For yangmei...
Now, not all can make it in 7b. I have selected a variety that does well with no leaf or branch dieback.
Other varieties will do branch dieback or even die.
They can take cold temps like i mentioned, but long periods of cold are not fun.
Will be a while before I can propagate it. And I'm sure there's other ones that will do just as good.
Just I don't know which ones.
I've only tried the common ones.


Jabowise, the nearest jabo to me that's in ground with no protection is around a 7 hour drive south.  :'(
Unless you count my big sabara in ground in the greenhouse

For the yangmei, it was exactly what you are trying to do in this situation. I didn't want to put them in my greenhouse so I trialed them outside.
Although yangmei has more cold tolerance with them getting snow sometimes.

Any updates from east cost people? How are they doing for you?

Tbh I’ve stalled out with yangmei, but I hope to grow a few for me!🤓
Going to be grafting some more!

It may get a bit too cold for you. They do not like wind or dry conditions.
Also prolonged temps at 40-45f will make them drop the leaves.
If you are willing to protect in the winter, it should be doable!

Mafai are typically the thai ones but they come in a variety of forms and fruit colours. Some look a lot like rambai even but the purple seeds give their identity away. There are a few 50 footers on my street in a bit of regrowth by the road. They sure have heavy crops. Speaking of big trees santols get get very large indeed.

The santol tasted pretty sour lol.
I hear there are sweet ones out there.
What's your experience?

Add santol seeds.!

One last set of 10 seeds available!
Thanks!

Good to hear guineese is good.
 I think I have like 3 varieties of this I got from David!
Still small seedlings though

I got those same 3 hahaha

Let's go!!!
Race you to fruit?

I have some cool baccurrea ramiflora seeds...also known as mafai.
It tastes like star fruit!!
$4 a seed
buy 5 or more $3.5 a seed
10+ = $3 a seed.

Santol seed
$5 each
buy 10 for $40

Sweet and sour.
More sour though.
Pretty cool fruit.

I see a lot of ebay sellers wanting $$$ for seeds....where did you get yours? Hows the growth pattern?

Growth pattern is stable like any other mango. Pretty easy to grow. Can't take freezes. I've killed on before
I don't know of anyone selling any right now. Got it in a trade.

I just got...
nvm

I don't think there is a 100% way to tell male or female imbe or Spanish lime for that matter.
If there is, please show me! I think a good way is just finding out the parentage for better % of self pollinating ones.

I think the patent is up. So you could sell.

That's cool to hear!

There is a spineless salak...
But salaks get very big and they are tough to grow (considering you are trying to grow inside).
I have a nice sized one, and if I can keep it alive, I'll go get some more.
Even with my greenhouse, it's gonna be a push.
