That's beautiful, what variety of Mangos are those? Thanks for sharing!

Simon

Hi Simon, it's a local seed grown mango. It's very sweet, but fibrous.

« on: April 19, 2015, 07:45:05 AM »
the flavor is ok at best...though a very unique cactaceae, with hook like thorns that secures the plant while climbing.

The best way to propagate is via cuttings...seeds take a bit until bearing size.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Trade: Pouteria sebertii scions
« on: April 15, 2015, 03:34:47 AM »
Hi,

My rootstocks weren't thick enough, so better than chucking them away...I have 3 pencil sized scions to trade (preferably to someone how has rootstocks to graft).

Very unique Pouteria to have in any collection...do a quick search on the forum and see the tree. 

Thanks.

Hey Stuart,

Never heard of this specie before...looks tasty.

I'm not surprised that this sp is scented, as a lot of Apocynaceaes are scented.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, they are still small apparantly not ready for sale yet but its a wholesale nursery so they letting me have a few cant wait to taste it one day.

Next on my indigenous hit list is Ancylobotrys petersiana and landolphia Kirkii

That's pretty cool...good luck. :)

I reckon you should ask Botanical gardens in KwaZulu Natal, if they have or know where to locate them...that's what i would do.

Glad to hear that folks are enjoying the fruits from Rosa. :)

My grandmother Rosa is actually American, born and raised in Massachusetts.  ;)

Behl, Rosa is not from Spain...it's from Madeira, Portugal.

JF, if only you lived nearby...i have access to year old rootstocks for only $1.50.

Thank you warren! I Guess I'll order that grafting tape already! Yay!!

Osito, try to match the cambium on both (clean cuts) as much as you can and bag the plant with a leaf of two to increase humidity inside. Ask for scions with swollen buds, that haven't pushed yet.

Hey Adão, the jars are going to sell quick!  ;) Jabuticaba jam is da bomb...gonna make this year again.  8)

lol thanks Jackfruitwhsper69!

I think I'm sold out already!

I will definitely make lots of jam this year....otherwise lots of my fruit will get wasted!  it's hard to eat 500 fruit all at once!

Great to hear!  8)

It's a good way to minimize wastage of fruits. :)

Increase organic matter around the plant. Plant another variety for cross-pollination.

I'm not giving up on looking for cuttings for the Giant fruited S Megalanthus. Please let me know if you have any for sale or trade. I did end up acquiring some old seeds of a giant S Megalanthus from Fruit that was given to Leo Manuel but the seeds were really old and I had to use GA and even then, only 1 seed sprouted so far and it will be about 3-4 years before I can verify it is the extremely large variety similar to the one I ate in Hong Kong. Cuttings will save me a lot of time. Thanks in advance!

Simon

The Colombian variety? This var is pretty huge...super sweet too.  I got some fresh seeds.
