I have used vigoro for citrus.  They are very bad for the soil.  It harden the soil and turn them to chalk like.

I grafted mine on a few branches of Lee and Lang early this year.  One graft is currently has green fruits. I don't know what will happen, since the rootstocks, Lee and Lang are starting dormancy.

I used to eat this in my childhood.  The fruits are big and crunchy; I mean you can hear the crispy sound when you byte.  They are of mild to medium sweetness.

 If you can stock the pond with fish and raise chicken and duck, that is my dream as well.

Base on the pictures of the fruits and leaves.  It is 100% white sapote.  The fruits is soft, creamy, and sweet.


June plum is a sour fruit.

Just receive an email mentioned CRFG for san diego will be held on 11/11/23.

In years past, were there many vendors?

CRFG sells plants they grow or donated by members.  No vendors.

I'm looking for the non dwarf variety of june plum. Does anyone sell any? Seems like the ones sold in my area are the dwarf variety. Thanks.

You should also look for a big fruits variety.  In the US, everyone is selling to dwarf that has fruits that are smaller than the small chicken eggs.  In Asia, the fruits are the size of duck eggs.

Here are some examples of how I make them with aluminum extrusion. Then there's a picture with 1 year of growth. I don't think I'll ever have to repair them.

I think you should cut off  the bottm of the container to allow the roots to fully spread out to help support the top heavy structure.

I have the plants of unkown variety.  Sorry, no shipping, only local pickup.

You can get rid of the astringent by tenderize the fruits: put them in pastic container.  Add dried chilli and salt if needed.  Gently shake them until the fruits are soft or starting to break.

see my post on my tree:

Damages start a low 30.  Most of subtropical will handle a few hours of  28 degrees.  Some mature ones can handle around 25 degrees.

I had several yellowing ones on both plants, removed them as soon as i was sertain they were to be aborted.
Well, i am not that fussy about fruit size, i would be happy with big fruits, but i woudnt remove some of them as to have a few bigger ones. Its hard enought to grow them here, dont want to be that picky...

My family is spoiled.  They won't eat small fruits, lol.

I thin them when the fruit is at decent size that can be determined if it will be a big fruit or not.  If it is going to be a small fruit, I remove it.

dark fruit. Fruits are big, dark, and sweet (when it is really ripe) with high acidity.    Not much gasoline smell.

Red fruit. It was grafted last year.  Fruits are even bigger, red, and sweet.  Not much gasoline smell.








Is your red fruit a named variety? Where did you find it?  That’s a good looking fruit. Nice size.


Unknown variety. I got it from exchanging java plum plant for cutting.  The ripe ones are just sweet , a lot of flesh, and jucy.  It is the size of a cherry.

Plantinyum, why growing this variety?  For me, I thought because it is sweet.   I abondoned it because the fruits were too small, not that much sweeter than American Beauty, and the stemps are too thorny.

For me, veneer usually has part of the scion protrudes out from rootstock.

Anywase, I have done this 'coffin' graft before on fig plants.  It worked.  It failed on cherimoya (I think the failure is due more to the timing of the graft.)

I really like the fermented stuff like black plums and black vinegar ginger, but I'm sure most would call that stuff an acquired taste. I think the cured stuff may be able to be brought back.

If you dare, try stinky tofu.  I think it is their national food.

Hard to tell from the picture.  I used to have it.  The stemp is darker green, thicker, and smaller than other dragon fruit stemps.  It just look different compare side by side to others.
