Yes, after picking fully ripe. Similar to medlar, but not as extreme. Thanks for trying itI suggest you try ripening the fruit on the counter after they drop. I saw one fruit collector say E. patrisii needs to ripen another 2-3 weeks, as an example.
Do you mean pick them fully ripe (or very nearly so) and let them sit for a couple weeks? Or pick them way unripe?
I just picked two ripe ones and set them on the counter. I'll report in April
I think the employees are DELIBERATELY "missending" to get overtime, spite the system, get a raise, justify their jobs or are just plain mean. Maybe all of them.
USPS shipping is terrible. The employees are not competent and unaccountable because they are almost un-fireable. The tracking is inaccurate i.e. the arrival dates (delivery notices for items that HAVE NOT been delivered). Packages are not handled well. The service is over priced. Part of the issue is they have not modernized. Part of the issue is training. I do not advocate for privatizing the USPS the same way I do not advocate privatizing the police or the fire department. I do advocate them improving in all the areas that I stated.
This week, I have 2 shipments of seeds coming in (Lucky me! I haven't had one for more than half a year!), including about ~2 dozen kinds of seeds, including the Mysterious Mulchi.
There isn't much information out there on the Mulchi, and very few have fruited it.
Plinia Inflata is a very intriguing specie, and because of this seeds out very fast. When Bellamytrees of Anderson Tropicals get them in, they sellout sometimes within days. Anderson Tropicals has 4 left in stock, and after checking my emails they got them in a few days short a month ago. This might be the first time ever Mulchi have stayed in stock for over a month.
Do you grow Mulchi?
If you do, then I'd like to make this thread about your growing experiences. I doesn't matter if your seedling is half a decade old or half a month old, you've still learnt something, and it is worth sharing.
Here are some questions going through my mind that would be nice to answer:
How fast do they grow?
What is the best way to germinate them?
What do and don't they like? Direct sun? Humidity when young etc..?
Are they hardy or sensitive?
Are they attacked by pests and/or diseases?
Are they moisture loving?
Do they love fertiliser?
Do they like to flower before holding fruit?
Do they grow bushy or upright?
And lastly... Can they tolerate the cold???
Any experiences would be helpful, so please share them!
Thank you for your help!
We have ordered some seeds a week ago and nothing yet. I messaged him to check if the business is active and no answer yet.That's just how he is. Has stuff others don't have, but you might wait a month or two. Different story from fruitlovers.
I should have checked first before ordering like i emailed Oscar from fruitlovers and never heard back. Some sites like ghost businesses.
I found that it took pureeing the whole fruits, straining it, adding a bunch of sugar, and then significantly diluting the resulting mixture with water before I could really taste and appreciate the underlying flavors.Did you taste different underlying flavors?
New amazing varietySo this is from a different source as what you've sold previously?
