I have an Isan Indigo I planted 6-1-21 that is holding 3 fruit.
It is under 4'
This is the second time an Isan Indigo has fruited for me at 2 years old.
The first time the fruit were small and didn't have great taste. The following year the
fruit was incredible. I also planted a big eye sugar apple this year that is less than one
year old that has some flowers. it should have fruit next year if we don't have any
freezing weather. I also am working with a new Thai type called L-83 that is growing fast
and may fruit next year.
Thanks for the knowledge achetadomestica, I won't set my hopes high for big tasty fruit til next year or the following. I've never tried the fruit so it will still be fun. My son calls it a seed apple after watching a video lol! Also have to up pot this one for sure so it can get larger fruit.

This was a 1/20 tree I had ordered the seeds in August of 2021. It did flower at about a foot tall last year so I kept it separated and a few others. 1 other is flowering but not setting fruit. I've not tried hand pollination either, shocked it's holding 2 fruit. Just more waiting and observing until judgment day comes.

Thats exciting man! Hope you get to enjoy the fruit asap! I was given a small ross seedling and it's doing well in the ground starting to branch out. How are the inga pods developing so far?

Try running your hands through it to pollinate them. My tree has lots of flowers too but only sets maybe 6 at a time. Fun little fruit. Has a delicious tropical flavor especially the skin. I had one before a mango this morning and it made the mango taste like a giant miracle fruit, then I tasted the flavor for about an hour after.

Wow , congrats! They look bigger than what I thought. What size did your tree start bearing fruit? Mine still have a ways away. Got 2 pushing 6' and lots of seedlings.

Well it feeds the soil microbes so....I would hate to see someone relocate the gulf fritilaries on their passionfruit vines. World's most expensive passionfruit.  Those things make it impossible to even exterminate them. I gave up on passionfruit since those things destroy every plant and stunt them severely. The only reason I exterminate 1 is so it doesn't become a problem and then I have a bunch of stunted plants. Next time I see one I'll relocate to something g not important though, Good idea.

Loin cloth at night sounds like a good idea. I just need some spotlights or a bright headlamp and make sure I'm stocked up on coconut waters.

Yea, it was brutal out there. I sweat through 6 shirts and 4 jackets in 4.5hrs welding in the shop today. Long pants were wet to the ankles. I did go pick up 2 cases of coconut water to help fight the cramps. I think I'm going to implement an earlier start to my days so I'm done by noon.

My tree does the same thing, it was a 15gal about a year ago but planted in the ground. I do thin the fruit as well. It's really a nice tree though.

I use 2 sticks like chopstick to remove them and then stab them into the dirt to exterminate them. Mustaches like eating kwai muk  ;D

Thanks! Yea the publix yellows are sweet like honey. I was wondering about how similar it would turn out. Guess I will have to wait to find out how it turns out. 30 varieties seems really exciting!! I'm at about 10 now and will be rooting a bunch more varieties this summer since they are such a great growing crop. Thanks again!

« on: June 25, 2023, 10:58:03 PM »
Looks like it's just a branch with lots of sides and possibly twisting instead of the typical 3 sides. I was excited to see this on the one here that was doing that but the hurricane last year damaged it and growth stopped on that branch. Update when it gets larger. I'd enjoy seeing it larger.

So we started growing this from a fruit bought at publix about 1.5 years ago. Was pampered in the greenhouse for the several months through winter and became a bit much without a trellis. This one I just let go wild and climb the tree. Definitely the most vigorous of all the seedlings I planted.

My friend gave me a huge bag from his farm and the Tara lay really had wonderful flavor. The Kathy also was great. Im not sure about the diseaae resistance, precocity, or growth of the actual tree though. But as far as flavor, my wife and kids all agreed that it tasted the best out of all.

« on: June 24, 2023, 06:36:38 PM »
Seems like it was labeled properly from the nursery since its flowering so much later than any other tree I have. I'm doubtful it will hold fruit since it's only pushing 5'. Still an exciting sight to see.

I really love lemon merangue for its awesome flavor. Also Kathy has great flavor. It's hard question though cause I'll enjoy a 5/10 mango and be happy though.

Well, I am waiting eagerly to see if mine is self-fertile. I have three different dragonfruit on the same pot, but only got one flower right now, which I hand-pollinated. Not named varieties, or at least not labeled - collected from fruit eaten in Indonesia, and of all places, Vienna Austria. Tasted really good so I saved the seeds and grew them up. They are all red fleshed.

Question - How long until I can tell if my pollinization night before last was successful? The flower has wilted but is still hanging on.

Thanks!
Carolyn
Mine usually just turn yellow and fall off or start swelling and stay green. I sure hope you get to enjoy a or some fruit from your labor. Now my question is, where do I add another row of S8? Just made 5 more potted trellises and giving away 2 to friends that have the itch for tropical fruit. Good luck Caroline!
