Tropical Fruit Discussion / Diospyros descandra Golden Apple cây thị
« on: March 06, 2021, 08:07:05 PM »
I just had this tree identified recently and looked through most of what I could easily find on the internet about it. It seems to be pretty common in Vietnam and Thailand. Does anyone have any growing experiences with this? Is it monoecious? Taste reports?

Fresh Guillermo Ilama seeds for sale. Grown in Sarasota, FL.

$3 per seed. $4 for shipping in a padded mailer with tracking. USA only.

Please research how to grow these. Some have sprouted fresh for me before. Some I have used ga3. Some I have stored for 1-2 years. I think this fruit is massively underutilized.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / SOLD OUT Abiu Pouteria caimito seeds Florida USA
« on: September 28, 2020, 02:11:59 PM »
Sold Out. Thank you. I'll repost when I get some more fruit. Multiples seasons per year.

Fresh Florida grown Abiu seeds. $3 ea. $4 shipping in a padded mailer with tracking. USA only.

Decent flavor and super productive. Could possibly be crossed with other slightly better tasting less productive types since the tree has 5 different grafts on it. This is a seedling I bought from Zill's years ago.



PM me and I'll send my paypal info.

I'll be back on Tropical Fruit Forum a bit more. I took a much needed break from most social media, excessive phone use and whatnot outside of a couple dedicated projects. Thanks for looking.  - Josh

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Annona spraguei, Dream annona, and Vinho Tinto seedling Annona reticulata scions
« on: February 20, 2020, 12:48:13 PM »
I am pruning soon. USA only. 2 scion minimum order. Mix how you like.

$4 per scion. $4 shipping.

Dream
Vinho Tinto Seedling
Annona spraguei

Sent in padded envelope with tracking. All scions will be wrapped in Buddy Tape.

The Vinho Tinto seedling hasn't fruited yet because it never gets hand pollination at it's location. Nice healthy tree that flowers heavily and is fully mature. Looks like reticulataish but probably a natural hybrid with squamosa. Search for more info. One thread is here. http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=13472.75

Dream is the best tasting Annona I have grown.

Annona spraguei has fruited. I don't know of a compatible rootstock but scions are for sale. More info here. http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=35410.msg371260#msg371260

Message me for paypal info.

EDIT: All scions will be wrapped in Buddy Tape.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Best tasting Mexican race avocado cultivars
« on: January 13, 2020, 01:56:28 PM »
What are the tastiest cultivars? Stewart/Mexicola/Mexicola Grande? I have a Bacon here which I like but is that a true Mexican avo? I remember hearing reports that the more common cold hardy avocados don't taste very good like Opal, Gainesville and Joey and whatnot. I don't need the cold hardiness, I am just interested in interesting flavors and flowering.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Inga edulis set fruit in Sarasota, FL
« on: January 04, 2020, 11:11:39 AM »
Just saw my first fruit set on my real deal Inga edulis tree. Has anyone seen Inga edulis fruiting in Florida before? I was hoping for my gold medal if I can get it to mature.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Lecythis in Florida
« on: December 11, 2019, 02:13:28 AM »
I have been wanting to grow Lecythis species for quite a while and I saw that Fruit and Spice had a Lecythis pisonis recently planted out.  I think John Painter mentioned he either fruited it or still has a fruiting tree but I could be wrong. Anyone growing any of these in Florida. This video with Paul Recher mentions that they are surprisingly hardy.

https://youtu.be/k3SGgLSOYu4

Another thing that I was curious about was the studies on the selenium content and the poisoning from eating too many. I am guessing the study happened in it's native range and I wonder if the nuts grown somewhere else without excess selenium in the soil would have lower amount to allow for safely eating a lot more.

« on: November 14, 2019, 04:00:09 PM »
Does anyone have any info on this. I had a graft take and just pulled an air layer off of a friends tree. Maurice Kong has been propagating these. The only info my friend has is that the fruit is supposed to be resistant to pests.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Annona spraguei fruiting in Sarasota, Fl
« on: November 05, 2019, 02:11:47 PM »
I got my first fruit yesterday. This is the second fruiting in the USA that I know of. Steve from Fruitscapes on Pine Island was the first a few months back. Both of our trees came from the same seed batch that the late great Ray Jones germinated.

The fruit was mildly sweet and very seedy. It was fully tree ripened and eaten within hours of picking. The flavor was reminiscent of Rollinia. Definitely edible. Nothing objectionable flavor wise. This is an unimproved wild fruit and a collector item. The tree is absolutely gorgeous with giant pubescent leaves.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / SOLD OUT Thank you all. Ilama Annona macroprophyllata diversifolia 'Guillermo'
« on: August 11, 2019, 01:29:37 PM »
SOLD OUT

Fresh seeds from a self pollinated grafted Guillermo Ilama.

$2 each seed plus $3.50 shipping. Will ship in vermiculite in a padded envelope with tracking. USA only.

Just finished eating this one. The fruit just before this one was almost two pounds but dropped while I was out of town. Tastes kind of like a berry yogurt. Not over the top sweet like the atemoya or squamosa. I eagerly devoured this entire fruit in minutes.

PM me for my paypal address.

Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Eugenia luschnathiana seeds Pitomba
« on: May 02, 2019, 10:14:29 AM »
I have some more seed available. Fresh fruit picked today and some more on the tree. Message me if you are interested.

Pitomba Eugenia luschnathiana seeds

Just harvested.

$2 per seed. $4 shipping with tracking in a padded envelope.

USA only.

These are really good. They remind me of apricots. I think this is a better strain then some others since I have tasted bad ones and other people have bad taste reports. I have branches from another tree from the same seed batch grafted onto this and they taste the same so they should be similar high quality.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Crystal Guava When to pick?
« on: March 20, 2019, 01:02:05 PM »
The Crystal Seedless scions I got from xshen are starting to fruit. Most of the pictures I can find show somewhat small fruit. I feel like this needs to get a little larger. When is the optimal time to pick? Thanks.
