Comments (11)Marcello: Woaw, that santol plant is georgeus, wish I have one, did you get seeds from ecuador? chandlee, bryan? T. cacao is not all that fussy, in here there´s one 7 feet tall plant fruiting very well (semi-desertic place). Perhaps will try cupuassu and see how it does go. Marcello: those pods next to the cupuassu capsule are from what tree (I see some small and a very big one pod in that bowl)? I believe those ones grow like weed in here, but don´t know their scientific names. Thanks...See MoreGrowing potted Mango/other tropicals in non tropical climates
Comments (19)These are the Manila mango fruits from June of 2006,and just starting to going through it's first flushes after the winter of 06. These might be the worst photos I took!..but with thousands of images..These are the ones I memorized where and in what file. The others if I run across are of flowering,pea sized fruit and ripe cut open fruit of a 9',then 5 year old potted tree. Potted up by me after a few years in an extra SANDY soil like it came in. I curse the winter of 2007. btw, A second Manila was thriving and growing fast in a pot...did well for a short time in ground,went through a winter fine...then in late spring of 08..died Just shriveled up. Could have been root virus or Gophers....See MoreTropical Fruit Forum Meet and Greet
Comments (74)Jeff Hagen is an international man of mystery and a tropical fruits genius all at the same time. He even buys books on how to prune big ol mango trees right at the hip notch. He knows how to graft little sprigs (not kidding here) and big branches due to practice practice practice, the same way you get to Carnegie Hall (old joke) He lives in the same humble burg as me (Tamarac Fl) but cannot devote the time he wishes he could to tropical fruits because he is busy coding coding coding as in writing computer code, to earn his family's daily bread. He is married to Elsy who is his equal in tropical fruits. They both tend to their mini-nursery and mini-grove with five large mango trees, canistel, lychee, big joboticaba tree, persimmons, lemon drop mangosteen, carambola, jackfruit, muchos papaya and banana and plantain which are so weed like invasive and easy to grow. Lots more stuff like Cherimoya and Sugar Apple but.... I have bought mango trees from Jeff so I am not impartial. Jeff would not write this so I did My knowledge of tropical fruits took a quantum leap when I met Elsy and Jeff last summer and bought a Nam Doc Mai and Pim Sen Mun that Jeff grafted...See Morejac12358
