The Tropical Fruit Forum

I saw the fruit I posted of the Marcus Pumpkin, it had no fibers. The person who grows this tree said it is creamy, sweet, and tastes good. You must have had a bad one. The inside of the large fruit is yellow, like a Hass, but much more flesh to eat.

I went to a CRFG member's house to pick up my Marcus Pumpkin cuttings and he has 3 large lucuma trees. At least one had fruits, the trees are tall (over 20 ft) so its hard to see what the fruits look like. Maybe when I go back there I will get up on the 10ft ladder and try to get a photo of the fruit to show.

Anyone know how easy it is to graft the tree to a seedling?

I might go over to Alex's place and get a scion wood from him if he has the moist variety that you guys like. If you know which variety is the best tasting let me know and I might check with Alex. I'm not really into lucuma, just checking for Aastair really.

The person who lives here in Fullerton said I can take a few cuttings since we are trading right now.

When I looked up and saw his fruit on this large tree, it seemed to be the pointy tip fruit. Like the first one in the photo above, not the SD fruit.

China White is sweeter.

But the brix reading a few years ago showed they were close.

China White: brix = 17, 16.5, 17.5

Vista White: brix = 13, 16, 17

The fruits of Vista White is almost 2x the size of China White. My Vista White is very productive so it has as much fruits in the cluster as the China White.

 

Hi Jack, the Russell scions I'm grafting is from a large tree in Hawaii, here's the fruits from the mother tree.





This is from the one tree.

Ok, will check my grafts later, I did my grafts 3 weeks after the last shipment to people who purchased them.

Here's my seed germination status. At least there will be seedlings.

Here's what the seed looks like.

Here's the photo of the fruit photo I took.

I want to ship out all Big Yellow passion fruit cuttings this week, so please send me a message if you want to buy them or are waiting so I can give you the information to make the Paypal payment.

I don't plan to send out any more next week, need to get it out while they are fresh.

And it takes good as well. I already got one fruit from this person and ate it (photos above). But when I went to the house and saw all these large yellow fruits hanging from his vine, it was impressive.

Has anyone here heard of the "Giant Taiwanese Long" guava?
The description of this one is, it has long, narrow leaf. Good when eaten crunchy or soft. I was lucky to get some cuttings over the weekend of this one, here's the photo of it. I have not seen the real fruit, this is just the data sheet photo, but the person who gave me the cuttings said it does have this long shape.



When I searched for the guava, it may be the same as the King Kong guava since I see they use the same photo for the guava picture (CH Fruit Tree nursery).

Yes, same here I only have the following varieties that have fruit and either finish ripening or almost ready to be fully ripe:

- China White, ripe and some still getting there
- Peluche, low production
- Avri, low production
- Early Red, low production
- Vista White, still green fruits
- KT2-OCBC, this one has lots of fruits and all starting to turn color so it is doing the best.
- KT1, low fruit production
- KT3-KT31, low fruit production
- Big Jim, just ripening, very low production
- most of the other varieties have no fruits.

gumbo, send me a message and let me know if you are interested in the Big Yellow fruit cutting or the Fredericks cuttings.
