Tarocco on the left, Amoa on right. Red parts of both have raspberry flavour.

Rare cacti profesional seller and collector from Czech republic said, that the best fruit he ever ate was from cipocereus minesis in Brazil.

Diospyros lotus is compatible with all astrigent D.kaki and with  non-astringent D.kaki -JIRO, but generally speaking D.lotus is incompatible with pcna type kaki. The incompatibility can be overcome by using an astringent type kaki as interstock.

Rodoslav, congratulations on the harvest. How does it taste? At what temperatures did it ripen?

Temperature around 10'C. Tastes like very sweet orange.

I used to have a kabosu plant from a seed that came from a fruit bought in France, but it died while I was on vacation a few years ago.

I still have a sudachi, also grown from seed at the same time, in 2015.



It has never fruited yet but it stays outside all winter here in Antwerp (in a rather sheltered location though). If you're interested I can send you cuttings (tell me how to do it thought because I've never sent live plants through the post) or you can drop by if you're ever close to Antwerp.

That's too bad. Adavo still has some small kabosu plants left, which I might buy.

I already have a sudachi, but I would love to get some budwood 

There was discussion at french https://www.agrumes-passion.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1622&start=60
that
kabosu from Adavo may originated from Riera nursery and can contain tristeza.

Group of 5 years old seedlings, seeds I got from member Pancrazio.

Six, or seven years ago, I bought seeds from you (at least I think, that it was you, seller added some passiflora quadrangularis seeds for free). And now, I got first flowers on my Peluda de Alagoa plants.

25 fresh seeds for 6 eur including shipping.
Ideal for rootstocks.

Current fruit:

Finally ripe fruit of C. grandis x C. paradisi called “Piriforme”. Plant I bought from Tintori nursery years ago.
This pomelo hybrid belongs to the Medici citrus collection that was started by Cosimo I between 1554 and 1568 and reached its height under Cosimo III.
The fruit has thick rind that turns yellow when fully ripe. The thick pith is not edible and the flesh tastes like mix of pomelo and grapefruit, its a bit sour, but edible. Mostly for ornamental purpose.

This year showed me, how tricky the right time to harvest is. Right now, I collected my one and only fruit from my annona in living room and this time I collected it while still partly hard on touch.
And it was a mistake, pulp is not as tender as ussual, slightly sour and the taste is full of that bleach chlorine odour typical for muricata flowers.
But it looks like taste is improving while I let the harvested fruit rest in room for 24 hours.

It used to be rollinia herzogii, I think that no rollinia except deliciosa is worthy to grow for fruit.
