The Tropical Fruit Forum

Got my plant originally from Exotica, not sure where they sourced theirs from

I gave one to Rick and his was flowering! Hopefully some of mine will start up here soon.

These seedlings are from seeds imported from Brazil! They are probably the same batch but should be genetically distinct enough to provide pollen as a distinct parent.

Howdy everyone, the national heirloom vegetable expo is going to ventura this year and I as well as some other tropical fruit vendors will be vending.  I'm including a list of the things i'll be bringing. Thanks and look forward to meeting socal people!

Thanks everyone!

I see your P striatulum is doing the cleistogamous (don't open) flowers thing. My plant didnt do it for the first few years now its common on my mother and all the seedlings. My mother started producing opened flowers this year but still a good bunch of them are cleistogamous.  Wonder if its a recessive trait that is due to inbreeding due to a lack of genetic diversity.  Would be great to get some different genetics to breed that trait out.  The fern leaf I gave you has so many seedlings from that batch of seeds that are not fern leafed and i wonder if its related to P striat due to visual similarities, maybe can use that to cross.

Nice to see the thread updated. Looking good K-rimes
My eugeniafolia are not ripening lol. Been taking so long...

Psidiums seem to sit for everrr and then all of a sudden ripen up. my longipetiolatum sized up and then ripened months later

Has anybody tried removing the endocarp per Ronnie Demler's methods and not soaked in GA3?  I'm thinking of trying to remove the endocarp to speed up germination but not sure if the GA3 will be a requirement to break dormancy?

Nattyfroootz - Thank you for the support brother! For anyone who doesnt know this is the guy that runs https://www.wildlandsplants.com/  -  Check them out if you havent already. Its a great site that has some great plant info, and a shop with cool species for sale. They are also the only provider of merch to my knowledge (shirts, sticker, etc), and the art is SICK!

Thanks Kameron! Appreciate the shout out!

These seedlings have grown very well for me. They didn't show any damage over winter.

Thanks Jet!

I see you added more photos but did not remove the one where you cropped the watermark out. It is illegal to use someone's photos for commercial purposes with out permission. I kindly ask that you remove it from your listing. Thank you

My in ground Myrica rubra seedlings have a distinct talc-y coat on the new leaves. None of my grafted plants or Myrica esculenta are doing this.  Pretty cool to see. A defense mechanism to protect new growth from extreme sun exposure. Also looks totally beautiful

I was just admiring my in ground seedlings today. From now on I'm going from 4" to in the ground with shade cages for the first year
