I tasted a few CORG's from a friend's tree, it is a seedling tree that is over 5yrs old. The fruits were very sweet, and the seeds were very small, he called it Seedless Deborah. I took some photos and have it somewhere in my computer folders. Do you know how sweet they get, brix?
My other fruit friend Dan has a large tree and his CORG fruits were good, and I measured those brix = 11 to 12.
Good way to avoid a hernia too! Woohoo!!
Maybe the FMF organizers would like to know this so they can vet the vendors better.
Even if it was our fault for being so gullible, there is no place for a vendor like that at a Mango Festival.
Looking good so far. For Yangmei, buds can push and then suddenly die back. I consider it a success when the first flush fully hardens.
For the Cerifera, it usually takes about 3-4 weeks for mine to root out in warm weather.
What K Rimes said is correct I believe. I always protect mine if we have severe cold coming. D
Fantastic. Do you have one in ground?
The people on this forum are so hard to please lol. I wish i could have gone but oh well maybe in the future
I lost both my Cribrata down to the roots, they are looking huge again.
What did them in to die back? I feel like mine was doing mostly good in winter and then it dropped leaves a few months back.
One of the easier ones. In a pot pushed just below soil surface and covered in a well draining potting medium. Almost never fails. An easy sprouter. I do community pots often.
No significant losses from the community pot method?
These oddball guavas are not like guajava. They generally have soft seeds that you barely notice. Their flavor is not "stinky" like guajava either, it's something quite different that I would suggest is more candy, sweet with a real bright undertone. I like guajava of course, all of them aside from the crunchy stuff, but I think these other species are worth a serious look at and definitely are top of mind for me to create a hybrid. The size of guajava + sweet sour of the "big yellow" would be top tier stuff.
A lot of them seem by their descriptions to be wonderful candidates for container culture and overwintering indoors. Seems I've been sleeping on this genus. How large in general do they need to be to fruit?
Isn't dasyblasta supposed to be quite cold tolerant by comparison with different flavor?
