The Tropical Fruit Forum

I have the Persian Mulberry  direct from Alex Silber of Papaya tree nursery.
The fruits are tart/sour/sweet. They are very different from other mulberrys. I was suppose to be a dwarf, but it was nothing like a dwarf growing over 20 feet and 15 feet wide. I decided to take down the tree from my main home for that reason and because the birds would leave me absolutely none.
I did however air layer two and have them planted in the Antelope Valley where they don't grow as vigorous and the fruit are a bit smaller.

Thank you Kevin for these great looking scions and I got them within a few days of ordering.

The real Mark Lee is no scammer. I've gotten bud wood from him in two occasions.

The best scion exchange compared to the others I attend. I still attend others to support them, plus I might find something that I don't already have.
I think I have over 25 different scions that I will share this even. So you all there.

I wouldn't rule out dropping a big bag of ice on the base of the tree during cold nights. Especially if it's only 1-3 trees.

This is a weed in my yard. It grows everywhere and takes over the canopy of smaller trees. In the Summer I have a hard time keeping up with it.

I've had a dropped fruit from that tree. The taste: sweet yam, maple syrup, peacans, with the texture more on the egg yolk side (doent taste like egg.)

I’m in Hollywood area and I’m really hoping to find a public fruiting Inga to get a pod so I can eat and grow the seeds. I know of one in San Diego but I don’t plan on going that far. If any generous people would gift me a pod I would really appreciate that or I’d be willing to buy them too. I’d love to see a mature fruiting tree though

The Fruit and Spice has a Smathers that I thought was pretty fkn good. And it was a nice size too.

Good stuff indeed.


Also looking forward to the Spice Zee Nectaplum!

There are better varieties. Spice zee is a beautiful tree with beautiful looking fruit. But the taste is not show-off with

I grafted coyo on a avocado rootstock earlier this year. And I recently got chucte seeds from Oscar. I am hoping they too sprout so I can regraft that coyo onto its own seedling for safe keeping.
