The Tropical Fruit Forum

My corg is in bloom and my savanna cherry has buds all over.  My savanna cherry bloomed on it's own before but not sure what my corg needs to produce fruit.

Looking for FL netted paw paw seeds or any other FL variety that are edible.

I really love the flavor of my bream tarocco which makes it even worse that I get a crop every other year.  I have limited, I thought I would take it out for one that produces yearly? 

How good or band is the samboken?

I bought a Mexican cream from him and it turned out to be correct.  I bought mine maybe 4-5 years ago so I think he maybe got a bit more legit.  But, people that got him in your time frame seemed to be really screwed over.  At least it tastes good and looks attractive.

These 2 varieties recently went up for sale kind of near me.  I have never tried them.  I read up on them and they sound interesting.  I have never grown a pumelo because I do not want something insipid. 
Let me know if these varieties are delicious or use my space on something else.

I had 2 but one croaked over the summer.  Looking for terminating partner

I think that would be great for us as a group, but not best for you for fruit production.
If you did do it, it would certainly help answer alot of questions.  And, some of the hybrids so far like pyriformus×lutescens have been better than the parents.  Definitely would be educational.

I never tried the black variety.  But everytime I tried the regular variety, it died at 100 degrees.
I don't think there are a lot of chilean plants that would do well in phoenix.

Acerola needs to turn black to get best flavor.  To my pallet, it tastes like a slightly sweet raspberry when black.

I know a lot of people on here had issues with guave king and not getting the correct.
I purchased mine probably about years ago as mexican.  This was the first year it held fruit(3).
Since I never had a Mexican cream guava before, I'll have to describe the first fruit.
I still have 2 on the tree.  This first one was sunburnt on half, but it dud not ruin the fruit.  The fruit was yellow and it fell off with a light touch.
Cutting it in half, the flesh was white but in the center of the fruit, there was a pink blush.  It has seeds, but at a very acceptable level.  The fruit was nicely fragrant.  The taste was guava/strawberryish.   It was nicely sweet and the flavor was not very complex.
I don't know how to put pictures on here.  I'll take pictures of the remaining fruit when they ripen and maybe link here to my Facebook page.
So, I am not sure if I got Mexican cream or not, but, it was a pretty decent fruit for 1st years crop.

I have something similar, autumn damask.  If you lived near me you could have it since out here it never blooms and gets huge.
I think antique rose emporium sells isphahan.

Hi.  Miguel in Portugal often has seeds for sale.  Seems like some of them are improved varieties.
However, twice in my life I've had the Fed's visit me due to international purchases.  (When I lived in Virginia 15 years ago, had purchased seeds on eBay from a Chilean seller.  Apparently not all of his seeds were legit and was throwing in some noxious weeds.  Luckily, nothing i bought germinated but that didn't stop the feds from coming to my house twice.  Once to do a general check, 2nd time to do a thorough check of my yard.  And then about 10 years ago, I purchased from Thailand 2 supposed improved varieties of wax apples.  Even though they came with sanitary certificate, the feds said there were bugs coming over from Thailand.  Some, I had to double bag the small tree and put it on my front porch for them to collect and incinerate.  I told the man that I enjoyed collecting rare fruit trees and he advised me to only purchase from within USA territory.)
So, I kind of feel like I am on a list somewhere in DC and I don't want to oress my luck.
That's why I am asking if anyone regularly gets seeds from Portugal, can we work out where we split the cost and split the seeds but they get sent to you.  I live in Scottsdale, AZ if anyone close to me buts them, if not I guess can be anywhere in USA.
