November Update of Tropical Fruit Trees

ch3rri
14 years ago

This is an exciting year as many of my trees are doing very well. I might get to eat some of the fruits this December.

I think the Priestly Atemoya I got from Top is actually Lisa. Discovered a piece of plastic that say Lisa on it when I water the tree. Another sign is that the fruit are kind of pinkish on the skin. It would be suck if this is the Lisa since I ordered another Lisa from Pine a couple months ago.

Check out my blog for more pictures.

    Thanks, Jsvand5.....now that I see it cut open, I thought it looked more familiar. There is a long story behind the 48-26. I bought one the year it was released by Zill High Performance Plants. That was back in the mid 90's. I originally heard about it from Har Mahdeem. He grew up in the Amazon region of Brazil and was the resident annona expert conducting the breeding program for Zill's. Anyway, apparently, the 48-26 was the best of the breeding up to that time in the program and Gary Zill wanted to release it to the public for sale. Har apparently thought that it should be used for another generation of breeding before it was released, as it wasn't quite up to his expectations. Gary Zill won out and it was put into production. It was supposedly a tree that you'd have to watch as it could fruit itself to death if the fruit set wasn't thinned. I bought one. The tree grew huge. It almost never fruited. When it did fruit, the fruit were mis-shaped as the result of what I assumed was poor pollination. People kept telling me how great the 48-26 was....and I kept wondering why mine was not good. Finally, at the Broward Rare Fruit Council meeting a month or two ago......the speaker was Har Mahdeem. He's no longer with Zill. I asked him about my ill-fated 48-26. He explained that they apparently had some sort of compatibility issue with the root stock that was used to do the grafting. Apparently, since each rootstock was a seedling and therefore a unique individual, many of the trees had the same problem mine had. He said almost half produced poorly or not at all. The other half produced beautifully as you see in the pictures posted by Ch3rri. My tree eventually blew over and died in one of the Hurricanes. It was no great loss in my yard...but if it had fruited like Ch3rri's I would have been very upset.

    Give Don Chafin a call at Going Bananas.....I am not sure they will ship, but I think they still have lychee trees for sale.

    That's a sad story. I do think 48-26 is not all that compared to the other. I just know I ate some white one and it was chewy and delicious. Maybe this variety was overrated? I was lucky to find some atemoya in Beijing. It was great...big, sweet, chewy, juicy. I really want to get the gefner. Heard it's a great variety. But darn...now I have two 48-26. Maybe Pine sent me a wrong one that is not 48-26?...LOL. Will find out once it fruit...:)

    As you can see...I really did some fruit hunting when I was in China...lol. That was the best part...eating all the mangosteen. I think I bought over 10 lbs.

    lol...the green is the vietnamese apple. It's sort of like the jujube but it will not turn red. It's very good. I smuggle some of the seeds back...hehehe. The purple fruit is the passion fruit. It was so sour! Will not eat that one again...lol. We got a whole durian and they cut it up for us and packed in containers...since we stayed in a hotel...lol. It was nice but not that sweet. I like the Thailand variety better...sweet and creamy. Oh, those mangoes bruise so easily compared to the one we have in US. The dagron fruit was very sweet too. The best was the mangosteen!

    Thanks for that info hmhousman, I remember when the 48-26 was released hearing the different views as to the readiness for its release from Santol who once had a web site out of Florida. I still have it as one of the varieties that i would like to try here.
    I wonder if additional rootstocks would be a remedy for the incompatibility problem?
    Looking good Ch3rri, keep up the good work.

    Ch3rri,
    Thats dissapointing to hear that the passion fruit was sour. I wonder if it was ripe when picked? Maybe it just wasnot a sweet variety? I hve had this fuit in Puerto Rico. I picked it right from the vine and it was sweet and tart all together. That was the main appeal for me. I love that combination. I am hoping that some of my mango varieties will be like that. How were the mangoes in China?
    Have you had any dragonfruit from your vines yet?

    hehehe...the mangoes from China was okay..not as good as the one here. The champgne mango here are much tastier. As for my dragon fruit it had a lot of flowers....but then they all dropped. It could be because of the cold weather and because i didn't really pollinate it. The yellow one almost made it to fruit..but sadly the weather killed it. So...I'll have to wait another year. Maybe if it flower early next year i can pollinate and have some fruits out of it. For now it's just big and heavy...got to move it in soon too.

    I did let the passion fruit ripe before eating. It was more sour than sweet. I do like the aroma..smelled so nice.

    Vietnamese apples are the best...better than jujube too. I got only three seeds back. Will plant it in a mini greenhouse later. :) I think Pine sell the vietnamese apple as jujube. But not sure if it's sweet or not.

    Ch3rri,
    I am surprised about the mangoes but then again it probobly depends on what is rip and when the season is. To bad about the dragon fruit, I've never even tried it before. I am too scared that if I do then I will want one of those also. Well I am glad you got to sample as much tropical fruit as you did. That is one of my favorite things to do when on a vacation. The sugar apple seedlings I have are coming along nicley. I am amazed at how much water they need right now. I water them 2 a week and they are in a 4 inch pot. I think the largest ones now are maybe three inches but that is about it. Right now I am looking for a cherimoya called Honeyheart. I would like to add this to my ever growing tropical fruit collection. i also was considering buying a pepper vine. i would like to beable to grow my own pepper and harvest it at the diffrent color stages. Your sugar apples look awesome along with your Lisa. One of these days I will have the pleasure of trying one and discovering if I like it or not and if it is gritty or not.

