Was at a nursery in SoCal and grabbed a grafted mango labelled "Oro". They had another graft labeled golden Oro. While researching this variety, apparently one is more reddish/pink when ripe and the other is yellow.
All their manilla types are in flower, which is exactly what I'm looking for. So does anyone have experience with this pinkish manilla type?
So I've bought multiple brands of parafilm. My results are certain parafilm works with bark grafts, but not cleft grafts. Too much moisture is retained and the union rots.
I have a seedling growing and it was just one branch growing 5 ft upward. I cut it to about 1.5 ft from soil level. Hoping to form a wide branching tree forming from the base.
Most Rollinia trees I've seen in Hawaii are central leader behemoths. Is this just textbook bad management or do they have a preferred growth pattern?
I have a San Pablo seedling. Been growing it for over a year. I'm in SoCal so probably not the best to plant here. If anyone wants to trade, let me know
So I attended this event marketed as a fig Scion exchange in Long Beach. It had a lot of main heads of the CRFG LA. But it turned out to be a marketing event for selling products. I did some research and it looks like they're just rebranding a bunch of named varieties of figs. Over $100 for scions? Yeah, be wary of scams homies.
Am wondering if anyone has experimented with growing different varieties of cane in San Diego and which varieties are the best for juicing. Also what's the right time of year to start cuttings.
Does anyone have experience with cherimoya trees dying after a certain age? Online it says that they live 30-50 years old but have seen a lot of orchards planted in the 70s going strong without missing trees. I guess what’s the oldest grove you guys have seen?
Does anyone have experience with this variety? It’s a hybrid between a Zebrina and Gran Nain and supposedly produces a red banana similar to the flavor of cavendish. The plant has variegated leaves and looks incredible. I’m wondering how the fruit is though because I read that it could be small.
Anyone have a good reference on how to properly multiple rootstock graft? I tried this method in the picture attached and they failed. Looking for advice on how to do it correct.
I have lots of cherimoya rootstock from booth cherimoya seeds pushing 2-3ft, as well as newly grafted booth cherimoya seedlings. This is our etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HanakiFarms
