The Tropical Fruit Forum

I have a red hog plum that is very tasty. I also have a purple or gold hog plum
and it is much less desirable. The fruit is larger on the purple tree but the skin is very
bitter. I split the skin and drink the juice and spit out the large seed and discard the skin.

The red has less flesh and is very unique and very good, my large tree has hundreds of
fruit so I can eat a handful at a time and really enjoy them. I plan to remove the purple one and
replace with another red when I get the time. I also have a small yellow one that I am waiting to
evaluate. I hope it is not another gold/purple one?

Do you know the scientific name for the tasty red one you have and where to buy the plant? Thanks!

Raul,

I just rooted mine in a large tree pot and it is fruiting now. I don't think they do that great in the ground in Southern California.

Hi Mark,

Is your mombin still in the pot? I have a June Plum growing nicely in the ground (been through winter), and flowering now. I wonder if Purple Mombin is as cold hardy. Thanks

Thanks, Simon!

Golek is a variety that very popular in my home country, Indonesia. But it was considered a second tier mango over there. It is very sweet, juicy, with a little fiber, very thin seed, and no scent.
Arummanis (means sweet aroma)is the one that considered top tier. It was my favorite childhood fruit.
Arumanis mangoes have a vibrant green skin with large, light-yellow dots. The fruit maintains its green coloring even when ripe and is ready to eat. Arumanis mangoes have an overall elongated and elliptical shape, can weigh up to one pound. Bright yellow to orange color flesh has a strong, sweet aroma and flavor . The flesh is thick and juicy and mostly fiberless.
There is a guy in San Gabriel selling the grafted arummanis, but I cannot tell if it is legit.
The picture on his web looks legit, like the arummanis I know.

thanks everyone

thanks, @Das Bhut

I though Florida mangos were washed out?? Honey Kiss from Florida cleaned the floor against early California mangos!!

I have been looking to buy honey kiss variety forever! where did you buy yours from? Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Anyone know where I can get a 3 gallon or 5 gallon Honey Kiss Mango Plant?
Have been searching online with no result, and local nurseries don't carry it either.
I live in California, Los angeles, will pay for shipping.

Thank you!

Maybe the fruits failed...
Ugni Molinae (red Chilean guava) is relatively easy to buy online.
I just purchased 3 seedlings about 2-3" from Annie Annual, they wrapped it really well, the plants are
super healthy, and their customer service is awesome! Too bad they don't carry the black Chilean guava.
If anybody interested to get the red ones/Ugni Molinae, here is the link:

I got 3 from annie's too about 3 months ago. They are 14" now and growing well.

Do you know how long it takes before they start bear fruit?

I remember a while back some folks were looking for a source for Black Ugni (Ugni myricoides).  I now have a bunch of fruit/seeds -- I'd be happy to share it with anyone who's interested.

Hello,

I know it's been a while since you posted this. But I have been looking around for Black Ugni (I just purchased a small red ugni seedling), and no one has it.
So if you still have some seeds or maybe seedling, I would be happy to purchase it from you.

Thanks!
