The Tropical Fruit Forum

This is by no means a huge tree and could be kept small. It starts flowering around 4' tall.  And realistically could be kept in a big pot in a greenhouse. In my opinion

But to answer everyone's orders I have contacted the source and should be able to get more fruits next week.  I will start filling the orders in order starting tomorrow

Do you still have some seeds Jeff?

i have 4 fruiting types so far.
i have a large pink, no pics for it now.

i kind of like this small pink though.
the plant is in a 7gal container, and isnt but 3ft tall
its getting 8 to 10 fruits at a time for a "main crop"
and has a couple here and there through the year.
its still pretty young, so, that may change.

i had thought this was a root-cutting from the Mexican cream (yellow-ish)
but, i might have mixed it up with one i grew from seed.

I really like this large white fruit.
The first year, i hated eating guava because of the seeds
now i just chew the  seeds. not sure why i didnt do that before
i guess i thought they were too hard, but im pretty pleased with chewing them
and really like this white fruit.

the pink is OK, just not quite as sweet.
my large pink is about the same.





small pink - 3ft - 7gal

What variety is the white one greenman62? Thanks!

Hi Onur
the white one is from Lowes for $2 on sale !
and it has a great flavor.

i had bought 2 plants.
one said from Mexico, one said Asian
one turned out to be red, the other white
not sure which is which.
 i lost the tags
but, those tags get mixed up at lowes all the time anyway.

Ha haa!  Thanks!

Looking for Rambai seedling or seeds. Please let me know if you have any!

Is "Osmocote Pro 19-5-8 Minors, 8- 9 Month" good one for the container grown trees?

Does anyone have Bali Salak seedling or seeds for sale?

Thanks
Onur

I had babaco growing well for about 6 months and then it died. Both Babaco and Tamarillo have done great until July and then both died. If I were to try them again, I would have them in the shade. The Tamarillo fruited but died before they ripened. The Babaco flowered, but then died.

Thans Geosulcata!  Is Babaco self-pollinating?

there's some amount of Guayas ready for all of you who have been requesting they are for some reason late this year, it's a great fruit with delicious sweet flavor, much better than genip or Mamoncillos, Spanish lime,  the price is 8 for 22+6 for shipping USA, 8 Europe, 11 Asia and Australia, the tree is mono, so no need of male and female

delicious sweet with unique flavor and a tangy ending note
compact tree , easy to prune
no astringency like mamoncillos
no need of male and female trees
Picture of the tree 20 years old;

Fruit in hand

Also theres news of the family of this fruit as being effective against cancer,

Hi Raul!

Guaya seeds arrived germinated. Thank you. They look good.  Hope the other seeds I ordered arrive as seedlings... ! 

Best

Babaco does not like temps above 80f. I am sure however you can graft it to a disease resistant healthy rootstock. Should impart some adaptability to low land tropical climate.

Thank you nullzero!

I heard that babaco was a pretty tasty fruit. Has anyone ever grown babaco and got it to fruit in Florida successfully?

Thanks
Onur

The new foliage actually looks good. I wonder if the old foliage just hung around for too long?

Right! It seems like the old foliage does not go easily and quickly...

Thank you Michael! You are very kind! Although I saw this after few months...

For those people who received keledang seeds from me a couple of years ago I did say and shown in the pictures that fruit were large,big bulbed,brighter orange fleshed than usual and of excellent taste.I also mentioned that it fruits at a small tree size with the mother tree staying quite small and producing heavily.I won't repost the internal fruit pics again but here is the mother tree.It has the best keledangs in the district.

Beautiful trees and fruits Mike! I tried to grow two little Keledang seedlings but they died for a reason I could not figure out ! They had come from Hawaii. Please let me know when you have seeds as I really want to have a Keledang tree.
