Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Che, medlar, arbutus trees
« on: January 11, 2024, 08:10:52 PM »
Did manage to get che cuttings many months ago but again failed at rooting them. Had seeds once too but no luck either. Definitely want to grow it if anyone ever has rooted cuttings of a self fertile variety or a male to go with the female. I'm always down to try rooting but since I've had no success with che I'd certainly just buy already rooted plants too.

Did manage to get some sprouts of the arbutus marina variety from the seeds NateTheGreat sent. Unfortunately rats took a liking to them and eventually screwed them all up. No matter how many rats or mice you take out around here there's always more that show up. Guess it comes with having deer feed and chicken feed around. Easy pickings for them to thrive on. Unfortunately they like lots of various seeds and seedlings too...

Still looking to round up all 3 of these species.

I have Che seedlings and medlar seeds available. I have 2 varieties of medlar and macrocarpa is very good and they ripen on the tree

What are you wanting for the seeds and seedlings?

Definitely not a spammer here. Pretty sure my sales and customers prove that.

I could trade you golden Dorsett apple scions or chickasaw plum bare root plants. Wouldn't mind trying a few scions. Would only need a few though.

No worries man I'll hold them for you. Still have Glycomis seeds though.

Temperate Fruit Buy, Sell, & Trade / Bronze scuppernog grape cuttings
« on: December 21, 2023, 05:13:05 PM »
Bunches of available cuttings of bronze scuppernog grape. Not sure what the variety may have been but the original vines are from the property behind mine. They've been there an awful long time. There's two varieties growing on a gazebo like arbor on that neighbor's land. I rooted a piece from one of them a few years back for my own yard. Wish I could get a piece of the other variety. Met the original owner when we moved here but the land has been sold twice since then and I don't know the new owners and they aren't living there full time yet. The particular one I have is very productive and very sweet. Good sized grapes like many you might buy at a store. My vine has lots of growth to cut back. Can send good length cuttings at $1.50 each. Minimum of 8 cuttings at $12 plus applicable shipping. Small flat rate box or priority mail package if cheaper.

Thanks! DG

Temperate Fruit Buy, Sell, & Trade / Golden Dorsett apple scions
« on: December 21, 2023, 02:38:20 PM »
Have a bunch of Golden Dorsett apple scions available. I'd like to shorten the tree before next spring and would cut scions fresh to order. Won't all be tip cuts. Should be able to do a variety of diameters. Tree grows really good here in the FL panhandle. I originally grafted two scions on a random seedling that popped up in the yard from compost. It fruited at 3 years after grafting. First time I'd ever picked apples last year so not sure if they were perfectly ripe or not but they tasted somewhat similar to a pink lady apple. Something probably deer started eating the fruits so I assumed it meant they were ripe. Wanted not to loose a bunch so picked them when that started to happen. Scions $3 each with a minimum of 4 scions plus applicable shipping. Will ship via small flat rate box or general priority mail package if cheaper.

Thanks! DG

Still available. The fruits aren't super large and usually have one seed. They are around the size of a medium blueberry. If a bit under ripe they have a soapy maybe gin like flavor. However when fully plump ripe and almost translucent orange they get pretty sweet and no longer soapy tasting. Really not bad when ripe. Can be pretty productive. I'm sure you could make them more bushy than mine is and get more fruits than I do. However when it gets going you might get 5-15 fruits daily ripening for a few week period. I believe it's a relative of citrus and does look like a citrus mostly. No thorns or anything. Slow to start off from seed but once 6+" tall they start to take off. Prefers mostly shade and will get yellowy if in too much light. Interesting novelty fruit. I usually snack on them when watering every few days while I'm near the plant. Produces in 2-3 years maybe quicker if you can get it to take off good.

One nice Glycomis pentaphylla seedling available at $15. Also a nice cedar bay cherry seedling at $15. Will go $25 on both seedlings as a package deal. A few Glycomis pentaphylla seeds available. $1 per seed plus applicable shipping for seeds or seedlings. Many star fruit seeds available at 5 for $1. Minimum order for seeds at $5. Hit me up!

Thanks! DG

Citrus Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: WTB Kumquat seeds.
« on: December 06, 2023, 08:51:23 AM »
Thanks D-Grower.     I will take you up on that offer!   Starting off with some meiwa seeds would be great.   My Nagami seedlings are still mostly doing well.    I had a little set back because I wasn't fertilizing them and most of their leaves were turning yellow, but I have that sorted out now.  I lost a couple of the seedlings, and most of the rest lost a few leaves but the remaining leaves greened back up and new leaves are in good shape and color.

