is another raffle going on! Check it out! I’ll probably raffle out something cool next week also. So stay tuned!

Probably around 40-50% takes.

I had one that took but after I unwrapped it and went to plant it a couple days later it snapped off the union. It had only healed in one small section, about a mm or two.  They certainly
are difficult to graft.

Thanks for your story. I wonder if approach grafting is the right way to go? Problem is that I suck at approach grafting. I probably ruined one of my plinias cause of that lol.
I guess the best way is to mass graft if possible and just eat the losses.

I believe it’s called apical dominance. You should cut off the top of the rootstock or at least bend it over below.

And whatever you do and whoever you ship with, do not order or ship packages during the holidays…anywhere from December 10 to January something, the package will not arrive on time!

Last night I was re reading the Yangmei thread from the 2012 start. We have come a looong way! I recommend you read it. Many peoples mistakes and tips are in there.
Out of the 2 orders I purchased 6 trees
2 from first order that I assigned to someone in CA to take care of which died(no hate to you…thanks for doing it! Everyone else’s died anyways!)
And four from second order.
I got 3/4
Biqi
Dk male
An hai
And black crystal which died….it pushed and had good roots…no idea?
They have been chugging along. For now….I’ve been acquiring rootstock for the long haul grafts.
The best looking is the male, but everyone else has been good, and I think mine are the biggest out of everyone’s in the march order…send me a picture if you think otherwise! Of course anything could happen and my trees could die…it’s a daily process.
I’ve been trating for RKN
Reading off the earlier thread, in ground in 7b might not be the best. I’ll stick to pots until I have more stock to do experiments.







I’m glad there are a lot more trees in the us and that we can start getting scions if all else fails….if another order takes place, I’d buy a couple trees just for scions! Based off of other peoples experiences, it’s best to graft right when you receive the tree. Even from the very first order by beicadad, the tree I got, although weak and old from shipping, the branches looked very fresh. Unfortunately I had no idea and no rootstock so I just watch it die back to nothing.

If anyones interested, there is a black carbon being sold on eBay auction ending tonight by Fruitsy Farms! Check him out! I’ve got some cool stuff from him before!

For future reference for me and anyone else, here is some progress pics.
