Theres no actual means of paying via the forum. Most exchanges are done thru PayPal. Just shoot the person you want to buy from a personal message and they should walk you thru.

I have a serious infestation going on right now. Thousands per trees. They seem to be going after any tree with pinnate leaves just like the tree of heaven. Heartnut, black walnut, stag horn sumac are covered. Took out a ton tonight with some dawn/water in a sprayer

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Maprang or Mango?
« on: June 29, 2022, 10:32:18 PM »If the ad was for "maprang mango" or "mango maprang", it is definitely a mango. A friend in Texas got burned with this as well. Not sure if seller doesn't have a clue or is intentionally doing this. I know they were told the tree was a mango and not a maprang.
Yup just went back and checked my purchases, "3ft grafted maprang mango". Well i guess that answers that lol

I've noticed I have to keep mine well watered otherwise its prone to wilting. I used to keep it against the house (southern exposure) in full sun all day and had that problem all the time. Moved it to a spot that receives some late day shade and now its flowering like crazy.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Maprang or Mango?
« on: June 27, 2022, 06:40:24 PM »
I bought a tree from an online seller out of PR, was supposed to be a grafted maprang. The foliage had me a little skeptical but now its flowering and I'm really having second thoughts. This is a mango isn't it?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is a black sapote tree worth having?
« on: June 20, 2022, 11:44:55 PM »I grew a black sapote from seedling and it fruited on its own in a few years, definitely does not need another tree to set fruit. I like it a lot but I could see why people might not like it as the flavor is mild and the ripe black fruit is off-putting to some. It tastes nothing like normal persimmon, they aren't really comparable in my opinion.
Thats good to know. My tree set one fruit that never amounted to anything otherwise flowers profusely and drops all of them.

Being that you say you're short on space I believe black sapote is dioecious (still trying to find a definitive answer on this). Something to keep in mind.

If they are like Triloba you should give them the squeeze test every so often to see if they have any give and you can judge it from there. Thats when you will know when they are ready. They usually fall right off the tree with the slightest touch.

Leaves look a lot glossier than the honeyberry plants I grow. Is it evergreen?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Eugenia seedling dieback
« on: May 31, 2022, 10:57:17 PM »Me too. Many start a radicle root but no shoot. Some start a shoot but it dies at under 1cm.
At least I'm not alone on this lol I don't get it. It sucks too cause I manage to get some nice varieties/species and the majority never amount to anything. Pretty discouraging sometimes.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Eugenia seedling dieback
« on: May 31, 2022, 10:23:21 PM »
I consistently have problems with getting Eugenia seedlings over the hump. The first growth start out strong and then the tips turn brown and die back. They will then send out new growth and repeat the process over again. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Example below

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Flavor of the lemonquat rind
« on: May 23, 2022, 09:49:04 PM »I never tasted a Lemonquat. I did have a Sunquat some years ago. It was not worth keeping and tossed it out on the compost pile.
I agree. Sunquat rind tasted like eating perfume/soap. Still haven't tossed it yet tho.

« on: May 18, 2022, 10:43:31 PM »
Yup larger flowers are female. I've also wondered about the pollen and had no idea what even pollinates these things. I decided to do some hand pollination these past few weeks. Something was definitely left on the stigma. Possibly a couple fruits look like they might hold.
