Taiwan has zero fuzz on the underside of the leaf so it’s definitely Edulis.

Amazing offer, PM sent. Is Taiwan C. tetrameria?

Thank you for confirming, I'm hoping some of these later fruiting varieties in CA may behave similarly here in FL and fruit later.

I also just received a prompt package of scions through Jonah. A good deal.

Unsure if you're still offering the white sapote scions? Looking for smaller size ~1/4" diameter. I grafted the scions you sent last week and they're already pushing new growth. Thank you!

I'd like to get one of each on the smaller side. I have a few seedlings that are six months old or so...
I would like to be the Eugenia King of New Orleans and spread tropical fruit throughout the city starting in the 9th Ward. I'm especially interested in guava and eugenia from around the world and in breeding new varieties by chance, coincidence, and accident.

I'm interested.  Still available?    PM sent. 

Haven't had good grafting take with WS, have read they are beginner-level easy.  I've used mainly cleft grafts.  Appreciate any advice!

I have always had good success with cleft grafts of any size.
I always wrap the scions with Parafilm or Buddy tape and keep them shaded as much as possible :)

I used cleft graft wrapped in parafilm. Taiwan is especially vigorous, it's put out about 3" of new growth since being grafted 2 weeks ago (pic below). Lemon Gold is just starting to leaf out.

Scions arrived in great shape despite USPS taking them on an extended tour of the southeast. White sapote seems quite hardy. Thanks again!

The scions I received arrived in a timely manner, in GREAT shape (thanks for the extras), and are already breaking the buddy tape.
Thanks again!

Do you remove the parafilm or buddy tape after a certain amount of time? Or let it fall off naturally?

All are growing really well but a few are showing black spots under the parafilm (probably moisture got in). I'd hate to lose them to mold or girdling...or removing the parafilm too soon. 

I have always had good success with cleft grafts of any size.

I usually just let it fall off naturally or remove it well after the graft union has healed and pushed a good amount of growth.

Ok, then I will need to order some from you again. I lost most of my varieties when I had to dig up the larger seedling tree from my son's yard and the tree did not survive the transplant.

I still have about 20 varieties on my trees.

That's amazing you have so many grafted on one tree.

Thanks for the info Bush2Beach. It's been 2 months since grafting the first batch and hopefully they're fully healed. 100% success rate so far :) Thanks again!
