Thanks!

I have both the Dekopon and Shiranui, the they look and taste very similar, but my Shiranui is a dwarf with a ton of flowers.
The Dekopon is a 6 foot tree, mature and still holding fruit, minimal flowers.

I would think they'd flower the same time but they don't.
Taste wise, they've very delicious, sweet, lightly acidic, soft chewy bite, easy peel, easy to chew, no fibers, very easy to eat.

Never seen a single seed, in dozens of fruits I've consumed, very strange didn't even know they had seeds.

Do you have images ofyour crystal and seedless thai

Yes I have both but I don't share it on here because of IP Copyright issues. (Ends up on ebay or somewhere else)
I dislike the fact that my own pictures are being used by someone who claims it's theirs.
Email me and I'll send you pictures with my watermark on it, along with my metadata.

To make it simple, lineage is from chnursery.
Long story short, the tree purchased from them was in terrible shape, graft didn't even properly take.
I pruned and regrafted on my own tree and it's been doing great since, had several fruits.

Updated list for Spring 2020 Availability.

Shipping will be first week of March.

Pick up or meeting locally works too!

Wow... how could anything grow so massive and beautiful with such a small green stem!

Congrats, I started eating mine this past weekend.
Grown in a pot, had several pounds of pods.

I usually repot during winter or late winter then prune.
Spring they'll explode with growth.

That's insane growth, we have only 5-6 months of growing season here in the Bay.
What happened to all of the bark? Did you rub them off or did it grow so fast that it didn't show any signs?

Careful about putting it in the ground, they have a very evasive root system.

Brad is awesome, support him so he can continue to provide us with the goods!

Thanks for the loot Brad!

I had a similar problem with my Alano in the past.
I just pruned the sides and let the center grow.

As it matures, the top branches become thicker and stretch out more, if you're looking for height.
If you leave the growth that low, your tree will remain a dwarf since all the energy is diverted evenly.

Such a healthy looking tree, I'd leave it and perhaps search for another tree that is taller?
A single branched tree should be a great start, then it'll start to grow more uniform as it matures.

Thanks waxy.  The tree does look really healthy.  It was a father day gift from my two little boys so they watch it everyday waiting for a fruit to grow.  I told them we going to have to be very very patient.

When you mention prune the sides and to allow the central leader to grow do you mean maintain the sides at a shorter length or cut them off?

How is your Alano?  Would you mind sending me some photos of it.

Thank you

I waited until late winter time to do the pruning, as many other trees.
They take a long time to heal from the wound, and I would not put anything on the wound, the sap it excretes is more than enough to keep pests away.

Growth habits here in NorCal are different, temp swings are one of many factors, so late winter is the best time for us.
It begins around late April (Early Spring) all the way until early October then it goes completely dormant.

My tree is quite old, I think it's well over 10 years old, grown in a container.
Clusters of fruits on it right now, but the fruits take 2 years or more to mature, yes 2 years.
I think I have your contact number, shoot me a PM if you want to see some pictures or I can email you.

Waxy

Got some stuff from her as well, shipped very fast, awesome stuff and very large cuttings!
As of today, they're all pushing growth, inches by the day!

Forget the haters, they're just jealous and want to claim everything is theirs.
We should be thanking her for providing us a share of her bounty.

Maybe I need to point out that all of the pictures "Someone" posts on their ebay auctions are pictures from another country claiming it to be their own, when it's clearly from the street markets or stores LOL
