Citrus General Discussion / Mihrio mandarin from Greece is seedy or seedless?
« Last post by snowjunky on Today at 12:07:13 AM »
Has anyone tried this Mihrio mandarin?  CCPP says it's seedy then shows pics of a seedless fruit??
They need to clean up their conflicting info and broken links on their website.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Should I be worry about a hole in the bark of my grafted Atemoya?
« Last post by djseaquist on April 17, 2024, 11:54:00 PM »
Today I got my first grafted Annona plant in the form of an African Pride Atemoya (Annona × atemoya). I discovered after I brought it home, there was a hole in the bark below the graft. Is this cause for concern? Will the tree outgrow it?

Then I guess there is still hope. Time to play the waiting game and wish each other the best of luck at grafting it from now until late summer! 😁

I went to a CRFG member's house to pick up my Marcus Pumpkin cuttings and he has 3 large lucuma trees. At least one had fruits, the trees are tall (over 20 ft) so its hard to see what the fruits look like. Maybe when I go back there I will get up on the 10ft ladder and try to get a photo of the fruit to show.

Anyone know how easy it is to graft the tree to a seedling?

I might go over to Alex's place and get a scion wood from him if he has the moist variety that you guys like. If you know which variety is the best tasting let me know and I might check with Alex. I'm not really into lucuma, just checking for Aastair really.

The person who lives here in Fullerton said I can take a few cuttings since we are trading right now.

When I looked up and saw his fruit on this large tree, it seemed to be the pointy tip fruit. Like the first one in the photo above, not the SD fruit.

They seem pretty easy to graft. Maybe similar to citrus or avocado. I had 3/3 succeed a couple years ago in my passive greenhouse. I haven't grafted any in ground yet. Nate at Wildlands did a bunch last year, so he might have better info.

What are the Maui mulberries like? Never heard of them.
I originally got the mulberry from ebay from Hawaii and they called it Maui.
It is a smaller mulberry very sweet and this year it was the earliest to put out
fruit in my collection by a month. It is a very clean tree in humid Florida and a
heavy producer. A customer came by and tried the fruit and bought cuttings.
It also roots fairly easy

Tropical Fruit Discussion / What is going on with the leaves?

Orange Sherbet has a bunch of leaves that look like this top side and underside. I only sprayed copper once months before this happened. Is this anthracnose or Bacterial black spot? It's also affecting some of the new buds. Florida 9B interior

I have found that the Meiwa kumquat taste very  good on own  rooted seedling trees.  They are also quite tasty on Flying dragon rootstock

Looks like the buds on the scions in my previous photo (Mar 19th) have stopped growing.  They look the same today as they do in the photo.  I see many other buds growing out below the graft which I have been removing.  Any other suggestions at this point?  Special fertilizer?
