Dang I need to get some loquat seeds. I have never tried onethere's trees around Seattle in August/July with fruit, there might be some in Olympia but I'm not sure
what rootstocks are optimal? for vigor and disease resistance especiallyThey can be grafted onto myrica pennyslvanica, rubra, cerifera, and californica with differing growth rates and success rates.Anyone know of male trees being sold?I think he plans to make male plants next year...
Several members have male plant scion wood sometimes available, but you need to graft.
Gotcha! I've never grafted a tree before - I know the theory behind it but thats it. With all sudden death experiences on this thread, I may not even need a male hahha Staying positive so maybe its time to give grafting a try! Are these being grafted on to the female as a branch or using other myrica as rootstock? TIA
You could graft onto a female plant if you want to save space.
r. The fruiting carpels are always sessile, and (asI found this section of the article really interesting. Most of these species are considered good-eating duguetias. Perhaps due to the filled space between the seeds, there is slightly more flesh? also i suppose flavor is something to take into account.
stated above) free or nearly so in most species, despite
the compact appearance of the fruit as a whole. In a
minority of species carpels are fused for 10% of their
length or more; carpels connate for 60% or more occur
in five species, viz., D. echinophora, D. furfuracea, D.
lepidota (Fig. 11), D. marcgraviana, and D.
microphylla, as well as in the African species D. barteri
and D. con
I've really enjoyed the monograph on the genus Duguetia, published in 2003. Includes botanical description of all species to that date, location/distribution info, local names, some information on fruit edibility, distribution maps, botanical illustrations, etc.
You can get it at least two ways:
1) online access through jstor.org, where you can sign up for a "free to read" account. Unfortunately this particular publication is not text searchable, but hey it's free! Once you set up your free account you can use this link to access:
http://www.jstor.org/stable/4393920
2) purchase the hardcover monograph from the publisher, New York Botanical Garden. I got one along with the monograph on Sapotaceae which is not hardcover and can also be accessed through jstor. Very pleased with the production quality of the publication.

I wonder if this thread should get a catchy name like the other genera-related threads. Perhaps Duguetia Dreams: The Official Thread.if you want to try, i would reccomend aff confusa, they arrived germinated and are pushing out of the seed already. Ill update with more info as (more like if...) they grow
I personally have never been foolhardy enough to try and grow Duguetia from seed. I know it would be a waste of money. I've had enough problems with rarer Annona species and no luck with Uvarias. I would probably have just as much chance of germinating a healthy Duguetia seedling from a $10 bill planted in the dirt as I would planting a Duguetia seed.
do you have Home Depot in florida? Thats where i get the sand (i use builders sand)Something that I have found to be critical when growing very young and small seedlings is to use mostly sand, around 75-80% or so (or 60% with 20% perlite). This is also the same medium I've been using for everything since this spring, and my losses have gone down so much it's ridiculous. For pots, I have been using red solo cups due to their cost and pretty good dimensions. To germinate things I use moist vermiculite and it works well, I've also used moist sand
Where do you get your sand? If I go to Lowe’s they only have playground sand. On amazon, the little bags of sand aren’t enough for all the things I grow. I would love to know your source!!
Ok, good info. For my small germinated seedlings, I don't want to use sand yet since the roots are too fragile, maybe when it grows to 3" tall. For now, I will use either peat moss or coco coir in the small pots.that makes sense, although my issue is that very often the roots will mold or rot when young
hello everyone, i have some plants i need to sell before it gets too cold

I am happy you got them and were able to try! Is it one you may be interested in growing, or not up to par?I think the fault is from shipping or picking time and maybe not so much genetics, either way im going to grow out the seeds since the flavor was very very good. thank you again! that was very generous!
