Kaz is correct that mentioned Asian guavas are not very sweet. They are mildly sweet and crunchy. I have had crystal and pearl guavas. Crystal was a tad bit sweeter than Taiwan century but slow to grow and died on me. I still have pearl guava but like Taiwan century better. I have grafted Pakistani yellow guava and Ahmedabadi guava to Taiwan Century
Hi, is my first message!
I've a 2 years old Icepeach tree, I'll harvest some fruits this year.
Can try Planting Justice in Oakland. I think they ship as well. bestMy seedlings stopped growing and are too small for grafting. I am looking for seedlings to purchase as rootstock and will touch base if I find them. Otherwise, I may have to postpone any scions. Thank you!
Is the tree grafted or are you saying it's producing fruit from a seed planted in the ground or with no graft ?
Just an obligatory post to remind everyone to keep an eye out for cherimoya variety Rudy #1. An excellent hybrid selection that will hopefully be found and propagated before it disappears forever. Please let me know if you have or know anyone who might have Rudy #1/RH1 variety. Thanks
They say to graft when the rootstock has leaves the size of squirrels ears. I get 100 % takes this way.
I don't have squirrels in my area. How big are their ears?
I have a couple of suggestions for you.
Remove all weeds and organic matters around the trunk.
Make a ring of rock 3-4” around trunk.
Add 2” of pebbles and sand inside the ring.
Those make it hot and dry for the pests.
Wrap the wound with foil to block sun and wind.
It speed up callusing.
Try them.
