Tropical Fruit Forum - International Tropical Fruit Growers

Hi,

I am looking for seeds of Averrhoa carambola and Vasconcellea species. Does anyone have any available and are willing to ship abroad?

Also looking for spiny longan (dimocarpus longan subsp malesianus var echinatus) or similar longan subspecies.

Cheers.

Hi to all,

My young guava tree has been fully defoliated for about a month now, and is experiencing die-back from the top down. Interestingly, there is new growth appearing from the bottom and middle sections of the trunk. I would like some advice as to how I can stop it from continuing to die-back. The days have averaged approximately 16 - 17 C for the past month and has been watered only when the top soil has been dry.

Thanks.

PS. Moisture is 5.5 and pH about 6.8 according to the pictures.

I have a collection of vasconcellea, when they fruit I will sell the seeds.

Fantastic! Please keep me in mind when you do decide to sell. Thanks

Do you sell seeds?

Bump.

Do you have seeds available of other Vasconcellea species?

Hi, do you have seed of other Vasconcellea species?

Hello,

I am looking to source seeds from different starfruit varieties, particularly those of Giant Siam, Kari and Fwang Tung. I am aware that the seeds probably won't grow entirely true to type.

Thanks all.

Hello all,

These white specks have begun to appear on the leaves of my young starfruit plant. This started approximately 1 week ago and it doesn't appear problematic for the plant, yet. Does anyone here have any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Very difficult :/

Hi, I am looking to buy some seeds of Vasconcellea monoica, parviflora and or stipulata.

Hello, everyone,

My Longan here isn't looking so great. I am from Auckland, New Zealand, which is approximately USDA zone 9b. We entered spring in September. During the winter from June - August, the plant was subjected to average lows of 11C, with extreme lows at around 4C. It has been protected under the eaves of the house since May, and during winter it received approximately 3-4 hours of direct sunlight. I watered it very infrequently during the winter (deep water once every 2-3 weeks) months. However, since late August it began showing signs of brown-tipping on the leaves. I am wondering, what issue might be causing this? I haven't fertilized at all, and I have watered it with rainwater with a few waterings of a natural seaweed mixture added in. Its watering has been controlled, with no natural precipitation affecting the plant. Cheers

Will it also do okay in subtropical climates?
