In the unfurling flood disaster. My thoughts are with you.

Looks like an Atractocarpus and maybe a feral A.fitzalani but inside is nor quite right.A flower would reveal all.
the ones i tasted all reminded me of a lychee and grapefruit (without any bitterness)
i've never had the gumption to eat the skin! it has a peculiar flavor, reminiscent of the way curry leaves smell...
i have seen isolated trees fruiting
this is a great fruit!!
I have one planted out in the yard, a grafted chicken heart..probably has some sort of nutrient deficiency, because it's only grown about 8 inch in 2yri bought a seedling from Polynesian stand a few months ago.
seems pretty healthy. started off slow, but, growing nicely now.
supposedly Chicken-heart.
i read somewhere you need a male and female tree ?
maybe not, cant find it now...
does a second tree increase fruit production / size /taste ?

QuoteIf they don't respond to your claims, and make the situation right, they will be banned from the forum.
They have until the end of the week to correct the issue.
They didn't refund, or send the trees and seeds that I ordered.
I opened a paypal claim.
They talked me into canceling the Paypal claim, saying that they would send the rest of my order if I did so.
That was last month.
They did not keep their word.
The way paypal works, if you cancel a claim you can not open it back up.
These people kept my money, and didn't send my trees and seeds.
I'd like to give my business to honest people.
I don't care how big your business is, or how long you've been around.
I still have 20 Finger lime trees to purchase. I also want to purchase Russell River Lime, Sunrise lime, and Blood lime trees.
If you can insure the trees, and include the required certificate, feel free to contact me.
Thank you
I just banned them because they did not respond to this post. If they wish to be unbanned, they can send me an email or PM through Starling as he appears to know them.
Not to be argumentative; but unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this seller.
They only sent half of my order, and kept the money for the rest.
I ordered over $400 total, in seeds and trees.
I have given them every opportunity to do the right thing, and either send the remainder of my order, or refund me.
There are other issues as well.
They do not have the best customer service, and were very insulting when I reminded them that they had not sent the rest of my order.
I have yet to see if the trees that they sent are true to the variety that they claim to have sold.
I will say that their shipping was superior to any other method I have seen.
They don't actually send you what you pay for, but what you get is in good condition.
I Thank you Millet
Those conditions are so easy to replicate, at least for my purposes.
Low humidity and the wrong soil can really make abius unhappy.They like fertile soil and lots of water but recover from hardship well and can boom quickly after mulch,fertilizer and water are applied.My 2 year old grafted z4 is 8 feet high and had hundreds of fingernail sized fruit 2 weeks ago,The fruit spotting bugs are picking them off and now there is around 40 jab sabara sized fruit left.This tree has thrived on neglect but wilted badly in dry times dropping leaves and flushing quickly when the rain came.
That one you gave me starling is doing well, I changed it out of the coir mix and put it straight into a large pot with osmocote rose azalea mix which I have been using for the eugenias and it went Into the shade where its new growth was hit by ful sun. Burnt all the old leaves off and now all new growth is sun hardened and growing really well. The other abius I bought from seed went into same mix and are racing away. They seem to like the bigger pot as that taproot just seems to head south real fast.

We always used house bricks growing up. Such a yummy mess.
The off topic section was just going nowhere so I removed it. It was created as a way to keep unrelated topics out of the main discussion but that turned into a bunch of members personally insulting each other and then brining those insults into the main discussion as well.
Anyone posting off topic type of posts in the main discussion will be warned, and then banned.
Good call. I'll confess to how emotionally aggressive and testy I can get regarding politics and cults. There are plenty of venues on the internet to discuss politics, religion, and other controversial topics. Politics and folks' off topic opinions don't belong in a gardening forum.
I would like to see a "LIKE" button. It would shorten many of the threads that have tons of scripted high fives.
A like button sounds like a good idea.
The Ricks Red pictured is one of two types of a Ricks Red. It's the Daleys version. The original one from Rick Deering has black skinned fruit with vivid red pulp. The Daleys one has brown to red skin with lighter red pulp. The black skinned one is far superior. Got rid of my Daleys Ricks Red.
My Tamborine Lime? Weird name, considering Tamborine is an anglicisation of the local word for finger lime, or the being whose fingers the limes represent. So the Mt Tamborine Lime should be the finger lime. The other lime is the Dooja or Gympie Lime. It's basically looks like a Makrut fruit, on a finger lime tree. Foliage varies wildly, from tiny leaves to leaves 2/3 the size of regular lime trees. Is the mt Tamborine lime the same as the Dooja?
If you were shipwrecked on a desert island and only had that jaboticaba for food you would be wolfing them down and loving the taste.... nearly all claims of not liking certain foods are BS and pseudo one upmanship...... Talking generally, not about you.
What a nice yielding tree!
Jaboticaba wine is extremely sweet and dark. I was gifted a few bottles from a client, I couldn't drink it straight but it was very good for making desserts and the like. Quince boiled in spiced jaboticaba wine was pretty good.

A mate at work would metaphorically murder you for a handful of them.
Amazingly, I didn't have any set on my sabara yet, just a bit on the grimal. We haven't had this much rain in spring for, well, ever. So maybe mine just wanted to be a bit drier...
It's a moist canistel. Main difference is that they are 100x more attractive to bats.
Mike how do these compare to green sapote? Would you rate them as good as these or even mamey? Or are they closer to canistel?
I can at least answer part of your question. I don't know about the green sapote, but the ross sapote taste very, very much like a canistel.
