The Tropical Fruit Forum

When I visited it in June, the old guy who runs it said that he was getting too old to ship it.

If the orange tag is the same as the picture, then this should be a Taiwanese variety of seedless lychee.

I've bought a 15 gallon wampee from California Tropical Fruit Tree Nursery in Vista.

I'd be interested in all of the varieties.

I'd be interested in the KT3, KT9, KT2, KT6, KT23 and KT26.

If it helps for future varieties, you can try to reconstruct the Chinese word for any romanized chinese name for a variety and look it up on baidu. Who would've known that biqi is also called water chestnut.

I'm in.

I have one that is pushing out right now, but I don't have roots yet.

I'll take the remaining.

The Huntington doesn't need to determine the optimal size for the fruit tree section since it was already planned out. Our donations do not affect the planning of sections at Huntington park. They are not a business, but a non-profit so they don't need to determine the most optimal section sizing. I know huntington has a jackfruit tree, I saw it with fruit when the corpse flower was at the huntington in june.

I'm cool with X because you said that donations would be most socially beneficial. Taking your goal, I clearly explained how donations aren't the most socially beneficial path for the forum.

As someone said before, the citrus forum was made in response to the closing of a different forum. I'm guessing the citrus and temperate sections are for people who want to talk to other people from the site (useful as site members usually share geographic regions) on those subjects because there are different forums for those purposes. I don't very much care for a subtropical section since I think it will just dilute discussion.

Let's say that the original intent of the forum by the owner was to talk about tropical fruit specifically in Florida as I think this forum was created with the intent of Floridians to use. Floridians generally can't grow ultra tropicals (there are a few exceptions) . Plus if the owner truly intended for only discussion on durian, mangosteen, and other very tropical fruits, then we wouldn't have TFF as it is now.

You have to stop confounding market price signals with things that have nothing to do with markets. The reason why economies need prices is to give information to firms on whether to enter a market or not, and produce a good or not. This is basic microeconomics. Companies don't use price signals to determine love, they use it to determine profits.

You can designate donations, but does the Huntington take that in account to build more of the section? They could just use the donations to cover what was going to cost for maintenance and spare up some funds for different parts. (Like the Huntington is really going to ignore the maintenance of one section just because it gets less donations)

Who cares whether mangoes or durian gets the most donations? Again, if durian gets more donation, this doesn't really help anybody since most people can't grow durian. If you're really about trying to help the most people, then you would advocate for the fruits that most of the demographic benefits from. It'd more beneficial for somebody to create a sticky that points newbies in the direction of what they can grow in their area, and to tell them to actually eat the tropical fruit before they try to grow it (How can you know your preference if you've actually never tried the fruit?)
