Macapuno coconut fruiting in Boca
« on: October 16, 2015, 11:06:29 AM »
I was gone most of the summer and was surprised to see my favorite food squirrels left some developing nuts on the tree.








As you can see the Macupuno is a massive tree next to the Arod Pandan coconut and they are a decade and three years old!





The Pandan coconut were strip of any flowering to insure no hybrid!  Hopefully the embryo will be send to a lab in NY for embryo rescue!  Luckily the nuts have not gotten large enough to be blown to my hated neighboor and destroy all of his roof.  Hopefully the ancient turd have a heart attack soon so this old fart can have some peace! The turd claimed ants from my macupuno were invading his home!  My other two neighboors that border this ancient turds to the right flank and back told me they dump herbicide on his noxious tree while this old fart and the ancient turds were gone during the summer!

I met a fella in New York who is the CSO of a fortune 100 company and he has a private greenhouse rivaling DARPA; so I will entrust him with embryo rescue and tissue culture this cold resistant and some what spiral white flies resistant too for future superfans.  This Macupuno leaves are bigger than my Boca Giant Dwarf with average leaf 25 feet span; explain why the grumby alzhiemer turd next door having a fit the tree blocking out his nude bathing in the back yard, what a coprolite💩 bastard!  I was hoping the massive leave would drop on the the fossilite turd! Oops sorry about derailing the topic, my senior ranting moment.  If success a massive macupuno coconut with better than 75% yield could appear on the US mainland and destroy neighboors' roof you dont like for all seasons and occasions! 🙏🏾😄🌴

Looking good sorry to hear about your whining neighbor. I hate people who find it out of their way to try to ruin other peoples day. That Macupuno coconut sounds tasty, its meat must be really nice.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Coconut Jack is LEGEND.
Congratulations!!!
This is a first time fruit set ever in USA for macapuno?

so glad some of those richy rich honkeys are into edible landscapes and horticulture in general.  We all need a few millionaire sponsors.

Simon

Stephen and Simon, fresh Macupuno is like Mana from Heaven! Ok I am not Jewish so I dont know what mana taste like, is but figuratively it sound good.  Thankfully you dont have to wander the desert for forty years to get it!  It is an iconic native of the Philippine and had mysteriously appear in the Mekong Delta as SAP coconut plantation crop and on isolate island plantation in Malaysia and Thailand.  Think of it as a thick coconut without water that is soft like a firm rollinia with an intense coconut attribute.  If you ever had fresh young green coconut it is a let down after you taste Macupuno.  Its a coconut in its own class,  where ever its grown, it command ten time the price of regular coconut.

A mutation from the Lacatan Coconut idigious to the Philippine.  The demand for it is greater than local production can supply so you have a better chance of tasting the Lochness monster than a Macupuno here in the US main land.  Although the stuff they sell as preserve macupuno at philipine groceries are often the counterfeit coconut jelly made from an unatural process.  Macupuno is known as the coconut ice cream fruit, I just add a little cane sugar, chill and serve; yhe best coconut ice crean on Planet Earth.  Like Cuban cigar it was ban from importation of live material during the coconut yellowing dieoff. So any surviving pre date this period became a bootlegg item on blackmarket.

Many had gone before and many specimen were lost to boredom and death of the ancient palm collector,   It tKe 7-14 years to set fruit; I have learn now the mistake I had made, next time no pronlem to get it to fruit i. Six to seven years!

I am almost there with a malaysian yellow dwarf coconut I been breedin in Parkland for cocina soil, the green drinking nut taste like drinking honey and have smell of honey clover. It will be name Honey Bear Coconut it was devrive from the siri lanka king coconut but more lethal yellow resistant. I have five mature nut in germination, fruit in three years and a feet off the ground, cull 20 coconut tree to discover this beauty in the grove! How is your coconut selection coming along?

Just getting started with the coco plantings
Here is that variegated dwarf coco...I mentioned to you awhile ago.  The new growth seems to have less stripe. I hope it stays :)
You are light years ahead with the flavor types.
Can you make it Macapuno dwarf please..I'll preorder those tissue cultures.

Never heard of Macapuno coconut, but as I read about it, I'm very impressed.

