Your favorite tree fruits?
Comments (97)apricots, cherries, raspberries grandparents used to have several shrub trees that produced the best tangerines ever, with very loose skin that easily came right off, virtually no seeds inside, and very fragrant and flavorful, nothing like the tangerines sold in stores. Imagine the best tasting orange but in a form you could easily snack on and keep popping into your mouth, that's kind of what these tangerines were like. favorite tropical fruit is probably longan (a relative of lychee) a freshly broken open young coconut is also good, but I do not think I would ever want to grow them myself, I'm not a big fan of palms trees in general I love other fruit, but I usually like eating it in processed forms, for example apple sauce or Valencia orange juice, or baked plum deserts, so I think it makes more sense to grow the fruit you like to eat whole fresh off the tree....See MoreRed Baron and Belle of Georgia are ripening
Comments (6)Man Tony...your stuff is amazing. What on Earth do you spray to get such beautiful peaches? My family had a nice Belle of Georgia at our summer cottage in West Virginia along the south Branch of the Potomac. We had a very nice tree in the front yard until a beaver chewed it off drug it down over the bank to the rivers edge and then just left it. It was almost comical how infuriated my Dad was, but he liked the beavers too....See Moreare these fruit trees viable in Pennsylvania?
Comments (31)I am going by the peach bible, Peaches of New York, for the origin of Indian Free. Here is what it states: Indian Blood Freestone. 3. Am. Pom. Soc, Cat. 28. 1873. 4. Ga. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 25. 1876. Blood Free was probably raised by John M. Ives, Salem, Massachusetts, and is distinct from Blood Cling in having its stone free. The American Pomological Society placed the variety in its list of fruits in 1873 as Indian Blood Freestone but in 1897 shortened the name to Blood Free. Tree vigorous, hardy; fruit of medium size, compressed; apex roundish; skin greenish-white overspread with splashes and stripes of dark red; flesh blood-red throughout, juicy, coarse, tough and meaty; quality fair; stone free; season very late. This description (besides the fair rating) seems accurate, in particular the "very late". This description is also quoted in the ARS system which likely has the Indian Free that nurseries are propagating today. I looked at that Texas bulletin and it stated mid August which seems too early. So, I think the Indian Free of today is this same peach with reasonably high probability. There were many red-fleshed peaches floating around the US so there always could have been a mix-up somewhere over the years. Scott...See MoreTrade: Scion Wood, Hardwood Cuttings, and Fig Exchange.
Comments (45)I have access to a pomegranate that does well in AZ at 4500 ft. Winters get to 20s and maybe a few nights colder. Plant has leafed out. Can send if you send mailer with postage or if you want special priority from post office send enough for me to buy one of those mailer boxes. I have just started to root cutting for myself. Or I can try to make more cuttings and you can contact me in the fall. It is possible we have emailed before. Variety is unknown, dates from 1920s or 1930s and is lighter pink and sweet....See MoreScott F Smith
