The Tropical Fruit Forum

It is growing well for me in AZ. 
The thing is, I purchased it before finding out that yellow wampee has the superior flavor.
Anyone have experience tasting pink wampee?  Anything below a good flavor profile means it has to go.  I don't have room in backyard for subpar varieties.

What Dwarf variety of guava produces the best quality fruit.  Have had p. Striatulum fruiting for 3 years and I finding fairly bland.

I'm trying to figure out what eugenia's I need to buy a second.

Well, I've officially run out of room on my property and I am looking at the next phase of gardening and start grafting on existing trees.
I want to first start with my peach.  I purchased it as a 4 in 1 low chill, but 2 grafts died and another is June pride, which is not low chill enough for me.
Looking for mid pride, may pride, August pride and arctic star nectarine.
I've also never grafted before, so hoping to find someone in phoenix metro to help.

Does anyone have bloomsweet fruit for sale?  It's a variety I have considered growing but I think I should try the fruit first.

My male kei apple got enormous this summer and a few years back my female died.  Would love to start producing some fruit but cannot find sexed plants (at least ones I can afford).  Anyone have a plant for sale or know a nursery where I could purchase one?

My Kishu mandarin is not doing well in this heat.  Large branches are dying.  30 days over 110 in AZ.
It's been watered well.  It has never really produced fruit and probably 8 years in ground.
So, when it cools down, I am going to take it out.
Looking for suggestions for a good variety.
What I have now is heirloom AZ variety orange, Rio red grapefruit, blood orange, whatever the Tangerine variety they sell at Lowes and a Cara Cara.
Not doing any kind of lime, as they attract roof rats.
Right now, I am leaning towards a yosemite gold. But, thought I would ask for suggestions.

If you to choose between planting a Rio red grapefruit and a valentine pumelo, just based on  enjoyability of eating the fruit, which would you choose?

Was very excited that I had a ripe fruit on the ground today.  Brought it in and ate that bad boy up.  I think it fits true to the name.  It was 60% sour lemon, 40% sweet (I couldn't detect any mandarin flavor) and it had a lime after taste.
I think it is just a tad too sour for general public, but, it was tantalizingly close.  For all of us fruit nuts, I think it's a pretty good fruit.  Oh, and it was pretty juicy.

If anyone has a sweet variety of changsha fruiting and have some to spare coming up, I'd like to purchase some of your fruit and have it shipped to my house.  It is a favorite citrus variety of mine .

Anyone ever seen a multi grafted pluerry online for sale?

Just making sure that ceonanthus is named CA lilac because of the flower color and not the scent.
I'd love to grow anything that had a lilac fragrance, so I'd buy one in a second if it did.
Are there any tropical or subtropical plants that have flowers with a lilac fragrance?

I think I made a mistake with my mother's citrus tree.  I got a tangerine tree on clearance at Lowe's a few years back.
I cannot remember the variety, but, I think after having the tree for a few years that the flavor will always be sweet tart.
My mom is a boomer that was spoiled rotten bt her greatest generation mother.  Never forced her to try anything unusual.   She is extremely meat and potatoes.
So, even though the tree is very healthy, I think u am going to take it down because my mother always complains that the fruit are too tart.
So, what would be a good suggestion on a mandarin or orange that has a flavor that would appeal to someone that grew up in the 50's/60's, is very sweet and not tart.
