The Tropical Fruit Forum

I purchased seeds a few years back of e. Florida.  They sat in the ground for about a year and then early this fall, they all seemed to pop up at the same time.
My property is small.  I want to keep the minimum I need and then share the rest with any board members in Phoenix metro.

This isn't tropical, but, I think I'll get more views here and I need advice.   I purchased at Cox's orange pippen grafted apple tree and it came with about 95% of the graft broken.  There is still a tiny amount.  I want opinions if I should demand a refund/or new plant or will it recover?

The reason I got into Eugenias here in AZ originally is because when I moved out here in 2012, I asked my son what kind of tree to plant and he wanted a cherry tree.  Of course at the time, you could not grow cherries out here.  So I did some research and it said for cherry flavor, do cherry Rio grande, grumichama, or acerola.  Well, 9 years later, my grumichama and eugenia calycina continue to grow like snails, my acrrola tastes more like a tart raspberry than a cherry.  I know have a Nadia cherry plum and crimson cherry to plant over the winter and my son is off to college next year.  Kind of funny how things go.
But that leads me to my question, are there any eugenias or any other tropical fruit that tastes like an actual cherry?  I have heard many descriptions of a fruits taste on here, but I do not remember anyone saying a certain fruit tasted like a sweet cherry.

I have a good spot for a dwarf guava in my garden.  For people that have grown both, which would recommend, p. Striatulum or p. Firmum.

I am horrible at growing from seed.  So, I get my best germination rates when I plant seeds and forget about them.  However, the problem often becomes later ID.  Can anyone tell me what these 3 seedlings might be?

Or jocote, as my wife calls it.  Red variety.  Might be spondias purpura.   Looking for a small tree but with a healthy root system.

Has anyone on here tried or is growing a Jackson grapefruit?   Saw one for sale and the flavor profile sounded interesting.  But, thought I would ask since most sellers make their fruit sound incredible.

If you were going to grow a dwarf avocado, what variety would you grow.

This is my cotton candy mango tree in Scottsdale,  AZ.  Been in ground 3 full years.  I have not let it bloom, as it was not that large when I purchased it.  Is it large enough to let it fruit this year, or wait?

Looking for either a dwarf or improved variety or both.

Can anyone tell me about the quality of the fruit?

I have a kishu mandarin in my backyard.  It has not fruited yet and I was curious to see how the fruit tastes.  So, I bought a box of them online.  They looked cool and were the size I expected.  Very easy to peel....but, I was very disappointed in the flavor.  It was sweet, but, besides that fairly bland.
Just wanted to see what other people think of the fruit.  Did I just get a bad batch or is this what I am to expect from the fruit.
If it always this bland, I may take the tree down and plant something better.

please send me a pm
