The Tropical Fruit Forum

Bump.

There are  a few Cecropia trees in the San Francisco Botanical Garden. There were fruits when I visited two years back.

The fruits are still only 4 inches long, not yet anywhere near ripening. I check them every day. 2weeks ago there was another round of flowers, I tried hand pollinating about 5 flowers, but all of them dropped after a week. But the next day another round of flowers opened, and even though I did not pollinate, today I found one fruit may have set! I will know for sure after a week or two.

Thanks, Mike T and Cop.

It looks as if one plant has only female flowers.<br /><br />
While the other plant has only male flowers, in hundreds.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hundreds of flowers opened and were shed yesterday night.
Compared to the male, my female plant has few flowers. May be because my plant is not so healthy. Today I have pollinated 5 flowers. Will know in a few days. It looks as if the flowers are not typical of other Annona flowers, to my inexperienced eye.

Thanks, everyone. Will definitely post updates.

The jabos are about 7 feet tall.

Great! What rooting medium did you use?

Are there any Loquat varieties that do not require chill hours? I am asking this because, I had planted some loquat seedlings some six or seven years ago, and on learning that they need chill hours, neglected them. But suddenly last week, I found fruits on one of the trees. They were almost ripe, but the bats beat me , so that I could get only three fruits. They are small, the size of a kumquat, but sweet with slight sourness.

Thank you, Peter.

Hello Andre, Do you still have seeds. I tried yr Whatsapp no. but not seeing you on Whatsapp. Do you have an email id.?

A terrible loss! I had sent him G.indica and G.morella seeds last year and he had received them in December.

Thank you very much, Peter. What I have is the one in the lower photo. I also have two small G.parvifolia. Can you please post a photo of the plants.
