The Tropical Fruit Forum

If you guys are feeling it should totally submit a report to the new project im working on, www.rarefruitgrower.com  My thoughts on it being that it'd be good to be able to make all of our reports on different growing successes in a more easily accesible format!

"This variety is extremely delicious and if you don’t believe that then I accept return."

lol

lol

i really wonder if this person sells anything, you'd have to to continue listing them at this price, right? Totally bonkers lol

Yep should have some soon, also have one seedling with variegated cotyledons  Stoked!

Got my plant originally from Exotica, not sure where they sourced theirs from

I gave one to Rick and his was flowering! Hopefully some of mine will start up here soon.

These seedlings are from seeds imported from Brazil! They are probably the same batch but should be genetically distinct enough to provide pollen as a distinct parent.

Howdy everyone, the national heirloom vegetable expo is going to ventura this year and I as well as some other tropical fruit vendors will be vending.  I'm including a list of the things i'll be bringing. Thanks and look forward to meeting socal people!

Thanks everyone!

I see your P striatulum is doing the cleistogamous (don't open) flowers thing. My plant didnt do it for the first few years now its common on my mother and all the seedlings. My mother started producing opened flowers this year but still a good bunch of them are cleistogamous.  Wonder if its a recessive trait that is due to inbreeding due to a lack of genetic diversity.  Would be great to get some different genetics to breed that trait out.  The fern leaf I gave you has so many seedlings from that batch of seeds that are not fern leafed and i wonder if its related to P striat due to visual similarities, maybe can use that to cross.

Nice to see the thread updated. Looking good K-rimes
My eugeniafolia are not ripening lol. Been taking so long...

Psidiums seem to sit for everrr and then all of a sudden ripen up. my longipetiolatum sized up and then ripened months later

Has anybody tried removing the endocarp per Ronnie Demler's methods and not soaked in GA3?  I'm thinking of trying to remove the endocarp to speed up germination but not sure if the GA3 will be a requirement to break dormancy?

Nattyfroootz - Thank you for the support brother! For anyone who doesnt know this is the guy that runs https://www.wildlandsplants.com/  -  Check them out if you havent already. Its a great site that has some great plant info, and a shop with cool species for sale. They are also the only provider of merch to my knowledge (shirts, sticker, etc), and the art is SICK!

Thanks Kameron! Appreciate the shout out!

These seedlings have grown very well for me. They didn't show any damage over winter.

Thanks Jet!
