The Tropical Fruit Forum

My 1st Big Red









Now if I could just find my teeth I would eat this thing?

My first Tim atemoya. The fruit split and I had no choice to beat the ants
I think I have 15 more on the tree

I bought 13 cuttings from 4-5 types of dragon fruits about 3 months ago,
I was going to bury a 6" x 6" post and place 4 on each post and was wondering if I should mix the types?
I have 5 sugar dragons and could put 4 on one post or I could mix them with
with the others? I plan on putting 3 posts in the ground in one area.

THANKS

To thin or not to thin, My Supersweet white sapote is loaded with fruit for the first time.
It had 3 last year and dropped them early.
I notice a few have dropped off but there are some clusters with up to 10 fruit.
The tree is around 5 years old and 8 feet tall and 8' feet wide probably 70+
fruit on it. Do they thin themselves like an orange tree or should I pull some?

I have decided to apply a root drench to some plants that has Mycorrhizal Fungi.
I use a synthetic miracle grow and wondered if it would destroy the Mycorrhizal Fungi?

I sort of decided to do some trial and error but would appreciate some feedback if anyone has
experience?


Thanks

I have heard some interesting discussions on which rootstock to graft atemoya.
I have never heard anyone mention grafting atemoya on another atemoya seedling?
I wonder if anyone has tried it?
I was told that an atemoya will only live about 10-12 years on sugar apple rootstock?

I recently read several articles that state pine needles and oak leaves actually don't lower the ph of soil?
OK so back to sulpher. How much do you add per tree and how often? I was told a handful every 6 months
but I was hoping to hear from others on their experience. I plan to add only to trees in the ground.

Thanks for feedback

red jabos    1.00ea  some are starting to germinate
pitangatuba 1.00ea  limited

I started 3 types of jabos from seed last year including sabara, branco vinho, and red.
The red is 3x bigger and it was the smallest one out of 10!

I am interested in trades if you have something?
I also have a ton of almost ripe peanut butter fruit that should be ready in a week

Here is a picture of the 9 month old red jabo already in a 3 gallon next to a yearling sabara
This red jabo was the smallest of 10