Can anyone explain me scientifically what are they doing with this embryo culture process? Seems like they submerge some flesh in liquid, then insert seed of some sort??? What a heck! The part is from 0:45 to 1:00

Edit: btw Jack,  with my Tagalog skills nowhere to be seen, I'm pretty sure he said embryo culture plants takes only 3.5 years to fruit. Your 14 years sounds like pure torture :D

Wow these guys are swelling up nicely. They got nice tits on them if you ask me!  Sorry for the POlitical correctness crowd it is call nipples.  The tree is flowering like crazy now thank to redneck fertilizer.  I am tempted to try it as a green coconut but I will wait when it turn brown in five months to taste.  I am going to used my fishfinder ball to see if the sonar penetrate the husk and tell me which nut will develop normally and which will be Macupuno early stage of its development so no guessing game! 

My Pinoy Brother in law and his posse are encampments aready, had no Ideas it was that sacrilegious to Phillippino; their national fruit!  Now I understand why tropicaliste was sticking to my ass so tight on this one.  Cuban is crazy for their chirimoya (custard apple an soursop san fibre), Vietnamese the Chewy Sugar Apple , Fillipino their macupuno, Morrocan their mandirin, Hatian their beaucoup fibre Mango and etc.

Durianlover I am not going to explain the process other than we take the embryo out and put in a medium that has the enzyme for the embryo to start germinate and grow.  You see the original OEM macupuno (nut genetic lack the ability to digest and use its embryonic nutritional to grow normally so its program to fill up the nut with ammino acids Body builder would love to eat.  That is the simplest I Am going to get in this scope. 

Choctaw is my Native tongue not tagalog.  Perhaps that Pinoy Tropicaliste can enlightened us by translating the paper you spoke off Rytis so the Rest of us can get a better understanding of methodology and practice develop in the Phillipine over the last several decades.  If Tropicaliste does this translation and sold out the only one good thing the Phillipine is only known for, I will be happy to share some plunder with this trader of nuts.

Now since I have the original True Macupuno Mutation tree which only produce 20/25 percent macupuno nuts and the rest normal sprouting; what I will do is rescue the first generation and put it out on the 2,500 acres in West Palm Beach to grow out. The center of the property ensure no other wind pollinated coconut can reach this cold strains and spiral white flies resistance and it is also Lethal yellows resistant why because the ten Panamanian tall planted in my yard by the Developers surcum to the disease which are carried by palm hopper living in your well manicured lawn you see prevalent in Florida were this OEM tree is kicking out fruit and right without any systematic used; au naturale.  I have noticed that coconut tree mix cropping with grass increase spiral whiteflies exponentially by the functionality of mowing it into lovely golf courses if you dont treated with systemic.  After these tissue culture trees bare grown out, we than rescued from the first generation and selective of trees that yield the greatest number of mutant nuts over regular normal nut. Of couse we will prime out the low bearing producing tree with the greatest nut yields so our friend Micah wont fall of his three foot step ladder and break his asses, I meant hips and sue me😅!  🌴🌴

Moreover the current drinking coconut grown with lots of undergrowth debris I have notice the tree doesnot have spiraling flies investation as another Honey Bear grown next to the HOA green belt claim.  I had to hand kill the bastard, so I been secretly planning low bushes slowly squating on the HOA land to get rid of the current mowed lawns flanking my arod  coconut.

So to sum it up Durianlover, each sucessful generation and algorithms will slowly mimic those stochastic walks done in the Phillipine; so yes we will eventually get an early bearing dwarfs coconut suitable for the American subtropic.  I will make a killing selling Luxery Mansion with dwarf macupuno yielding hopefully 100% to retire Pinoy in the US.  All ambition start with a dream and neglect of other reality but your own. 

I dont pretend to to be the arbitator of all knowledge, I can only hope my randomly walk towards that goal will be achieve with the knowledge of other who has come before me.  So any trade secrets would be of greater help so I can achieved it in my lifetime.  Yes 14 years is ahell of a short time to develop this coconut , now the quick but trickiest part is to get the rescue to work so I have ask a new friend to assist my lack of skill in the matter.

Rumour is there are islands with self replicating macupuno off Thailand or Malaysia, I am a very good rescue certified diver, Perhaps Rytis you And I can frog in under the cover of darkness?🚤

My Sensei
You'd be surprised how many coconut lovers break their asses/hips by slipping off the step/ladder...I'm serious!...you seem to know more about our coconut story in Hawaii than humanly possible, you must have heard from the coconut wireless?...maybe it's because you've been dialed into it for decades...you can coco tap other lines? Cocospies? Cocospiracy?    WHew... lucky da buggah neva sue. His hip is getting better ...every coconut that he helps plant the Mana (spiritual power) comes back to him.  It seems the potted plants send out bad vibes..if neglected.

But this young chipawa...Ke Akua Take Care...nature spirits got my back...they make solid potagee powa.

