Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Ruby vs. Ruby Supreme Guave
« Last post by sc4001992 on Today at 02:29:25 AM »
I just saw a fruit of Ruby Supreme and it looks like a good one, with lots of tropical guava aroma.

But the fruit I had picked off the ground was over ripe so not a good one to determine the taste of it. I got some cuttings, so I hope to get some fruits in a few years. The fruit I had looks similar to this photo of the Ruby Supreme but more over ripe if you can picture that. Flesh was dark pink, almost red.

MedallionBell, welcome.

You should start your own post about your tree and air layering.

This post is about One Seed Loquat fruits. Of course, if you tree has fruits with one see like I see in your photo then you are on the right post. So does most of your loquat fruits have only 1 seed as your photo shows?

To answer you question, yes air layering a tree that large is good since you can get many plants from it. You can search "air layer" on YouTube, the technique they use applies to most fruit trees.

I have many larger loquat trees, but it is just too much of a hassle for me to have air layers on the tree. I hear from people who do it, it will take 4-6 months to get enough roots to be able to cut it off the tree. If someone has any seedling loquat that is about 1/4" diameter thick, it's much easier to graft it from your tree and the roots will be much stronger on that grafted plant. I would think any air layered plant could take 1 year before its roots start to be strong enough to start growing out without keeping it in the shade. My air layered lychee plants took 2 years after removing from mother tree before it could be put in direct sun to continue to grow.

Here's what the Ruby Supreme fruit I saw looks like, but not as big as they say in the website.

https://www.logees.com/guava-ruby-supreme-psidium-guajava.html

Also, the fruit I saw did have most fragrance than any other soft flesh guava I have, but this fruit was on the ground and over ripe. I'll try to show a photo of it later. The brix I measured was 14.

Ok, found this photo, it looks more like the fruit I had.



Anyone else grow the Ruby Supreme?

Barak, I do have the Mexican Cream variety so if you are interested in a cutting (for trade?) let me know since I'm grafting my Sylvia guava to all my Home Depot Mexican Cream trees.

Malhar, so is your Pakistan Larkana tree large enough to start holding fruit yet? Did you taste it on your tree?

I got cutitngs of the Taiwanese Long, Indonesian Seedless, and two other varieties from this person. He mentioned the same about 2 of these large white flesh guava fruits. He said the fruit starts out hard (size is medium-large) but if you wait until the outside of the fruit starts to turn a little yellow, then it gets a little softer and is sweet (for a guava).

I found another guava fruit on the ground there, it was not the hard crunchy type, it was more like the Sylvia guava, the fruit gets pretty soft when ripe. I noticed this fruit which is about the same size as the Mexican Cream (2-3" long) because the inside flesh was pink/red. After I asked about it, he said it was called Ruby Supreme. He got it from a nursery.

The other guava cutting I just got is called Indonesian Seedless Guava (good when eaten soft. Sweet pineapple/guava flavor). Is anyone growing this one, or has tried the fruits?

The person who has this tree said it will get a little yellow on the outside when fully ripe on the tree, and a little soft, taste is sweeter than the other two varieties he grows (Giant Taiwanesse Long, and Taiwanese Seedless).

The White  Peruvian guava I have tasted really good in some year and bland the other year. Maybe it has something to do with the long rainy season and watering schedule. I don't live in the property now, so it is hard to arrange the watering schedule
 I grew up eating Indonesian seedless guava,  in my humble opinion it is good, but not really good that it is worth to import a tree. The good Peruvian guava is better than the Indonesian seedless, more creamy and bigger.

New to the group and happy to be here!  I have a large Loquat tree.  I am considering a project of air layering so I can provide more people with starts that would produce fruit sooner.  Does anyone have thoughts on this?  I have included pictures of my tree and the fruit.

Thank you!
