Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Variegated Coconut

Has it always had the coconuts produce variegated like that? Wonder if there’s a way to stimulate pups to grow?

as far my friend has told me, from the beginning it's been putting out variegated fruit.

As long as the nut dropped from the tree naturally once dry and had water swooshing inside when shaken it should germinate. Definitely interested by the way. How much would a seed nut go for?

yeah, for sure on harvesting.  but not sure on if the nut itself will lead to a tree producing variegated fruit. Not a 100% guarantee. 

So that's the risk you would take.

As for price, haven't thought about it yet.  Just wanted to gauge interest.

PLUS...shipping will be a  ? since Idk if the nuts I can get are able to be comfortably placed in large flat rate box.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Variegated Coconut

A friend has approached me to sell on their behalf variegated coconut.
It's a dwarf samoan variety (I believe).

The leaves are not variegated, but the fruit are.  I'm not even sure if I can send the coconut fruit as is or need to germinate before sending out. 

PLUS, I can't guarantee if the coconut will be true to seed (or nut in this case). 

Just wanting to put it out there and see if there is any interest in something like this.

I was reading where the offspring of anomaly didn't show the same precociousness. Is that the case, or have  those trees begun showing at least improved fruit production/flowering?

Can Jaca Cacao be realistically grown in a pot and be brought indoors in winter?

How large does the Atherton oak get when it starts producing nuts, and what is its cold tolerance?

Interested in all three, provisionally.

define "monster." i'm curious. i have friends here (in Hawaii of course) fruiting cacao in 3 gallons. 

@bloom and sprout-the atherton is a friend's tree. i believe it's larger

There was someone in Santa Barbara that posted a pic of a monster sized Cacao in a pot that they brought in for winter.  It's doable but you would need the room for it.  Atherton Oak don't know much but might be similar requirements to Macadamia since they are somewhat related.

Your orange skin lemon drop mangosteen, do you know which species it is?  I've heard of at least 4 Garcinia species referred to with the common name of lemondrop mangosteen.  (Madruno, intermedia, brasiliensis, gardneriana)
intermedia.

Langsat. Paid a pretty for it online (Miami fruit) but it tasted like grapefruit. Hard pass.

i hear they're notorious for selling garbage at exorbitant prices.  when you get good langsat, it's the best.  just don't bite the seed.  super bitter.

Fruta do Mistério (Fruit of Mystery) was very disappointing for me.  Almost no flesh and not much flavor.  At least it fruited really early so I didn't waste much time.

Pitangatuba was a disapointment, "fibrous bag around a seed" is how I'd describe it.  The flavor was nice enough but it just wasn't in a form that I wanted to eat.   Rarely ripened properly either, fruits usually fell off the tree while half green and it didn't set much fruit anyway even with multiple trees.  Possible it gets better over time but I ditched mine to make space a year or two after first fruit

i made mine into a jam. that was actually qutie good.

added prices as well as added lemon drop mangosteen.

My non-anomaly already makes more fruit than I can eat :)

i agree. nothign like the original. but then again, the fact it has those genes, make me curious as to what any of its progeny can end up doing.  granted. mine is in a 5 gallon pot and i haven't uppotted in ages.  It is due for some TLC.

11
probably interested in some Atherton oaks, I keep killing them somehow. What's the secret to getting these past a few inches?

not sure since your in NJ.  But I have seen some seedlings just die back. Others, just grow slow for me.  Humidity issue?  I wonder if the roots are sensitive. I'm trying to think if I ever sold any seedlings and got feedback.

I have a sweet pitangatuba. Only tried 1 fruit off the tree. It was sweet and sour and complex, but a little overripe. It is flowering now, as is Topaz. About time to get a brix meter.

I know people don’t believe but they exist!!!

Yup.  My Topaz Pitangatuba is flowering despite the grief it gets from me.  I have high hopes for this one since Kevin J.  was hyping this one up pretty hard.  I wondering if it's a prolific flowering/fruiting like the ones we find in Hawaii. i get flowers from March-November for the most part.

Here's a few fruit photos from last year:







They all look to be setting fruit... fingers crossed!

Kevin
