Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Must-have eugenias (based on flavor)
« on: March 27, 2024, 09:15:48 AM »
My Eugenia neosilvestris from Marcos fruited and gotta say it is in an excellent fruit. Great flavor with a brix of 26! I gave several of these away but not sure how they are doing. I stuck six in the ground and am now glad I did. Definitely one to have. Slow growers and can do very well in pots. I cant find my notes but I think I got them in 2018 or 2019? Only one has flowered and fruited so far. The birds have stolen more fruit than Ive got.

That's a really pretty cross-section photo. How big are your fruit? The other images I've seen of neosilvestris showed really tiny fruits.

 they are about the size of a grumichama. maybe slightly smaller. I heard they can be grafted on grumichama too.

 I fruited E hiemalis at the beginning of February. I was able to grab one fruit and it was sweet with no astringency. I let the others hang and thought I would sample some more throughout the week and all I found were seeds underneath the tree. Ive been fighting the birds a little this year. Makes a nice little hedge so far.

« on: March 24, 2024, 01:03:07 PM »

 I fruited a couple 'Regina' seedlings. I got seeds from MiguelPt several years ago. They are best uniflora I've had. No resinous flavor at all and sweet. Mine hasnt had a lot of flowers but I just popped it in the ground so maybe it will improve flowering. I'll try to remember to get a brix on next fruit.

















 I planted the seed from these first 'Regina' fruits and fruited the first one this week and it produced a very beautiful red fruit, good flavor with no resin and a brix of 16.

Will you have seeds available at some point?

 maybe..I will have seedlings available in a couple months.

6
Nice how long has your tree been fruiting!? Mine is flowering this year.

   I have three seedlings that fruited last year for first time. They seem to grow a little different than my other unifloras. More of a weeping habit with some upright growth but easy to shape it. brix of 18.

7
 my seeds originally sourced from Seeds Hunter. scions from fruiting tree. this is the best tasting uniflora Ive had. sweet with no resin.

 budwood is chopstick/pencil size or a little smaller 6"-8"

 will come wrapped in buddy tape

SOLD OUT[/b][/u]

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Anyone growing rare artocarpus?
« on: February 26, 2024, 07:27:04 AM »


 I had a flowering chempedak that was a double rootstock on heterophyllus but a hurricane took it out one year. I have a flowering lakoocha and planted a pedalai last year that is around 12' now. I had a keledang but killed it somehow. Would like to find a seedling again as the seeds aways seem to rot before they arrive in the mail.

taking new orders

13
Any guess on frost hardiness on these? What elevation were they found at?

Beautiful fruits. Thanks for offering this unique opportunity.

 not too sure on hardiness but I believe Adam at Flying Fox is growing a Annona cornifolia unprotected so there could be some tolerance of frost in the nutans x cornifolia hybrid.

SOLD OUT


 Annona punicifolia (extremely limited) (fruiting tree) - SOLD OUT - my seeds came from forum member (Lilith-vzla) in 2018 and tree fruited first time this year. Fruit is very similar to the aff nutans (light sweet with carrot/pumpkin flavor)I'm also offering being just a smaller fruit. The growth is somewhat slow and tree is shrub-like. It also has spines that are created from branch die-back. I have two trees growing but only one has fruited. I will label them #1 and #2 if you request both. Scions will come wrapped in buddy tape. I can get different size scions if you want larger sizes just clarify when ordering. I have grafted this to glabra and it grew good at first but has had branch die back. I grafted one on montana that seems to be doing ok just growing slow. I have had more luck using montana and cherimoya for rootstock of these more rare species. I will be adding a few more species. Shipping will be $10 USPS Priority Mail.













