The biggest downside of the fruit is the size. The peeling doesn't bother me as much as the ratio of fruit to pith and membrane. The fruit cannot be consumed one segment at a time, it has to be eaten by popping the whole thing in your mouth and enjoying it.
For me, the small fruit size of Kishu is not an issue since they are effortless to peel. Very loose skin. You can easily snack on them.

I don't know what you mean when you say they cannot be consumed one segment at a time. I usually eat them one segment at a time. They are not difficult to separate. The segments are very small though so maybe it is just your finger size. Definitely would not be difficult for a child to eat.
Of course the fruit can be separated, im saying it shouldnt be for the best eating experience imo.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Question on Kishu mandarins
« on: December 11, 2020, 10:47:08 PM »
I have had a kishu mandarin for 5 or six years, the very first crop was horrible. Every other year has been good to great. This year i have been picking them since early November. The crop was high acid not much sweetness. Once the nights started getting colder the sweetness was increased. Right now the kishus are really good. They have high sweetness with a hint of acid. I started measuring the sweetness
last week and its ranged from 13-17brix with an average being 15. The fruits flavor varies widely depending on the stage of ripeness and how exposed the fruit is to the sun/elements. I ate 7-10 fruits today from different parts of the tree. The flavors range from a straight mild sweet sour flavor, rich pure sweetness, rich sweet and sour Mandarin flavor, and creamsicle flavor.

Thanks for the responses hockey and johnny. I was hoping that early planting would allow for root development, which would allow the tree to flush out immediately. But it seems the wiser move is to keep it in its pot waiting for warmer weather.

Is it a good time to plant a mango tree right now? I usually wait until spring but im wondering if getting it in ground earlier will allow for the roots to develop before the first growth spurt in spring.

Also what is the lower limit of temp that a newly planted mango tree withstand?

Thanks.

Looking for them in 3 gallons in the sgv/LA county. Prefer fino de Jete but willing to consider the other varieties mentioned or other more rare cherimoyas (of equal quality). Thanks.

Edit: Variety was found in the cal poly nursery

Citrus General Discussion / Looking to expand citrus collection
« on: September 10, 2020, 11:40:49 AM »
Well not my citrus collection, a friend who asked me to help choose 5 varieties.

He sent me a list of what he currently has:

Kishu
Shasta gold
Gold nugget
Leexnova
Bearss lime
Washington navel
Cara cara
Shiranui
Clemenules
Boukhabza
Midknight
Ortanique
Lane late navel
Xie shan
Okitsu wase

Looking for a lemon to use in marinating meat or to be paired with food. Bearss lime is a beast but lemons are more year round. The obvious choices are improved meyer lemon, Lisbon, and eureka. Not sure if meyer lemon would work as some describe it as sweet.

For the rest of the choices mandarin and their hybrids as well as oranges. Looking for flavor, uniqueness, and productivity. Secondary desirable characteristics include extended harvest season and season “non-peak” citrus season (may-october).

Thanks.

I checked-out Mike's recommended KISHU and they had it at Bright Leaf Citrus... looked interesting so I ordered one!
Nice price... $25 with $15 shipping.
The stuff you learn on this forum... Thanks!

Kevin Jones

I wouldnt call a kishu a clementine mandarin, but it is very good. The fruit is ping pong sizes but extremely easy to peel which makes eating three or four very easy.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Which fruit trees are fairly safe to plant by a wall in southern california?
« on: July 07, 2020, 01:15:23 AM »
I have a kishu mandarin growing 18” from a cinderblock wall. Its been there for 5 years. Its made it through a couple brutal heatwaves including the one in 2018 where it got to 115.

Tried apples along the same wall and they really struggled.

I planted a fig this spring and its growing well but it hasn't experienced a hot summer.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: When to uncover mango grafts.
« on: July 03, 2020, 03:03:01 PM »


This is a parsons mango graft pushing



This is fruit punch. The buds are more swollen than they were last week.




this is lemon zest looking like it will start pushing soon.





