What's the name of the nursery?

Define decent . I'm just asking because I bought from them for 15 years and I thought that the issues I had were me. I'm not hoping to ruin these people's business at all. I finally figured out that I had to spray the hell out of everything I bought from them for scale and fungus and definitely change the soil. Nothing I have bought from A Natural farm has had those problems. Nothing from Pokey's has had those problems. None of the stuff I got from Florida Nursery Mart had those problems. None of the stuff that I brought back from Cali or Phoenix have had those problems. The list could go on. I want to support them but they have to tighten up. They have to tighten up. They used have everything and now not so much. It's like Pine Island Nursery. Years ago, if it was on their website,  they had it. Now it's very hit or miss.  Pro-tip if you are vendor and you see this. Customers hate having their time wasted. If it ain't in stock don't have it on your site or have it listed as "not in stock". Just Fruits and Exotics does a great job of that. I will definitely buy from them again.

BTW I love this FORUM!!!!!!

Lara Farms! I will be back. I need more caimitos and a red cherimoya.

Abso-f******-lutley beautiful!

How long does it take to produce tubers or seeds?

Man that is a tragedy. I have never seen any thing like it. Too bad that you didn't have a tree available to graft some scions on too. Is it possible to get another tree? My are all in pots and never subjected to those sort of wind stresses.

There could be several reasons why that happened. You should check the soil to see if it is well draining and aerated. If the plant has been in that pot for several years, it could be in the soil.

The soil is mostly peat and perlite with some vermiculite and some toposil

Looks like the pitombas on my tree. Eugenia luschnathiana. Mine had a funky resin flavor and were sour. I let them die. 

I may or may not tru pitomba again since they fruit fast but they seemed to be a disappointment for me like pitangatuba and surinam cherries I have purchased. They were low producers and I didn't like the fact that they were sour.

Bummer. They cleft graft pretty easy. I have a few with scions from FL.

Does it hybridize with other vacciniums?

I'm about to make an order from Madison Citrus Nursery. Does anybody know about or have experience with Moro x Tarocco Blood Orange? I'm also getting a Lakeland limequat and harvey lemon.

My question is why don't the get eradicated if it is a noxious plant? Is there some benefit?

They can kiss my.....HAHAHAHAHA Those rascals say they are out of stock on website. I'm not paying $100 for a 3 gal especially not a Cali style 3 gal. I will be in Phoenix Saturday. I might hit San Diego. Anybody have an idea where the wax apples are in that area. There is a Mimosa that I visited in Rosemead. It was kinda crazy. There was some old codger there and he was talking shit and he acted like he didn't give a shit . I got a good laugh out of it. The plants didn't look that good though. I wouldn't mind the ride if I can score some nice plants.
