I have many pitangatuba seedlings that are well established. Let me know.
thanks. Will keep in mind.

I have plants of both I can send if you're interested in buying.
I may do that if seeds aren’t available.  Are your plants little/mailable?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Cheena
« on: August 31, 2022, 10:25:31 PM »
Chempejak is an English name for crosses of jackfruit and chempedak. There are multiple varieties. Here in Hawaii we have Cheena (or CHNA, NA for Nangka = jackfruit), Nangkadak (introduced by Frankie Sekiya), and Sri Gading (introduced I think by Richard Campbell). I have these three growing and have tried and love the fruit of each of them. I rate Sri Gading as the best. I like them more than jackfruit but I think their fruit is more akin to chempedak and not so comparable to jackfruit. Seedlings of chempejak are highly variable but sometimes quite good.

Aloha, Steph
I bought some Sri gading seeds just a couple days ago.  Are your trees seedling or grafted?  I hope they will survive in Florida 10a

I had a batch of these from seed but only kept one.  I found mixed reports, some people say it is better than jackfruit but others say good jackfruit varieties are better, and that champejack is better.  I haven't tried the fruit yet.
I did not know Cheena and chempejack were different.  Not different names for the same thing?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cheena
« on: August 27, 2022, 05:19:21 PM »
Since Cheena is a hybrid, what kind of consistency in superior fruit can one expect?  Are all Cheena going to taste similar or is there variability?
  Who likes them?  Should I graft one or plant seed?  Who sells a superior grafted one?  Hmmmm, I wonder if a Cheena rootstock topped with a Chempedak scion would succeed in Florida?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pintangatuba pollination
« on: July 20, 2021, 06:22:15 PM »
Hi all! I have a small 2’ bush that is blooming well but does not set any fruit. Does it set better with another plant to cross pollinate? Plenty of bees flying around and taking care of other plants nearby. Maybe more or less water? Plant is potted, full sun, watered 2x per week. Thanks!
I have the same situation/problem.  I’m thinking it needs another plant.  Who’s got a seed?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Fiberless mango ?
« on: July 19, 2021, 07:58:05 PM »
Many low fiber mangos are called, misleadingly, fiberless.  My sweet tart really is fiberless and Young too, I don’t detect fiber in that one .  But others like Valencia pride, Beverly, coconut cream have a little fiber but are still called fiberless .  As far as “no” fiber mangos, what top tier mango is really fiberless as a sweet tart (as a standard to go by)?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Any avocados fruiting September-December?
« on: September 29, 2020, 02:21:06 PM »
My Wurtz tree in Deefield Beach ripened fruit from mid-November through December.  No one mentioned Lula.  Pretty decent flavor, a little sweet.  (Who's the Aussie?)
How old is your Day tree, fruitloopy?  How is the shape?  I've read the description "slender."  Is that accurate?  Is it growing tall?

Day tree is about 28 years old.  Good, small thin skinned. July-Sept. Only gets 15’

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Any avocados fruiting September-December?
« on: September 28, 2020, 02:24:24 PM »
My Day avocado just finished fruiting and my Choquette and Monroe don’t get ripe until December or so.  Can anyone experienced recommend a top notch cultivar that fruits now?  Oily, creamy preferred. Thanks.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Mango scions to trade
« on: August 14, 2019, 05:14:25 PM »
Hi, I am looking for..cotton candy, M4, Guava, Edward . Maybe lemon zest too. I have to trade :  Spirit of ‘76, coconut, Tebow(Young), Glen, Beverly, Kent, sweet tart, lemon meringue, Valencia pride, or (4 different jakfruit cultivars if you prefer)

14
I just wanted to warn others by relating my experience buying seeds from Mexico.   I had USDA labels, paperwork, and USPS tracking numbers for 2 packages of annona seeds from 2 different senders.  After 5 months, trips to the post office, multiple contacts to U.S. Customs and border patrol. USCBP lied to me and claimed that the packages were incorrectly addressed and attempted deliveries failed.  I have a photo of the CORRECTLY addressed package prior to shipment.  I’ve had more success having seeds mailed from halfway around the world by regular mail. Watch out!

15
Have mango scions to trade  & jakfruit....coconut cream, sweet tart, Spirit of ‘76, & red morning, j31, golden pillow, black gold x tabouey, Redlands White sapote...also let me know what mango scions you might have.

16
There are several mango trees popping up under my bigger mangos.  Mostly Glenn...thought about getting some scions for them and veneer grafting.  They, of course are not in full sun.  How do you think they would do?  My atemoya grafts need sun.  Not sure about mango.   Also have some avocados popping up also ..graftable?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Ross sapote grown from seed
« on: April 25, 2019, 11:35:50 AM »
I have two Ross sapote seedlings and have failed at grafting them.  I am considering just planting and hope I get something good.  What do you think?  Has anyone done this? 

20
I want to know the difference in the growth habits of an atemoya grafted to the sugar apple, vs. cherimoya vs. atemoya seedlings.  I only had available some red sugar apples so that’s what I used.  What can I expect? Thanks.....

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Avocado cultivars for spring and summer ?
« on: February 20, 2019, 02:03:04 PM »
What about avocado cultivars for January-July?  I have a Day ( July-October) a Choquette and Monroe (November, December) so there are months without any.  What are some good oily types during this season?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Website not secure!
« on: February 01, 2019, 08:45:44 AM »
Why do I always see this?  In red letters no less.  Can this be repaired?  “Well, of course it can”,you say.  I mean, will someone fix it?

23
This red sugar Apple finally picked and eaten. 1 pound 6 ounces. I was worried it would only be big and not that great tasting, but it was juicy, very sweet and wonderful. One of the best fruits you can eat...and grow.





24
I would like to know the best tropical fruit markets on Oahu and Hawaii....relatives will be visiting.  Thanks

You would think that dipping fresh picked fruit into some type of fungicide solution would destroy the fungus spores on the fruit. I have been meaning to try dipping a few mangoes in chlorinated pool water as an experiment.   

I read (but have forgotten specifics) that hot water at a certain temp and duration, will kill the skin borne anthracnose.