    Yes I also think that it's the season that affected it and the variety available weren't as good.

    Growing up in Vietnam, my family had many mango trees, some of them were excellent and some weren't as good. There was this variety we called "Indian Mango", no idea what its real name was, it was to eat while still green, very crunchy, and fragrant. The ripped fruit however tasted just about 1% as good.

    Hi ch3rri and kemistry

    What is the vietnamese name for the vietnamese apple? I would like to search this out at my vietnamese grocery store.

    Thanks.

    " I think Pine sell the vietnamese apple as jujube. But not sure if it's sweet or not."

    Cherri,
    The fruit you call is the Vietnamese apple is known as Ziziphus mauritania. Pine island has it incorrectly labled as Z. jujuba. I have one of these trees growing and right now I have a few hundred fruit on the tree. It is one of my top 5 favourite fruits. Here in Florida it is usually just referred to as jujube, indian jujube. I don't find the taste very similar to the chinese jujube (z jujuba) though. Good luck with those seeds. Let us know once the seeds germinate if they are thorny or not.

    Oh, what a hard name. I will never remember that...lol. Did you order from Pine Marahilin? I heard this tree bear fruits in 2-3 years from seed. Will have to grow from seed if I want to save some money...hehehe.

    Pepperot- I don't remember they giving a name at the grocery. Some store use the vietnamese name and have the word apple next to it. But then I bought it a few times at the market and it was not sweet. I think they picked the fruits too early. Good luck with finding it. I think only one store in Philly have it and it was not good...yet again I always buy some and get disappointed. lol

    Andrew-I still keep my sugar apple seedlings in the 4" pots even they are over 13" tall. I think I will change the pot in the spring. No more room now. The dragon fruit is very refreshing. But planting it might be a problem for you and me since we have no room for it....lol. It's hard to get it in the basement now since the arms are over the place. I will have to tide them up....hard work and pokey...OUCH!

    I did not order it from Pine Island. I got it from Excalibur. The only problem I have seen from seed is that the seedlings tend to be very very thorny. Thats why I was asking if your seedlings were thorny or not because youd be at a good start and maybe get a very good quality fruit. If you grow these seeds and would like to try grafting some I could possibly send you some budwood whenever youre ready. They seem to graft easily with a cleft graft.

    pepperot,
    I found that it is called "t ta" in Vietnamese. Thanks wikipedia.

    Ch3rri,
    I know exactly what you mean when it comes to space in your living area for trees. Imagine me living in a small three bedroom apartment. I do have the big advantage of having a good size basement but unfortunetly thats it. I only have one good windo for natural light and it is small. Rhight now that is where I have my S.A. seedlins along with the soursop. I may not even keep the soursop. i would like atemoya or cherimoya. I believe I have said this before but I also would like a dwarf guava and maybe a black pepper vine, possiblya dragonfruit? Oh oh here i go again!! I am going to be very imited inspace once I get my two mango trees. For these I can always find room! The dragonfruit I would love to try growing. I love epiphyllums anyways and I know they are in the same family. If you end up losing a piece of vine moving those monstuos vines, let me know. I would be willing to pay! I can't wait for my trees from Top. I should have them by next week and then I will get my pics all in order and be ready to post my blog page. Thanks for your help Kristi, I also owe it to Tammy. She helped me along too. I just need to organize my thoughts before I type them out. I just want it to sound good. I don't want people to think I am a lil nutty and stupid!

    Jsvand5:

    IMO.....4826 tends to be a bit watery and seedy to be compared with the best atemoyas. It is certainly better than sugar apples becuase it does not have the stone cells that cause that grainy/sandy texture. My favorite atemoya had always been Gefner. Recently, I tasted a Thai variety from Excalibur called Pakchong or Petch pakchong that I thought was quite good and compared favorably with Gefner. I have also tasted Page which was good, but not that fruitful. I am also growing Rosendo Perez....but it has never fruited for me. So I cannot comment on it. I have tasted others but cannot recall the names right now. However, none of the other were as good as the ones I mention above.

    Well now I have to go buy a gefner. I was actually going to get a gefner in the beginning, but ended up switching to the 48-26 because of good reviews. Guess I should have went with my first instinct.

    Andrew, did those red sugar apple seeds I sent ever show up?

