The Tropical Fruit Forum

My Hak Ip was the first to show bloom forming, early January 2022.  I haven't seen any on my other varieties yet.  Last year they bloomed at the end of January.  Myakka City 9b

I ate the fruit down at Fruit & Spice Park but lost the label I made.  The seedlings have germinated and I wonder if anyone can help provide its name.

Blueberries are a pain to grow here.   Commercial growers use a lot of chemicals and I know of several who have given up and sold their land.  As said above, keep them in pots and it will be easier to maintain an acid soil.  Peat moss will lower the Ph.

My Coconut Cream tree gave me her first ever fruit and it was exquisite.  Great coconut flavor and so sweet.  It was like Golden Syrup had been poured over it.  I can't imagine there could be a better tasting mango.

Excellent, it says of Lakoocha "The extract of the fruit reduces hair loss and stimulates the propagation of hair".  Good news for me!

I ate this fruit at the Redlands Fruit and Spice Park, but didn’t see a label on the tree.  It was extremely tasty similar to a mango in flavor.  Any ideas of its name?

I grow lots of red ones from seed.  I love them, but my wife hates them.  I did the old planting a black seed and of course it reverted to red.  I also bought a black tree, which is sweeter than the others, but is not black.  Recently I bought another grafted black Surinam Cherry and it has fruit developing, so fingers crossed this will be the real deal.

I have an Anna and this Dorsett planted a year ago in Central Florida Zone 9b.  This is the first apple I have seen developing.  Most of the year this area is dry, but in the autumn the ground water table rises to the surface, so I mound my trees.

Insects don't normally bother will them, but will suck on extra ripe ones, when the sugars are highest.

I still have some Pickering 7 gallon trees and Coconut Cream 3 gallon for sale (Myakka).

My Fuyu woke up a month ago and now has flowers.  My Tanenashi only just started sprouting and does not have flower yet. 

They all look great to me.  If they were my trees I'd let those varieties fruit at that size.

This took around 6 months to germinate by which time I forgot what I planted. Anyone have an idea what they are?
