The Tropical Fruit Forum

In a gentle way..

Im with Jeff! Where would you place it in a line up?

You can get Potassium Chlorate on Amazon for really cheap.. The instructions to induce flowering are easy to find online. 

Your scions are awful small for the stock.  Also, I find that upright growth is easier to graft onto, horizontal branches tend not to "accept" grafts as well.

I used pool chlorine when I had a concrete tile roof.  If you use the chemical injection on a standard pressure cleaner the final solution is almost as strong as commercial bleach.  Let it sit in the sun for a about fifteen minutes and it will turn the moldy concrete yellowish brown.  Hit that with like a 25 degree tip and you can really cover a lot of space quick.  The heavy strength mix will keep you from developing lines from the individual passes of the sprayer.  It will even get whiter a day or two after.  I was sure to have someone on the ground spraying off the overspray on my plants/trees.  I can honestly say I had zero casualties.  Actually, my Longan nearly fruited itself to death.
Chlorine works great on the ground concrete too, it cuts labor time in quarters.

I have seen the same in Palm Beach on select varieties.  Pineapple Pleasure, NDM 4, Hatcher, Lemon Zest, and even a few Carrie.  No extra fertilizer, wind, or intentional watering?? Maha Chanok, Fairchild, PPK, Pickering, Edgar, Ivory, and a couple others are holding strong in the same yard??

Let's see if we can rekindle an old debate. Does that say garcinia brasilensis on the pot?

The label from Jardines Enieda reads "Bacupari- G.brasilensis"

It was a one gallon in 2011.

My grafted "Mameyito" as they call it (its a lemon drop) has the same growth habit.

@Jay - No new growth at the flower sites but some on the branches.

Nothing really.. Just an occasional foliar spray when I do my yard, some 8-3-9 when I remember.

Yes, very dodgy photo, but since your personal integrity is so high, I am going to take the leap of faith and congratulate you!

He shouldn't be congratulated. It's not like he has a 10ft tall longkong seedling growing outdoors.

I told you its a 10ft Longkang not Longkong.. LOL

I will post better pictures this evening.

All it took was a couple tablespoons of that superior fertilizer mix a few weeks ago and she sent out blooms!

My Maha definitely isn't slow growing at all.  Its a mid range grower in my collection.  Mine was sourced from Excalibur. 

When the show fits, and maybe the mods need to read more posts.  As such, many dont want to be crybaby tattletales, let the members police themselves ...again, this forum has turned into somewhat of a joke and probably about time I leave again.  This time will be for good.  Let the bad information spread, nothing off my back.  In case you haven't noticed some of the better members post less.  From the messages i have gotten, there is a reason for that.  Peace out...

Fruitlovers knows very well that a mono-embryonic mangoseeds don't grow true to type.

He acts like he has the real mahachanok but it's from a seed so not exactly the same as the real one.

That's pure scamming mate.



Don't fool me or other members on this forum.....and go wash your mouth and apologise here. You represent all Americans on this international forum, do you realise how foolish you make all of them look now?

I feel sorry for the real nursery's who also get a bad name by this and your whole nation as well. What do you think Asians are thinking of you guys if you act like this?

These posts are getting difficult for anyone to have to read.
