Tropical Fruit Discussion / Worm compost tea
« on: August 23, 2012, 12:38:31 AM »
I had a question. I've read that unsulfured molasses is used to feed the growing bacteria. Can I use maple syrup instead? I thought honey might work, except I think honey is antibacterial, which is detrimental.

You can also dry the leaves for tea.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / 1 gal fruiting dragonfruit
« on: August 12, 2012, 11:15:31 PM »
Here's my 1 gal Phoenix Red Dragonfruit forming a flowerbud. I'm not a horticulturalist, but I think it depends on the maturity of the source of the cutting.

I get almost 100% germination on seeds.
My tree is still a little small, but I'll offer cutting eventually.
Uni Mart in Artesia sells big moringa(malunggay) cuttings for $15.

Small watercolor brush from a watercoloring set that I got for less than a dollar at Target
Black salsa cup from El Pollo Loco
Scissors to cut half of the petal from the flower to demarcate it as pollinated
Cheap!

I reused some soil and planted some white sage seeds. Doesn't look like white sage. I think it could be coccinia sessilifolia. Any thoughts?

Here's a pic of the segment. I can take a cutting from it and ship it small flat rate priority box to you. I also have other dragonfruit varieties that I can try to fit into the same box if you're interested-
Phoenix Red
American Beauty
Physical Graffiti
Purple Haze
Thai Red
Giant Vietnamese
Too small to take cuttings-
Arizone Purple
Yellow
I'm not really interested in acquiring more varieties of dragonfruit, unless there's an uber-variety that I should have. Rooted Black Mission & Violette de Bourdeaux fig cuttings would be great!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pine Needle mulch?
« on: July 13, 2012, 05:18:31 PM »
I keep on the lookout for when my neighbors leave their Christmas trees by the curb for p/u. At night, I drag them back home & later I strip all the branches to be used for mulch. It makes the soil more acidic & adds nutrients. One concern I have is if pesticides are used on the trees by commercial growers.

A segment of my Voodoo Child dragonfruit broke off due to the weight. I can cut it into 3 approximately 1 foot cuttings, if anyone is interested. If you have something to trade, great, but if not, then that's cool.

Thanks, mangomandan. I don't think I'll be going to Florida anytime soon. I wish. I would love to visit the Fairchild and see all the delicious fruits that don't grow well here, w/o a greenhouse

They were from the San Diego Scion Exchange. They leafed out pretty good w/ what looked like developing fruits, but they dried up.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Papaya update - Victory, almost
« on: May 20, 2012, 01:29:16 PM »
After almost 3 years, I finally have flowers on my Sunrise papayas. I've lost many due to cold/rain, but I have 3 that are thriving. They have no protection. They are near the wall on the east/south facing side of the house. Perhaps they have a cold-resistance gene.

I like it when they have the old dragonfruit on clearance. Doesn't compare to fresh from the garden, but mine aren't producing a lot at the moment.

Thanks for sharing your experience w/ Top Tropicals, Bestday. I've been meaning to order from them, but have been hesitant because of other's bad experiences dealing with them.
BTW, I live in Cerritos, so I'm very close to you.
