« on: January 02, 2025, 08:30:32 PM »I rechecked mine and it is also a seedling with a tap root. I contacted the seller. No way to know what the fruit will be like if it’s a seedling.
It is seedling, mine has tap root.
Ebay refunded me. Hopefully you got a refund also.

2 trees shipped was like $77 with the discount.
I bought the tree from the link. Seller said it is a seedling. Anyone that has the red diamond, can you confirm the leaf is correct?

Thanks for identifying! I been wondering for a while which type it was. If you are looking for low acid to none and very soft seeds, my sister has white pomegranate, clear arils and juice is clear. It is one variety i will graft to the sweet this coming spring.

Its been a while since i planted the eversweet. Hopefully i didnt forget and it is actually a sweet, or utah sweet. Image to show you what it looks like. Decent size. The seeds are softer than Wonderful Pom. I dont want to take over another persons post, so just send me pm to talk about it

Is the Hawaiian pom sweet with soft seeds? I bought the ambrosia to graft to my main pom (eversweet) in ground and failed several times. The ambrosia is in a pot and 3 feet tall. This coming spring i will prune eversweet back alot and graft many varieties to it. I will place ambrosia in ground since few people want it. I dont have many cuttings to trade since tree is small.

I have ambroisia in a pot and no fruits yet. I read that it gets 2-3 times bigger than the commercially sold Wonderful variety. Is now a good time to graft? In spring we can trade if you like.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Carmine Type Guava - Red Blush on Fruit
« on: December 06, 2024, 07:15:28 PM »
I used to not like guava due to seeds were difficult to chew. One day i tried just chewing the center slightly and swollowing the seeds. Since then I have been on the hunt for best tasting guavas. This is referring to soft flesh.
For hard flesh i seek seedless guavas, or ones that has seeds in the center for easy removal.

I was down there recently. LA traffic is horrific. I made a list of nurseries but didnt have time to check them all. I like EKT and Magnolia.
Ong Nursery is open only Sat & Sun, so I didnt get a chance to go.

I was in LA and picked up another lychee. I looked for the healthiest one and thought it was sweetheart lychee. Today I saw the tag and it said mauritius. I googled it and it brought me back to this page.... lol. I will do your method of protecting it and set irrigation for it. This time around I will only feed it worm casting.

« on: November 27, 2024, 10:32:03 PM »My Brewster lychee died and was pulled. The kids called it the drama queen tree as it really didn't like the small bit of fertilizer given. The Kohala longan, on the other hand, has been a champ. A few fruits. None quite tasty but a good first start. It's grown and has solid growth plans. Wasn't a huge fan of the heatwave we got but took the 110F and 100F+ days better than my avocado.
I might try another lychee at some point but the Brewster I had was definitely temperamental.
Which part of CA 9B are you in? My sweetheart lychee died also. I believe from fertilizer and no wind protection. I just bought another and overwintering it in garage. When it goes in ground in spring i will protect it from wind and give only worm casting.

Mine dies back a bit in winter then regrows. I let mint, pepino, and passion fruit took over and covered it. Need to check to see if it is still there. The fruit is good, tropical and complex.
