The Tropical Fruit Forum

Talk about how time flies, 12 months since Beicadad started the recent craze on getting trees and ~4 months since Bill revved it up double time. Like knlim000 said, if the current trees don't make it or a compelling new variety , cultivar, or simple desire. Actually,  the siblings are now interested too.

Now I want this 'better' 50/50!

Do you think it would also work in a mocha frappuccino?

You all in San Diego are fortunate the cherry blooms have finished.  My Stella just opened up a couple of days ago up here and today the wind is howling! Storms is coming in, nice to finally get some rain but it would have been better a month ago.

The Royal Crimson I bought this year is too small but just budded out too, the 80'F+ last week probably helped but brrr this weekend.

Black Crystals.

Top picture in clear plastic bag, bottom wrapped in parafilm M.  Top picture is blurry since i didn't want to "untape" the bag from pot.

Still in the peat Kevin potted them in. The past few days of warmer weather must have helped move them along.

Should have bought 3, to test a wrapped and bagged

I was curious too.

Google searches amazon works.

I don't know what this thread started out as and how it went sideways but I concur what roblack said.   

Kaz guided me on how to root mulberry cuttings and deal with loquat scions as a beginner. I look forward to reading the posts on this forum each day to gain more knowledge and maybe  be fortunate enough to catch some super group buys or sellers selling good stuff. I've seen some frustrations that both sellers and buyers have had in the past year or so (Brad and the DF shipping costs still tops the list!)   But hey, for a non-business, how someone's time spent and their conditions for sharing knowledge or for sale is up them, readers or buyer's are lucky this is available. 

It is disappointing to be excluded from a good deal but one solution for scions would be to find another supplier, multiply/grow it into a massive bush, and then sell the stuff unconditionally and at the cheap - becoming the hero for all the newbies and everyone else!

I was out in Morro Bay for lunch today and decided to stop by Morro Creek Ranch to buy some avocados. $1.50 for either Hass or Lamb Hass... haven't bothered to stop there in a while since Righetti or others in Arroyo Grande seems better (CalPoly's was even better).

I just thought of you Mark! Seems like they have the better stuff on site vs mail order!





COVID must be over now cause there were so many tourists at the warf! Friends said business is good again and hopefully the spending continues even though prices have to go up due to increasing costs, food and labor.

Saw some people buy a live dungeness crab for $35!!! ($20/LB). Even cooked rock crab claws were $15/lb.

Brad's got the right idea with his Amazon Avocado forest

I just wish there was a way to buy Cali avocados mail order.  Used to buy from Morro Creek Ranch Avocados many years ago but got a shipment of some really nasty fruit one year and quit. 


Have a nice holiday season........

A while ago i was reading/watching YouTube to learn about jaboticaba grafting came across some videos. . Adam (moderator here) is in several of them videos.

You all who micro graft are like brain surgeons,  difficult enough to not mangle pencil sized scions!

Amateur opinion here.

Friction loss and flow rates are important, influenced by pipe diameter and emitters along the way. Check out the pdf of a drip irrigation class at https://irrigation.tamu.edu/files/2020/11/Drip-Course-2020.pdf and it IS pretty good content.

As Galatians said, larger internal diameter would help.  Usually it is reduced diameter downstream to reduce psi after mains and laterals. Emitters/sprinklers along the way will reduce flow also affecting psi at the end. Gravity to maintain psi going downhill and pumps going uphill for psi. 15 psi at inlet with zero outlet on level is 15 psi at the end but if there's leaks along the way includingthe end, the end is no longer 15psi.

That being said has a downstream (closer to the end) water holding/pressure tank been considered?

Need more water for Fallbrook? The entire state needs more water. Time for the Avocado rain dance or Kickstarter the weather machine!

Here's another potential dollar,  the wife's sibling gives us a couple of avocados and oranges. (Besides the threatening phone call to the inspector )

 

Maybe the intent was to give the seed for rootstock
