https://collections.nmnh.si.edu/media/?irn=15403683Thank you for the replies and pictures I haven't seen before. I think the Talisia Cerasina is the closest match out of those fruits and it is apparently a very variable species, but maybe sylvatica is variable too. I think the growth habit and flowers are still more like sylvatica even though cerasina is somewhat similar. All of my sylvatica trees are unbranching, growing straight up with only leaves at the top. Inflorescence also shoots straight up from the top.
should be this one but i can't find pics of the fresh fruit online.
tell you what dry some leaves and fruit so if it all looks like this then you got it.
I was there recently, fairly certain they still have several left, but not like before. They also removed the Langsat tree and one of the mangosteen trees =(
They removed the langsat tree and and a mangosteen from the green house!? Do you know why?
The greenhouse is part of the Science Village / Conservatory. It's known as the Whitman Tropical Fruit Pavilion. The name was recently changed to the Bill & Angela Whitman Fruit Pavilion. - https://www.fairchildgarden.org/Science-Conservation-/Plant-Collections/Exhibits/Whitman-Tropical-Fruit-PavilionHas anyone been successful in fruiting durian in Florida? I have seen a few decent size trees at Fairchild tropical gardens, but never seen any fruit. I don't know of any other durian trees here in Florida.
I haven't heard of anyone fruiting it in Florida. I think those durian trees at Fairchild may have all been cut down recently. Anyone can confirm?
The Durian trees remain. The Lansium will be replanted once the marcotts we prepared from Bill Whitman's original 'Conception' are ready for planting. I will personally be helping with this planting alongside other RFCI Miami members.
The Rare Fruit Council Int'l. (RFCI), Miami will be more actively involved volunteering in the "Whitman Pavilion", at the request of Angela Whitman who aside from being a benefactor sits on the board of directors of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
