Hi Simon,

Interesting you had no issues with Pineapple Pleasure at your house. At my location it is a poor performer but it could have been a rootstock issuue as well as the bark was pealing and it appeared to have disease issues.

My Pina Colada mango tree inside my greenhouse is doing very well and I finally did get my Coconut cream to fruit. Hopefully next year I will get more.

Good Luck

John can you post  the picture of you pina colada tree inside your greenhouse?

Was unable to make the drive to WPB, so had the Tong Dam shipped. Very pleased with the tree I received -- thank you, Alex and Becky!

Very top ripen eating Thai variety. 

I'm hoping to modify the date into November, my guavas are progressing faster than expected and looks like early - mid November will be peak.

Anyone else have guavas lined up for then?

What variety is this guava?

I use 2x4 redwood

My only garlic plant flowered and turn to black seeds.  What you guys think of growing them from seeds?

Go for it. Garlic greens can be eaten lile chives, so you will get something to eat out of it for sure.

Thank you

Does anyone know what variety of this mango?  Every single mango on the tree has a little bump sticking out at the bottom

I'm surprised noone mentioned all the hot seedless guava variety on the market. I grow a few of them - Thai ruby seedless guava, Thai seedless, Taiwanese ruby seedless, Taiwanese seedless

Greenpasteur,  can you post a picture of the leaves of the rounded guava fruit in picture#2?  How big is the leaf?  Thanks

Here are two variety on one tree I grafted. The round Taiwanese ruby seedless guava leaves is on the right


It has a very big leaves. Bigger than Taiwanese white seedless

Thank you.  Mine is about a year old growing from seed.  The leaves are very big, wavy, and purplerish in color.  Very nice foliage.  The fruit I got the seeds from looks similar to yours but almost twice as big.  It contains 4-5 seeds

The last time I saw Brad’s trees, I was surprised at how well they were growing.  I can’t seem to get mine kick started and I live in a similar climate.  I have killed a ton of seedlings and had no luck with air layers.  I’m probably planting them when they’re too small even though I have them under shade cloth.  Or fertilizing them wrong.  Whatever, I’m going to keep trying because I want raw fingers from peeling so many Brewster lychees. 
Lychees have to be one of the most beautiful trees when full of ripe fruit. Nice haul Spaugh!

I think soil media plays a very big role for growing any kind of trees especially fruit trees.  Brad's land is probably has very fertile soil, consists mainly of granite rocks.  Those rocks have a lots of mineral especially Phosporous which promote root growth and fruit settings.

Mango any day...

I am Thai and the Thais enjoy eating this variety green.  Best way to enjoy it is to peel off the skin, cut into wedged shape, and then dip each piece into salt+crush dried chili and little sugar each bite.
You can substitute dried chili with fresh chopped up Thai chili, which is better tasting

Tagging onto this convo, I'm wondering if people have prunus mume scionwood. I'd love to add some varieties onto my kanko bai.

How big are the fruits of your kanko bai?  I am interested in grafting a prunus mume onto my peach tree perhaps to make some Japanese style preserved plum(umeboshi). Thanks

Nate, the shape matches some of the Vista White fruits I have seen from nursery and locally. But I'm not sure why some people who grow this variety say the fruit size is small to medium. My fruits are always on the large size. I'll post photo of the I took yesterday of this tree.

Wow the fruits are very big.  How many seeds inside this loquat variety.?  Does any of the loquat variety contain just a single seed?  Friend of mine told me his tree used to have fruits with only one seed from each fruits for years.  Now they have 2 to 3 seeds