 Annona sp from Bolivia likely hybrid btw (nutans x cornifolia) - fruiting tree - SOLD OUT I received budwood from GRIN in 2019 and grafted to glabra. I fruited that in a year and planted the seeds and grew out some seedlings that have started fruiting since last year. The seedlings seem variable in flavor as I have one that is more sweet than others. It has a nice light flavor of carrot/pumpkin. The skin is so thin its not noticeable when eating. Ive noticed that the fruit can continue hanging even when fully colored up and soft and it will allow it to sweeten up more. Trees can be kept smaller and shrublike though they do have tendency to grow longer lateral branches and respond well to pruning. Trees begin flowering after 3 years of age. Fruit can be colors from oranges to red. I have grafted this to glabra, montana, and cherimoya and cherimoya appears to make the best graft.












Annona (Rollinia) herzogii - seeds from RarePalmSeeds in 2019 - Flowered only - SOLD OUT






Annona salzmannii - my tree came from Berto's fruiting tree - SOLD OUT - my tree is grafted on glabra. Ive also grafted these on montana. Ive even seen one grafted on cherimoya that may dwarf it but too soon to tell.









Annona muricata 'Whitman's Fiberless' - grafted tree from Flying Fox - SOLD OUT

Annona muricata - 'Yucatan' - from forum member by way of Frank - SOLD OUT - no flowers

Annona muricata - 'Yellow' - my tree is from seeds from Australia - flowers only no fruit - SOLD OUT - leaves have yellow inflections which is supposed to verify it is the yellow variety.

Annona muricata - 'Itabuna' - fruiting tree - SOLD OUT - my tree is from Berto who had the fruit in Itabuna, Brazil. My tree fruited a couple years ago and it produces an excellent fruit with extremely low fiber. Skin peels off very easy when ripe.












Annona montana - sweet flesh variety from Marcos in Argentina seeds planted in 2019 - no flowers or fruit - SOLD OUT limited

Annona dioica - I have a few trees growing and they came from two different sources. - flowers no fruit - SOLD OUT (extremely limited)[/s]

Annona sp 'Cerrado' - seeds from SeedsHunters in 2020 - SOLD OUT scion (extremely limited) fruited first time in November last year but fruit dropped and animal got it.

Dream SOLD OUT
Australian SOLD OUT


Reticulata:

 wow, no flowers at 15ft!

 how old is the tree?

16

 the fruit they use in their post is different than the one I saw...pedunculata that i saw posted had a thick rind with red/orange flesh

 actually it looks like they use several different species in their post.. brasiliensis, dulcis and a couple others

17
FYI, I wouldn’t consider this a fruit good to eat out of hand. This is mostly used in cooking to make sour soup and popular in Bangladesh where I grew up.

 have you personally tried it? I saw someone post that theirs tasted similar prainiana

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Wanted: Fusaea longifolia
« on: January 28, 2024, 02:10:16 PM »
I'm looking for this species too.  I bought some seeds from Bellamy a few months ago, and they haven't germinated yet.  I guess I haven't given up on them quite yet, but if they're like other Annonas, my germination rate has never been very high.  I even tried GA3 on one of the seeds to no avail.  But I'll let you know if one of them germinates.  I'm not sure if it can be air-layered or grafted to an Annona, but certainly it can be attempted.

Kevin

 yeah ive tried ga3 twice and no dice...i have a few seeds Ive been trying germinate for a months but not sure if this is one that needs to be very fresh or just very low germination rates.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Psidium ID needed - seeds from Bellamy
« on: October 10, 2023, 09:29:27 PM »
Best bet would be to search your email and list all the psidiums you've bought. #1 and 2 looks like a P. guavaja or close, #3 and 4 looks like catley, robusta, longipetiolata. Maybe P. myrtoides/eugeniaefolia? I remember he had some of those for cheap. They could be rare species too though no doubt. I don't see much info on Psidium spp Goiaba Da Amazônia, but I'd guess it's a P. guavaja, so could be #1 and 2.

 yeah i only got the rare species..none of the ones you listed i know for sure.

 I tried to search my old emails but mustve deleted some....I figured i would come here to see if anyone else have grown some out and could compare leaves since they seem fairly unique on some species..

 I lost a couple tags and could use help identifying these. One could possibly be Psidium spp Goiaba Da Amazônia...
