Citrus General Discussion / Re: Isn’t c-35 highly incompatible with any type of eureka?

« Last post by kulasa on Today at 07:27:29 AM »

Yes, that chart. Thank you.

I think it kinda does. That US' chart's info on eureka's compatibility with c-35 is "no information", probably due to lack of testing/trials. I do not think the type of graft nor the budding would matter when it comes to determining compatibility. I guess the Australian chart made it clear that trifoliate and its hybrids are incompatible with Eureka?

RS, the pizza-sized jabo container is Maccourt "plantainer". I got it at Home Depot. The bigger ones are a little pricey otherwise but good quality. They were marked down on clearance once so I bought a bunch of them. I use the larger 20gal ones also

The smaller containers in the air are plastic foodservice containers from leftover corporate catering, takeout, and such.

Brian thanks for the container info! You've just revolutionized my jabo growing

Very jealous, you have the best of both worlds with all the temperate fruits you can grow outside plus the tropical greenhouse.

Finding a house with a yard that can handle these beauties can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack! Especially if you're planning a move and need to consider a whole new climate.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Ruby vs. Ruby Supreme Guave

« Last post by Rispa on Today at 04:22:29 AM »

Ruby Supreme is link, has seeds (I don't think it has a many, but I don't have much experience with how many other cultivars have). It can be eaten hard and is good with a little salt. It can be ripened and eaten as a sweet dessert. Ripen past that and it makes a good air freshener.

The macrophylla Mike was talking about

I got this one for $65 😮 completely rotten on the inside and the outside was dried out too. Got 2 large seeds and two smaller seeds which are hopefully all viable

Ordered some of the di bico a while seeds really hope they make it though

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Carissa/Natal plum ...

« Last post by ramiroflores on Today at 04:01:18 AM »

I have a Natal plum which is about 10 years old, 6 ft high and about 4 ft wide ... I have never pruned it ... should I prune it and if so, when? At the moment it has lots of fruit on it ... so probably not best to do it now?

Citrus General Discussion / I have the problem.

« Last post by Chaused on Today at 04:01:06 AM »

Hi. My Bearss lime has outgrown its container (22" in diameter) and I need a larger one. It would be convenient to build one out of cedar DYI, add soil, and replant the tree.

However, cedar and redwood leach a lot of tannic acid and possibly other stuff. Would that be a concern?

Lining the inside with fiberglass would not be cost effective....

Thanks.
