I believe Nate (nattyfrootz) mentioned he has a large male tree.

Thanks Nate, I keep forgetting about that. Hopefully we can get some scions and start grafting.

I’m still hopeful that one of us will get more male trees in case the grafting fails.

Howdy everyone, been keeping a bit quiet about this but I'll be selling around 40 or 50 yangmei seedlings in the next week or so. You can find more info at www.wildlandsplants.com. I'll post here when I do ultimately post the plants for sale. I'll also have Male Scion wood to trade (In spring of 2022) to anyone who wants it from a plant thats probably about 4 or 5 years old. You can subscribe to my email list in order to get updates on when plants are listed for sale!

Thank you!

Despite my best efforts, my yangmeis didn't make it, even the rootstock. I chalk it up to being really hot and dry where I live. If I tried to spin the wheel again, I'd definitely employ a humidity dome and humidifier like Spaugh and Simon used - clearly helped since both of their success rates was statistically better. Nate in SC also probably has a more mellow climate than mine, so, definitely not an easy task up here at high elevation inland CA - but I did my best!

I'll leave them sitting for awhile and see if anything comes from the roots but am definitely not holding out any hope.

I got some of last ones left (3 plants), one looks dead (didn't have much roots) but the other two are now finally starting to grow (An Hai).

Here's how much root they had. The two on the right made it, the DK on left never grew new buds.

Pictures taken today, 7/7/21, below:

spaugh · « **Reply #531 on:** July 07, 2021, 05:36:59 PM »

I have an An Hai that just started to grow leaves in the last week.

JCorte · « **Reply #532 on:** July 07, 2021, 06:04:47 PM »

I have one An Hai and one Biqi with growth above and below grafts and two others growing from rootstock. Mine have been outside under the eaves of my house getting late afternoon sun when/if the clouds clear. It’s been really cool in my garden all spring and summer so far with high temps just now getting into the 70’s so growth has been slow. Happy to share scion when plants get big enough.

Hey Janet, nice work! Be careful with the sun, I think they’re pretty sensitive to it still, I slightly burned a couple of my newly pushing buds early on and it was only in partial/marine layer sun in the early morning and late afternoon. I’ve kept it in full shade since and it seems happy, and still pushing new growth.

FV Fruit Freak · « **Reply #534 on:** July 07, 2021, 07:19:46 PM »

Is anyone else giving theirs sun? I’m scurred.

roblack · « **Reply #535 on:** July 07, 2021, 07:48:37 PM »

Mine is in the sun much of the day. It's been overcast and rainy a bit lately. Seems to be doing just fine.

JCorte · « **Reply #536 on:** July 07, 2021, 07:54:50 PM »

When I read that Brad was exposing his to sun I decided to put one plant that was just budding (An Hai) in sun to see if the warmth would stimulate growth. It’s been the most vigorous, but the leaves were exposed to sun from the beginning. So far two plants seem to take the sun fine, the other two seem more sensitive so give them dappled morning sun. However, full sun in my garden is not that intense compared to even a mile inland. I live a couple blocks from the ocean and we’ve had a lot of marine layer so far this year.

Brad, are you still exposing your plants to sunlight?

Janet

spaugh · « **Reply #537 on:** July 07, 2021, 08:23:22 PM »

I have been giving them some morning sun lately. The problem is it's gotten too hot and dry and windy now to give them mid day sun.

sc4001992 · « **Reply #538 on:** July 08, 2021, 12:04:51 AM »

I have been doing the same as Janet, just keep the pot in partial shade and water when it gets dry, nothing special.

Kaz your trees are taking off. Nice job!

sc4001992 · « **Reply #540 on:** July 08, 2021, 01:02:22 AM »

Thanks Ken, yes, glad I got a few to grow, now I can taste some fruits in 2-4 yrs.

beicadad · « **Reply #541 on:** July 08, 2021, 02:06:57 AM »

Kaz, still need to figure out male plants. I suggest you keep at least one rootstock sucker for each tree (if suckers grow) as they have 50% chance of being a male.

sc4001992 · « **Reply #542 on:** July 08, 2021, 07:05:23 AM »

Yes, will do. I have not cut any root suckers so both have them growing.

All of my grafts I put on the myrica californica failed. It could be due to the scions not looking that good when I used them for grafting.
When my An Hai tree grows more branches, I may try grafting again in spring with healthy green branches.

roblack · « **Reply #543 on:** July 08, 2021, 10:08:01 AM »

Just took pic this morning. Seems to be growing a little already, loving the sun.

Going to hit it lightly with iron chelate and Foliage Pro 9 3 6.

Seanny · « **Reply #544 on:** July 09, 2021, 01:13:07 AM »

Mine has been in the sun.
The white tiles burn the lower leaves.
I now have a tall tree next to it to block the afternoon sun.

spaugh · « **Reply #545 on:** July 09, 2021, 01:23:56 AM »

I left mine out under a 70% shade all day today it was over 90F and around 30%RH and windy. Seems fine. I may go ahead and plant it a d put a shade over it. It will either take off or die.

simon_grow · « **Reply #546 on:** July 09, 2021, 01:06:11 PM »

Great job Kaz, your trees look like they’re doing great now!

Rob, your s are looking great as well.

Brad, I’m with you. I’m considering just planting one of my trees into the ground very soon and I’ll experiment with the other one. I just need to erect a small shade shelter.

My Black Peak is not looking good at all, I have it in intensive care but it probably won’t make it. If it dies, I’ll only have Biqi and An Hai.

Hey Nate,
Have you tried grafting your male plant onto your seedlings? If you have a grafted male, I’m definitely interested! Thanks for the info, I’ll subscribe to your email list now.

Simon

roblack · « **Reply #548 on:** July 09, 2021, 01:56:17 PM »

Thanks Brad! Yangmei 2 has landed, and has been reunited. You did a phenomenal job of taking care of these rarities; just hope I can continue with similar success.

Good luck with Black Peak Simon! What do you think went afoul?

sc4001992 · « **Reply #549 on:** July 09, 2021, 03:05:30 PM »

roblack, looks like your trees are doing great, so many leaves and branches growing out. You, Brad and Simon have the healthiest looking trees. My trees were not showing any new growth until a few weeks ago so I didn't want to take any photos to show until it finally started to bud/leaf out. Once the leaves grows it seems to take off pretty quickly.

Thanks to Ken for allowing us to try growing these guys. I'm glad he had some extras for me.
