« on: September 02, 2025, 05:24:32 PM »They seem to hate direct sunlight. They get leaf burns all the time. Its my bad for not doing research before planting them in ground lol
The light shade cover isn't enough. They still get burn
Stick 'em in full shade or have higher % shade cloth. They scorch easily here as well when young.
Will they be able to tolerate sunlight as they grow bigger?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Do African pride Atemoya have round end leaf?
« on: September 02, 2025, 04:13:21 PM »No, it should be a thinner, pointed leaf. Your seedling probably went back to cherimoya characteristics.Ah I see. So this is the cherimoya character showing. It's very cool to see it suddenly making rounded leaf 😆

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Do African pride Atemoya have round end leaf?
« on: September 02, 2025, 03:54:55 PM »
This is an AP seedlings I grew from the fruit I ate. I notice it got round edge leaf mix with pointy leaf. I'm wondering if that's a normal AP characteristics(or just normal Atemoya)?

Wow, thank you for participating everyone. The only number left are 18 and 20.
I got the pups wrapped up and ready to go. Winners will receive 2 pups like you see in the pictures here.
And dont worry, I had shipped them to my friends just like this before so I know they will survive just fine after you put them in dirt.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Yangmei (Morella/Myrica rubra) thread
« on: August 27, 2025, 07:54:34 PM »Update on my Yangmei trees.
First one here is a Cocktail tree grafted with Dongkui, Black Crystal, and Late Growing/late crystal on Californica rootstock. All the graft unions got buried. So maybe now its all formed its own root systems. Still looking healthy so far.
Next is a imported Black Carbon. Doing very well
Last one is Dongkui grafted on Californica. This tree is recovering from transplant.
I think I should be able to get some fruits next year
How old are these trees? They're looking awesome!

The blue java flower
I will be digging up these 3 pups so there might be more than 1 winner (depending on how well I can dig them out with roots intact)

I got 1 1/2 left out of 3. One completely dead. One might die soon since it is showing sign of root failure.
One in ground is slowly establishing and showing new growth so hopefully this one will continue to be good 👍🏻

I got a couple friends to taste testing Maha and Orange sherbet. One of them is completely new to the mango world(he only knew generic grocery store mango)
Orange sherbet remain the top tier mango in my book!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Yangmei (Morella/Myrica rubra) thread
« on: July 28, 2025, 01:32:07 PM »Hey Simon. Do Yangmei want dry soil or want to be water all the time?
I believe consistent wet conditions is what brews the bacterial bad guys. A super well draining, very low organic matter soil mix would be my choice. I would think lots of sand, pumice, or mineral soils could be choice. I have one planted at the ranch in very well draining soil, and only water once a week despite being a small tree. It seems to be doing well. We'll see if it lasts (doubt it!)
Thanks Krimes. I haven't been watering it much either. So I hope I'm doing the right thing too!

Now I only have 2 that survived out of 15 this time.My Yangmei is also showing sign of that symptoms. We'll see how long it last
