Will both Joe and K-Rimes be driving there to pick up or just one person depending on the day the trees arrive? Would it be possible for whoever picks up to do one drop in OC as well? Please pick up my trees as well. Thank you for doing this. I live in Tustin and I know a few folks on here are also in OC area.  My house is about 1.5 miles from freeway 5 so it would be a convenient dropoff point on the way to San Diego for OC folks.  I'd be happy to be a distribution point for those who would like to have their trees picked up and dropped off in OC if Joe or K-Rimes is willing to do that.  Thank you for volunteering your time. I too will gladly pitch in for your time and gas. I also vote for soaking the trees in RO water with B1 during their journey down to SoCal.  I think the trees would be somewhat dehydrated after the days of travel from China.  It would be good to rehydrate their roots with the soaking in water.  After arriving in SoCal, I think they should be kept in moist peat moss until they are picked up. It'd be great to have the inputs and wisdom of others as well.

Bill,

Since the order is closed, when are you planning on putting in the order and what time frame do you think we may pick the trees in the US? Can you please communicate with the sellers to make sure there are no bugs so they don't get held up for fumigation. Thank You.

Hi. I have the kaffir lime but I don't recommend you buying live trees because of the spread of citrus greening disease. I'm pretty sure that I have seeds if you want to get some.  I have to check my tree tomorrow.

Thank you for all your effort Bill. I would like to buy the following please.  Thank you so much. I'm from Southern California but my brother lives in the Bay area so I will have him personally pick the trees up.

Three soursop plants for sale $60 each. Plants about two and a half feet tall in 3 and 5 gallon pots. Local pick up in Tustin CA. Please text 7142617323. Thank you.

I got 2 of 6 so far. I think one or two were black at the pointed end, maybe insect damage?

Hi all. I did three grafts of soursop onto Honeyhart cherimoya in mid August.  It seems like all three took. The scions were collected from a small seedling soursop. The cherimoya is in ground. Seems like green on green works well. I am trying to grow soursop in southern California so hopefully the cherimoya will give it a few more degrees of hardiness. Will update after this winter. I have seen pictures of a woman who was able to fruit them in the ground in Orange County with winter protection on very cold nights.
