I had about 80% success rate with Clonex and peat moss but they do take about 4-6 months to root.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: HELP! - Squirrels stealing fruit – Goodnature A18 trap availability??
« on: August 11, 2024, 02:40:41 PM »2nd the recommendation for Squirrelinator. It's a bit on the expensive side but its worked really well for me with minimal effort
58$ on Amazon now. Seems cheaper than when I got them.
Got a link for the $58? I can only find them at $73
Do you use the basin to drown them or?
I have never drowned them but that is what some of the amazon comments suggested.

Squirrelinator works really well. Would recommend buying it with the basin. Basin helps with their transport or if you want to give them a swim lesson!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Best tasting and most reliable Mangos for Southern California
« on: August 09, 2024, 11:13:31 AM »Has anyone try to grow / taste Golden Lady? I believe only Wong farm near palm desert sells this variety?
I know this is a much older post, but Wong farms recently brought some Golden Lady mangos to a farmers market near me and I was extremely impressed. I noted lychee, white grape, honey in my tasting observations.
I haven't found much info about securing a tree or budwood from the farm themselves, but there is a nearby nursery in Riverside by the name of "Utopia Trees" that sell the variety on a manilla rootstock. Apparently, the variety is very cold hardy and does well in Southern California, which makes sense considering the original farm is located in Mecca, CA.
I am looking to add it to my collection, but scions are few and far between since it came out around 2020 and is only coming from this one farm. I think it has a lot of potential to become a California staple.
Are you certain that mango trees sold by "Utopia Trees" are grafted on Manila? When I asked them, they stated that trees are from Florida and grafted on Turpentine.

Finally received my mangoes. They were promptly shipped by seller and were supposed to be delivered on Wednesday but USPS delayed delivery till today (Saturday). Box was beat up and ripped. USPS tried to tape it up and placed in the plastic bag. Upon opening few mangoes were squished, others were OK but a little over ripe due to delayed delivery. All mangoes were individually wrapped and labelled. Seller tried to put as many mangoes as she could. Thank you seller.

Scions received and grafted. Thank you Kaz, for excellent scions as well as extras.
BTW, what is the blue tape you used to tie some of the scions? It seems to be strong but still stretchy and may be good to tie around graft union.

Guava King issues aside, Allahabadi guava can be either white (Safeda) or red (surkha). Red seems to be less common.

I have been growing a Ruby Supreme tree for last few years. I have tried it fruit in different stages and even when completely ripe, flavor is mild at best. I am thinking of getting rid of it.

If you are not opposed to chemical control, Hi-Yield Improved Slug & Snail Bait works well. It contains Metaldehyde.

When fully ripe, it becomes yellow, soft and aromatic. It is sweeter than white Asian guavas but not very sweet.

Kaz is correct that mentioned Asian guavas are not very sweet. They are mildly sweet and crunchy. I have had crystal and pearl guavas. Crystal was a tad bit sweeter than Taiwan century but slow to grow and died on me. I still have pearl guava but like Taiwan century better. I have grafted Pakistani yellow guava and Ahmedabadi guava to Taiwan Century
