If you can get Gary top pot soil then it will flourish.
If you can't, then you can mix it yourself. Use builders sand, pumice/ perlite and peatmoss or instead of peat moss, use 40% dirt.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Real name for Birula atemoya?
« on: October 06, 2023, 12:47:55 AM »I didn't know about his tree getting cut off by the gardener. That was very good that you had one of his grafted trees. I remember when he mentioned he had the budsport on his tree. I have not seen the fruit in person, but it sure looks nice. Really appreciate you sharing the budwood this year. I hope my grafts have fruit in a few years. At least it has been saved by you and others who grafted your budwood.
Yes. Its a budsport of birula. He showed me the scion of the budsport. Unfortunately, his gardener did a shitty job.
Once ripe. I'll share u some yellow birula.

Yellow birula is a budsport of birula. It was accidentally pruned by his gardener. I was lucky to obtained a tree from him.
Here is a photo of yellow birula 3 or 4 yrs ago from a very small graft.
Now is matured enough..i should be able to get bigger fruits.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: How does ilama REALLY taste, and what would you rate it ?/10
« on: October 04, 2023, 04:14:09 PM »I'd say it is only suited for the more advanced growers.
Hold my beer…
I haven’t heard of any success in growing this fruit in SoCA with a few possible exceptions. Would still love to taste it based on K-Rimes experience in El Salvador
JF have successfully grew ilama var rosada and had fruited multiple years.
Currently, he has a fruiting guillermo and genova and forgot the other var which are currently growing fruitlets right now.

Gozp, I will need to try them side by side. I didn't know Nabal is that good, glad I got some scion wood from Brad and have it grafted on the same tree with my Sharwill.
you can never go wrong on both varieties both top tier.

I got 2 lacatans. They are fairly small. I also got the sugarloaf pineapples.
Probably 2-3 yrs these bananas will produce. I live in the valley so It will be little harsh compare to your area.

« on: September 28, 2023, 07:38:57 PM »Have you seen the yellow fruits on your tree ?
I do have a Lisa tree and it grows slow, not as vigorous as the Birula grafted trees.
Yellow birula. Once they start to ripen the color changes to yellow.
I know i uploaded yellow birula somewhere in TFF.

If i recall correctly, birula is a seedling of lisa where JF obtained from exotica nursery. I got to confirm with him.
Birula aka super lisa is more prolific than lisa.
Yellow birula which JF claimed was a budsport of birula. I am currently growing it & approx 50 fruits on it.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Lakatan banana
« on: September 22, 2023, 03:28:13 PM »I got a lakatan from them a while back in a mixed banana bundle. They were all really small. Like 6 or 7 inches tall. I probably planted them a little to close to each other in a banana circle. The grand nain took off. It's got a bunch ripening right now. The dwarf namwah took off. It's got a bunch ripening. (And the biggest trunk ever on a banana stalk, like 14"+ at the base. It's fantastic)... The lakatan has grown to about 24" and skinny at that. I'm sure it needs more sun. Maybe I'll move it someday... at least it will be easy to carry when I do.
pls take photos of the lacatan.
By any chance, are you growing saba variety or any nurseries that have it there?

Thanks Simon. Afyer years of growing I finally found the best recipe of growing trees. It all comes with the soil for a better chance of growth & survival. At least, its not growing on compost. 🤣
