Get the Royal Crimson, there is too much of a gap between a royal lee and a minnie royal cherry. Royal crimson fills the gaps in between, as well as being a low chill cherry.

Hello, my vanilla cuttings have already started growing roots, should i plant it into a pot now, or let it grow more

I also recently raised the soil, as it was planted too low

Hello, half my mango seedling’s leaves look burned, crispy and all, why is it happening? Is it because of the Santa Ana winds?

well, since you live near a canyon, I would not reccomend growing such fruits, as they are better suited to the coast or the hilly regions. Longkongs/Langsats seem relatively hardy so far, star apples will suffer damage easily at 40 degrees and below. If I were in your situation I'd either a)move to a better location b)grow them in a greenhouse and c) grow the various delicious stone fruits available. I'd rate the langsat around the same as mahogany trees in terms of hardiness. It does seem to make a good houseplant

It could be from the ungodly santa ana winds we had the other day, my tropicals suffered a bit of burn like that as well, mainly my cherimoya, cacao, coffee, and soursop. It could also be the hard water, you an flush it out with some reverse osmosis water once a month, anyways, Happy Gardening, Matt

I Would't refrigerate them, as they go not viable within days as i have noted, graft them immediatl y

I had only 1 sprout

Beautiful, is that one resistant to PSRV? does it fruit within first year? Could i buy some cuttings next year JF, Thanks, Matt

Perfecto, when do chermoyas start dropping leaves?

they will germinate in transit, I have grown mango seeds that way

Hey Raul, I'll accept that order, how much will the shipping be?

Cuttings would also be nice too
