The Tropical Fruit Forum

Yeah RKN sucks. Glad my habitat isn't prime for it and that I have space to grow them that isn't my main growing space.

The scions from the China plants that I grafted onto Myrica californica have officially surpassed the plants we imported from China. They are much more vigorous, and appear to be healthier.  I'm thinking that I have gotten about a 60% take rate on scions but still gonna hold out. Some of them have a good couple inches of growth so I'd Imagine those are takes.  Others flushed, died back and are flushing again, making me think they were growing on stored energy but have now officially taken.

Note to future purchasers. Graft immediately onto new rootstocks. I grafted a couple weeks after the plants arrived and the plants started to show signs of pushing buds. Most of the buds held and pushed, some pushed and withered but are coming back for a second push.

I unfortunately couldn't find a ton of info on maturity and fruiting although I can say they seem to grow pretty rapidly.  I'm gonna plant some 4" out with some Acacia and close to some Ice Cream bean to see how things will do.  Not sure about pollination but I'll do a little more research this evening and get back to you.

Definitely reccomended to be planted amongst Nitrogen fixing species and they even mentioned sowing pots with Trifolium spp.

Yeah they are definitely pretty variable. I have a pretty good grafted variety, forget the name, but it's got  good fruit.  Also have a neighbor with a big decent sized tree  I can get plenty of seeds from

Not too bad, neighbors still drive by and drop off horse manure for f ree 

It's a bummer, that happened to me the first time more or less (got one survivor).  I'll be selling some of the duplicates of the grafted yangmei that I imported if anyone is interested in getting some recovered plants later this year.

Congrats!

Pretty much 100% positive it is.  They are everywhere around me.

Syzygium paniclatum, pretty certainly.

I have hundreds of wampee seedlings I could give a good price if you want a lot. I'll keep me eyes open for any named varieties

Broo, sending Citrus from a quarantine area to out of state? That's not cool

I move my plants with scale outside...usually the condition change causes them to no longer thrive and then I imagine parasitoids are more capable of accessing them

Straight lutescens? Or the Uvaia in general? I'll have a couple different seedlings of Brazilian uvaia hybrids (pyriformis x lutescens) from my understanding.