Legendary Works You Do
Well I'm still waiting for dwarf macapuno. I can wait 15 yrs if anything my son will carry on with Haloa
..we have plenty pinoi o hea Wea I stay...in school we learn all the good words from friends.
monong dabong set otto mot! I wonder why they Neva bring macapuno ober hea. Isus! Ottot ottot

I volunteer to be your chappy in travel.  Take me with you..... :P

Been on RV and Campaigning for A political candidate and came home to find squirrelnado had done immeasurable damage to my tree.  I had chainsaw in December 2015 most of my annonas to four feet stump to Sherman scorched earth policy  on the squirrels and they repay this Choctaw Indian with kindness by biting off all the little developing coconuts.





I was hoping at least 80 coconuts but now I have to declare war on my Native Furry Brorthers; the Tree Rat Tribe.

I have also discovered that immature coconut split suicide due to uneaven precipitation I think , since being gone for the better of six months on a hurricane political season retirement junket, the psychological lost crop of 2015/2016 left me with discouragement for tasting the plant world version waigu kobe beef or bluefin toro.

It survived 2010 freeze when some of my jackfruit and soursop froze to death to the ground.  Macupuno can only thrive in hot humid environment and I stress 7 months minumium of hot humid and night temp above 75 for tree to stand the vigor of our winter in my sub tropical environment where hell does free over occasionally a decade interval.

Arizona is no coconut palm paradise.  Best grown in green house, I fertilizer all my coconut with bag of solar salt (sea salts) and they thrive with great resistance to white spiraling flies and lethal yellow.  Of course abstain from growing near a goft course with it fine manicured lawn will invite the grass hopper that I beleive is the vector for lethal yellowing and other ills.  If you are next to a hot spring with shooting Geiser, by all mean you can try growing a cheap ass coconut from Home Depot before you migrate to the rarity Macupuno!

Thanks for the info! We do grow lots of things here that people generally don't think would survive here. With the right microclimate, I think it can be done. Maybe right next to a pond or something with some filtered shade during our hot summer. By July-sept, our monsoon season rolls in and brings in humidity for it. The only other problem I see is that our native soil here is hard pan clay, something a coconut would probably not like. Heavily amending a huge wide area with sand is probably a key for it to survive long term. What attracted me to this is its cold tolerance. If grown from seed here, it can probably slowly adapt to our more arid climate. Oh and I didn't know that salt is used to fertilize coconuts! :o this whole time I thought salt was bad for every plant. Very interesting, thanks again!

Just chiming with what raimeiken has said, there might be some adaptability with this coconut in the desert - especially my sandy AND salty soil
out here in Palm Springs, CA, seeing as we were once an ocean here.  I've got all the heat elements of which your refer in the spring summer and fall
and I'm wondering if I was to plant it next to my pond what added benefit that humidity would give it........I tried growing a cheap ass Home Depot coconut
once and it died of the cold over winter but I did not plant it in this better spot near my pond. This Macupuno you've developed would have less of that issue....
anyway interesting to ponder.....

And by the way, Coconut, I think it is a tremendous thing you are doing and many people will thank you for it some day!!!!!

Hello Jack! Nice to see you back since......forever?? :)
Earlier this year I had a chance to taste Macapuno in Philippines, and it's the fruit worthy of all the hype. (
http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=18934.msg235894#msg235894 ).  Sometime in near future I'd like to start propagating it on "my" island. Have not had chance to learn learn all the aspects of embryo culture propagation. But, if you'll set up a lab for your babies, I'd like to come begging, eager to learn the art from Mr. Sensei himself.  :)

But, if you'll set up a lab for your babies, I'd like to come begging, eager to learn the art from Mr. Sensei himself.  :)

Thankyou, yes nice to be back and spice things up here at TFF, Like Donald Trump said "....its kind of boring here'd..."
I have the No Latex seeds for you if you wanted them, were the Indians able to graft the special Parkland Snob no latex scions I gave you last year, my recent post on it has the comparison of the two skin types ( shark skin and ray skin no latex Boca Snob Jack lines. So you buying an Island, congratulation?  Yeah the wife thinking about buying one down in Panana and setup offshore banking on the island so Vladimir Putin and Cronies, Bill & Hillary Clinton, the entire Communist China Party can stash their ill gotten gain at my Panamian Paradise Island Bank PPIB.🤑 I hear Kickstart!😝

Sorry to hear about HOA troubles, I made sure no HOA when I got the house. So I can plant to my hearts content with all the weedy fruit plants. Starting to become a repository for your creations  ;D. Hoping they become fruitful in the near future so I can start helping you with selection and sharing.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
