I'm surprised the RDPs haven't fruited for you at 5yrs old..

Yes. I thought 1500.00 for a week in the Amazon with all room, food, and board and transportation including airfare and a couple side excursions along with the company of two South American fruit experts and a novice(me) along with 4 local guided jungle hikes and an interpreter and all the Amazon fruit you can eat would be enough. Guess not.
Will not be offering fruit tour expeditions.
Whatever the case, well done!
...and, put me on the scions list, LOL!
If you keep that fruit, those seeds should definitely be grown out.
Wow! Congratulations on your jabo, that is so exciting! Will be fun to see how it develops. So cool to see the growth you're getting on your red and grimal grown hydroponically.

Super fantastic! Do you think it is your methodology or the genetics?
Cut that silly fruit off and grow that tree out a bit more. Start grafting it out on some sabara rootstock, give it a name like “aberration” or “abnormality”, make a few videos, then rake in that sweet $$$$.
Seriously though, it would be a shame to lose the genetic lottery because the plant died trying to hold one fruit at a mere 22 months.
I have visited a couple big jabo growers/sellers and thought finally I will
figure out what I am doing wrong. Their trees looked like mine or worse.
Look at the trees being sold on Ebay by some reputable sellers and you
see the same leaves. I have switched allot of things around and not seen
a big difference. My older trees are producing more and more fruit and seem
happy. The new growth especially in the Spring is very clean and for the most
part the older leaves have the burnt tips. I have used Epsoma holly tone, cricket
frass, rabbit manure, cottonseed meal all for fertilizer. I also add sulphur pellets
monthly to lower PH.
Anyone one growing pereskia species? I have no idea on fruit quality…
Someone gifted me a cutting and it’s pretty cool to see a cactus with leaves lol.
Would these be shipping from Hong Kong?
Those look certainly different from the Mexican Cream that I have which make much larger fruit.
.... but, perhaps there are more than one variety of Mexican Cream
Looks like mosaic virus imoThanks for warning me that it's a virus! I was unaware and better toss this one out then so it does not infect the rest of my plants.
Great selection. What is the secret with getting that beach sugar apple a good size? Some of you guys are wizards.
Mine is basically doing nothing here in California.
Hilo Farmer's Market can be horrible. They know the tourists won't try the fruit till they get back to their hotel and realize they. Lying to me telling me the durian is musang king when it's just monthong. Selling unripe marang as pedalai.
Selling stolen fruit in some cases.
I'd buy the vegetables and common fruits...but when it gets to the pricier/higher regarded stuff, know what you're looking at.
Edulis, unknown cultivar
Hey Scott,
I haven't grafted Lucuma but I've talked to Ben Porier, another SoCal CRFG member, and Reedo on the forum (who has given me a grafted plant he succeded with).
Ben mentioned that you have to wait until you start to see buds forming and getting ready to push before selecting the scion for grafting. I also heard this from that other SoCal CRFG member. Reedo grafted them in mid-late summer and was successful with about 3 out of 5 plants (I think). He cleft grafted these plants and tried to do a side graft as well but that did not take. I'm probably going to try and attempt some grafts this spring/early summer and see how it goes. I've got an airlayered plant and a seedling that started flowering.
Have a good one Scott!
Mamey is just horrible rootstock for CA.
It’s a dis service to for nurseries import these from FL and sell them here in CA. They suck.
There are green sapote ( cholul) seedlings going around and seeds to be had.
I got on the bandwagon and sent a bunch of seeds out they will probably be around soon before too long.
I have a seedling tree holding a bunch of little fruits in Nor Cal. They dropped last winter , maybe this year is the year they hold.
