Are there any more flowers?
They normally have clusters?

Just wanting to learn which of these nurseries mentioned/linked in this thread might be wholesale/retail?Zills is wholesale only. you can buy mango fruit from them during the season though. Although they do pick them early as seen on numerous threads.
Enquiring minds and all that rot . . .
Cheers!

Thanks guys!You may be ok?
Yes, the maple tree roots are a problem, they break the surface of the greenhouse floor in several places.
But at this point removing it is not an option. To clarify, it is only one tree. It is 70 years old, and absolutely ginormous. It keeps the greenhouse cool in the summer and is home to several sets of squirrels and a pair of screech owls.
We had three trees cut down to make room for the greenhouse, but even if we cut down our maple tree, there are still the neighbors tree roots. We have a pretty small yard, and the greenhouse takes up half of it.
The property line is just past the maple tree, and six feet to the right of the greenhouse. The rhodies you can see on the left are right up against the house. So yeah, it is pretty tight back there!
I guess I will see what happens!

Do you think they’d grow outside unprotected in south FL? Specifically KendallI think they should do good.
Thanks, guys.Good luck! I'm honestly surprised lychee and rambutan aren't doing well for you.
Kaz, I have eaten a few passion fruits and while the flavor is excellent I can't get over the goey mucous texture and seeds. It is a shame because the greenhouse frame makes a great trellis for vines. I had a Inca Peanut vine for a while and it got huge before I ripped it out. Maybe if my feijoa grafts from Marta take, they are supposed to be viney, I read.
Jaboticaba45, I am really jealous of your success with Lychees. Gives me hope that if I try different soils or distilled water I might have better luck. I am trying some rambutans in pure compost now as W. suggested
Thanks for pointing that out.A general rule of thumb is to wait until the plant has pushed two new flushes of growth that have hardened off. Then you can take parafilm around the union off.
The parafilm on the scion will degenerate with no extra work needed.
I think you missed where he said this is the non-permeable plastic film, not parafilm or buddy tape.
My only experience with that plastic stuff is experiencing graft failures. I never have trouble with either parafilm or buddy tape, but the plastic stuff never has worked well for me. My recommendation would be to buy buddy tape or true parafilm, and then never worry about removing it because it will just break down on its own (as long as you only do single or double layer at most).
Mine died when it went below 15f.Lujan and Campo Ramon looked the best out of my Plinias during winter. Barely even dropped a couple leaves at most.
See! That's what I have read about the Lujan. I was hoping I could put it in the ground with some protection.
Thank you all for your insights on this topic. @Jaboticaba45, I have a DongKui Yangmei, do you suppose this one could make it out there?
