The Tropical Fruit Forum

Haha. Exactly, Xesoteryc. I think it's his cruel joke to advertise all the best stuff, then not to sell to us! The plan now is to collect, propagate, then sell something tempting enough that he'll buy. That would open the door, but it's a paradox, because he's already got the best stuff!

(I'm just playing, obviously. There's a lot of flakes and even more jerks in the world. I get it.)

I am offering scions, cut to order of all sorts of great, hard to find varieties. They are all limited quantities, some extremely limited. First come first serve.

Please message me with your requested order and I will respond with confirmation on what I can fill and the cost. Once you pay with either PayPal or Venmo, friends and family option, I will cut and package and ship your order with usps flat rate.

Minimum order of $25
Shipping costs $12 for small flat, $16 for medium flat

Has anyone seen this kind of issue? This is longipetiolatum and it's been in the ground here for a few years with only a hint of this in previous winters. The spots appeared over the last few weeks after a few mild freezes, but looks more fungal than freeze damage to me (maybe a fungus that invaded after mild freeze damage?). The shade of the leaves also has been getting pale since late summer even after some fish emulsion a few times, so I was suspecting soil pH issues.

My new location will be in Hollister Ranch, on a 100 acre lot, with 20gpm well, in SOLID 10a zone, with a 17,000lb producing avocado orchard on property. The barn is rough, but has a living unit built into it. The owner of the property found me by way of my newspaper article and wants me there badly. He has also been collecting "rare" fruit trees for 40 years or so, and was excited by my collection. I'll be doing 10 hours of work a week for him to offset the rent a bit, and expanding his orchard, with a focus on rare stuff.

It's exciting for me, despite the drawbacks of the ranch - it's a 40-50 min drive to Santa Barbara where I work. The gates are airtight and I am uncertain if I'll be able to have guests. Have to sell my motorcycles, etc...

A new stage in my life, for sure.

Do any members have amazon tree grape seeds please

Can't you just cut the root off?

I don't know. It seems like a large major root. Perhaps it would be best to do it early spring as it is waking up?

Cherimoya Queen on YouTube has several videos of doing just that. She had the same issue, cut it off and it will be fine

Wow she has a lot of info. I will definitely binge her videos

Success never smelled so good! My first ever Tropical Pink

I got only one fruit this year. Loved it. My Mexican guava is starting to send it's sweet fragrance around my garden. I need to pick it tomorrow or the darn squirrel will find it.
