The Tropical Fruit Forum

Was browsing Etsy last night, which one of you is selling Eugenia seedlings for $2500 and 2 inch annona seedlings for $700?! Not trying to knock the hustle but goddamn

Anybody know what might be going wrong with my monkey puzzle tree? Tree is Atleast a decade old and has been doin fine until this year and more than half the trees branches have gone brown in the past couple months and is getting worse. Thought it might be the bananas in the back shading it out a little from one direction but cleared some away to open up some light

Thought you guys might find this interesting. The area I live in is an old apple orchard and I still have some of the original trees on the property. Probably somewhere over 50 years old.

I grew a wonderful pomegranate from seed 10+ yrs ago and kept it in a container for the probably the first 7. It flowered briefly for two years until i planted it in ground with protection in the winter. It has yet to flower again.  Any tips/methods for getting this thing to flower again?

I have a few fruit on my tree right now and trying to time the ripening of the fruit. Any tell-tale signs to look out for? Are these a hard crunchy variety or softer?

Fall/Winter is upon us so I'm trying to offload some randoms/duplicates. Greenhouse space is valuable nowadays

Have plenty of dragon fruit cuttings too, I believe them to be American beauty

I bought a tree from an online seller out of PR, was supposed to be a grafted maprang. The foliage had me a little skeptical but now its flowering and I'm really having second thoughts. This is a mango isn't it?

Can anybody ID this bamboo species? Trying to determine if this is one of the edible types.

Been moving plants in and out of the greenhouse this month and recently noticed my dragonfruit vines have rotted out at the bottom. Definitely due to staying too wet over the winter. There is a ton of aerial roots. How can this be salvaged? Should I just mound up with more substrate and hope the aerial roots take over or should I take cuttings and start over?

I've been trying to figure out what I'm actually growing for a while now and I gota admit I'm stumped. I bought this tree a super long time ago and if I remember correctly it was a three plant special (key lime, orange, and lemon) The lemon for sure died back in the day and the other tree produces 0 fruit but makes typical orange flowers. I assumed my heavy producer was the key lime. I've always used the fruit as a lime as it tastes like one, very sour. However, one year I left a ton of fruit on the tree for too long. The fruits got much larger and bright orange but still super sour. Any ideas?

This is going to be my first year attempting to graft stone fruit, persimmons, and pecans. When is the optimal time of year to graft these type of trees? Can a freeze/frost kill a fresh scion if grafted too early in the season? Im in Zone 7a

Also have scions waiting in the fridge for the past few weeks. Is there a certain shelf life on these things?

Just gona throw this out there with low expectations...anybody have or know where I can find Ficus Dammaropsis seeds for sale?

What organic methods you guys using to control or eliminate scale on your trees? Between manually picking them off or blasting off with the hose its a never ending battle.