This is another lemon zest thats a little further along.


All grafts were done on june 12. The rest are still green but no signs off growth. Should i be concerned of the other grafts or is it normal for grafts to take longer than 3 weeks to begin pushing? Thanks.

I ended up removing the foil yesterday. This was done because the weather was 75f overcast and today will be 78f overcast. Then a slow ramp up to 95f by next sunday. Hoping the grafts will be acclimated to the sun by then.

Would it be a safer bet to rewrap in foil or just let them be?

Thanks.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / When to uncover mango grafts.
« on: June 28, 2020, 01:52:09 PM »
On June 12, 2020 i grafted mango scions. I did 5 trees in 3 gallon pots which i stuck under a tree to keep direct sunlight off of them. The 8 remaining grafts were done on in ground trees. I covered the grafts with aluminum foil to keep the sun off them. All grafts are still alive with a couple actively pushing and some with increasingly swollen buds. Im wondering when can i remove the aluminum foil.? I want to remove it before the real summer heat kicks in but dont want to do it too early resulting in failure. Thanks.

Check weather reports. If its going to be too hot maybe some sort of shade protection might be warranted.

That's what I was thinking... I'll probably end up doing that.

I guess I'm going to have to rethink my order, and plan it better, then...

If i were you i would insure against the future availability (or lack of availability) of budwood. I think JF is relocating away from the US so this is probably the last time he will be selling mango budwood. Might be a good idea to get budwood and get your own budwood stock growing. I’ve put in my order with him because I like getting good quality local (more fresh) budwood. The less time budwood spends in transit, the better. I wish him the best on his relocation. I hope he keeps sharing knowledge and experience on this forum. But his mango, annona, and guava cuttings are definitely going to be missed.

Question:  Does it ever make sense to graft the same cultivar onto the same rootstock multiple times?

Yes. Especially if you are not a proficient grafter (like me). Then you want multiple chances of getting one take. Also, i think simon advices people to let the rootstock grow several years and then graft multiple shoots in order to have a full tree of the chosen variety.

If you are close to cal poly they sell small palora dragon fruit plants for a reasonable price($7). They have curbside pick up on the smaller plants(you order online and they email you when they are available for pick up). I cant remember if they had larger palora plants in stock right now. I did email the nursery manager and got a very fast response.

I know that Laguna Hills Nursery also sells Cherimoya. I'm not sure if they have the specific varieties you are looking for though.


I called laguna hills. No luck. I think they had fino but ive called so many places that im not sure what they actually have only that they didnt have what i was looking for.

Call Mimosa LA. Last year they had El Bumpo, Fino de Jete, and Orton. Orton is a prolific producer and the fruit is delicious! It was only $35 for a five gallon cherimoya.

I went to mimosa in LA and the one in rosemead they had orton and fino de jete but none of the ones i was looking for.

The one in the circle looks like an atemoya.  In SoCal, they are available but not as abundant.  I still have one on my tree waiting for picking.  I visit a nursery specialize in atemoya.  They have plenty of plants with fruits.  I believe they will harvest them all soon to get the plant ready for flowerings except a few for show and tell.

Curious to know what nursery. Thanks.

looks like a mixed bloom.
Those little nodes near the leaf axil should become flowers

Thanks. After watching a couple videos on truly tropical youtube channel dedicated to mixed bloom im inclined to say you are right. Its very surprising that there are very little high resolution pictures on the stages of mango bloom and even less on mixed bloom. Thanks.

Seems like my sweet tart mango is also waking up. Do panicle development and vegetative growth look the same when beginning to grow? Im trying to figure out if the tree is going to flower for the first time or if its just regular growth?

Edit: here are some pics. To me it looks like normal growth but im not sure if at this point vegetative growth vs panicle development would look different.







This is how it looks like ten days later.


Is this panicle development or typical growth?