      How old is your plant?  is this the first year of it fruiting?  I would be happy to cover postage.  Please keep me posted, and thanks!

I do have a few ripe fruits now. Its pretty cold at the moment. Seeds would likely freeze in transit this time of year.

Don't have that variety myself. I do have a grafted nagami and meiwa tree. Fruit on them now. Could probably send you seeds if you like soon. I've noticed meiwa seeds don't like to sprout well but occasionally one will pop up. Not sure why they are like that for me anyway.

Citrus Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: ISO: Meiwa Kumquat Cuttings - Florida
« on: November 27, 2023, 08:50:30 AM »
I have a small meiwa kumquat I might be able to take cuttings off eventually. Still holding fruit now so probably not the greatest time to take any on top of it being small. If I can make it to my buddies place sometime soon he has some large ones I can cut from. Probably loaded with fruit too though right now.

It seems I'm outside your project zone by a huge distance but I'd be interested in helping develop more cold hardy variety. Not as much as in propagation of existing cultivars but in the breeding of new varieties. My current goal is to amass as many cold tolerate types as possible and cross pollinate them and grow out the seeds and test for cold hardiness and fruit quality. It's a long term endeavor no doubts. I intend to breed more southern apple varieties too.

As far as zone maps go I'm considered 9A but in the last 6 years I've had winter lows as far down as 15F. That's a solid 8B on some of our winter seasons. Cold wise I think I should qualify for your project. Obviously I wouldn't be able to come get trees but we could share seeds and scions. I don't see fantastic in your list but it may also be under one of the other names. If you need scions for that variety I can send some whenever but figure early spring is best. I can also get brogdon scions too. Also have a Stewart seedling growing I could send scions from though it hasn't fruited yet. Only 3 or so years old. Have a few Wilma seedlings as well but are too young to cut from yet. If I'm not mistaken Wilma is Brazos Belle under another name. Could be wrong however these are seedlings anyways and not clones. There's a member here that once sent me cold hardy scions but cannot remember whom for sure but pretty sure their member name is Taylor something. From Arizona that I know for sure. I did get some successful grafts but unfortunately I moved the trees from up under the edge of my porch into full sun and burnt the leaves badly and then they couldn't recover. So success at first but then a complete fail from my bad. Stuff happens I guess.

My buddy uses Graco fertilizer at his nursery. Seems to work good. I really wouldn't want to use it personally but if you need too its worth a try. Osmocote I've heard works great too.

Special offer on bulk seed quantities. Small quantities remain same price. 100 seeds for $15 which is $5 discount over the proportional price. 200 seeds for $25 which is $10 off proportional price. 300 seeds is $45 for a $15 proportional discount plus free shipping on 300 seeds only. All seed sales under 300 seeds include applicable shipping costs. Great price for anyone wanting to grow out for grafting or just sale of seedling trees. My dad is considering doing some air layers off the mother trees if there would be interest in mature trees. I'd do it if I weren't an 8 hour drive from the trees I planted in his yard many years ago. Trees are likely worth becoming named cultivars due to good fruits and heavy production. I grew them from seeds originally myself around 13 years ago. Fruited for the first time around 4 years of age. 3 individuals in total. My dad says one particularly produces in greater abundance or so it appears. They produce many large fruits but also many smaller ones at the same time. Its been many years since I've got to observe the trees myself to pass judgements on each tree's particular qualities. Seeds are from a mix of fruits from all three trees. They flower and fruit more than once a year. He obviously just picked a ton for me this past week but next time they get loaded up with fruits I'll see if I can get fresh pics of them bearing.

As far as I know there was no such tree named Texas persimmon. There are currently more than 2000 different types of persimmon trees. Most of edible Persimmon type came from Asia (China, Japan). Persimmon trees we usually purchased in the US are grafted on Native Persimmon (Virginiana persimmon). There are some hybrid types between American and Asian persimmon which offer good taste, but the native persimmon was absolutely horrible and its fruits were used to cattles like horse, cow...

American persimmon fruits are really good you just need to know when they are ready to eat. When they fall freely from the tree and are squishy to the point you'd think they are too far gone is when they are actually ready to eat. They will loose all astringency and be really sweet and good. I'm sure some trees produce fruit lessly good than others but in my experience most are pretty good when fully ripe.

I have some seeds available. Already being stratified.