    Harry thanks for mentioning that grainy consistency issue. I really want an atemoya but I cannot stnd the grainy texture issue. I have only ever tasted Guanabana and I fell in love with it. I realize that that fruit would be very challenging for me to grow here because of the fruit size and it is not tolerant of cold temps at all. Most of my fruits stayed out up two 2 weeks ago. The Guanabana would never have handled those cool nights. Even my Caimito continued leafing out when the evening temps were in the upper thirties. I wanted to tell you that Mr. Top just emailed me and he was challenging me to find anyone who could grow Julie mango in a pot that was not in Miami or the Carribean. Then he said indoors, I think he must have been confused or something. His tone definetly sounded irratable regarding the whole issue of me wanting to grow Julie in a pot. I believe his name was Mike. I think once he sees that I never meant that it would be indoors all year it will be fine. I guess I should have clarified what I meant to do with it. At least now I will get the mango I wanted and not the one Mike recommended.
    Jsvand-I thought I emailed you but yes I got the seeds a while ago. Thank you so much. I have not planted them yet. I still have several sugar apple seedlings that need to be moved up to four inch containers. I have quenepa seedlings that need to be repotted along with a few soursops too. Thanks again.
    Harry, do you have any atemoya reccomendations? I know you picked up two at that tree sale awhile back. I doubt I can find those. I wont be shopping again till next summer, and maybe not even then. I really would like the cherimoya Honeyheart, have you tried this before?

    Andrew, don't do it if you don't have room...lol. The dragon fruit will grow crazy. And it will not fruit unless it's over 40lbs or something like that. You can see mine is in a 25 gallon pot and it only flowered...after a couple years...lol. But if you have room for an arm then we can do that in spring...hehehe..but I think mine will never fruit..lol. I think I have the weird one. I got it on ebay a couple years ago. Andrew, are you moving to a larger house? lol

    I do agree with Harry that the 48-26 is more seedy and watery than the other. Now I want to get the gefner!

    I just bought a Honeyheart Cherimoya a few weeks ago. Spent a ridiculous amount of money getting one from ebay. I am going to try to graft a few onto some small seelings I have in the spring. I also bought a "pierce" cherimoya. Both are supposed to be some of the best. If a few of my grafts take I may have some available in the summer. You might want to just order a seedling from ebay though. They are much cheaper than the grafted ones and from what I here they are pretty true to type and fruit almost as fast as grafted ones.

    Jsvand thanks for the offer. I know I am not buying anthing more until the summer. I did look into Ebay and was pleasantly surprised. They have Honey heart in a 1 gallon pot for 35.00. I thimk that is pretty good considering the next size up is a 5 gallon pot for $135.00. I never have paid that much for a fruit and never will! Well....maybe a Champagne mango tree..lol! Keep us informed of your grafting. I think that grafting is exciting. Your possibilities are endless. Good luck!

    Andrew:
    I gave my atemoya reccomendations in a post earlier in this thread. Unfortuantely, I can be of no help with regard to Cherimoyas. I have only had ones bought in the store. They have not been very good. They were somewhat woody and not very flavorful or sweet. I have no idea what type they were, but I attributed their poor texture and taste to being picked too early. I almost bought some from a grower in California. He was asking a fortune and decided, at the last minute, not to order.

    As far as growing Cherimoyas here in Florida, supposedly they don't do well. I had a seedling a few years back that got to be about 6 feet tall. It died in one of our floods, never having flowered or fruited. I have not heard that they grow true to seed. Commercially, I believe they are all grafted. I also hear that here in Florida we do not have the pollenator that ocurs naturally whereever they grow naturally. Again, this is anecdotal......I have no personal experience. Good luck with trying them!

    I have to agree with Harry on the cherimoya. I bought it a couple times at the supermarket and it doesn't have any taste to it. I let it ripe before eating too. It was just soft and maybe smooth. But what's good if it have no taste. I like it sweet but it was no where near it. I also heard the tree will get pretty big too. So hopefully you get to taste it before you plan to buy one.

    Pepperot- your translation of vietnamese apple is very funny. I thought the vietnamese just call it tao....lol

    Lol ch3rri, I think it's just to distinguish between the variety in vietnamese.
    So, commonly it is ta'o ta (ours) for the vietnamese apples, and ta'o ta^y (western) for the big apples that are common here.

    Of the tropical fruits, I like lychees for fragrance, mangoes for the sweet taste and coconuts for total package of awesomeness.. hehe.

Can someone describe how a good rambutan is supposed to taste :) Finally got to taste good mangosteen over summer and it is as great as everyone says it is. Wonder why they call it longan rambutan.

    The funniest Vietnamese fruit name is the name they have for the star apple. I don't think I ever would of thought of describing a star apple like that.

    Ch3rri,
    I love the fruit pics. I still dont understand how people like durian. Its like a rotten onion custard taste that doesnt leave your mouth. Does it taste that way to you too?

    What is longan rambutan? Any pics of it?

    Pulasan is my favourite out of all that group of fruits (lychee, longan, rambutan, etc.)

    The picture above show the longan rambutan. It's called longan rambutan because it have the crispness of longan, sweet and the size is also small like the longan. I think for those reasons it's called longan rambutan. Another reason is the meat never stick to the seed. The seed is small as well. I think these are the best one since every single one is sweet without any sour in it...just like the longan. The longan rambutan skin is somewhat yellow and red...just like the one in the basket above.

    The durian is good only if you can find a good one. Not all of the durian taste bad. But I do agree they smell bad for the fresh fruit...lol. I actually learn to like the durian vacuumed chips. Somehow the durian smell better for flavoring than in the fresh fruit. Hehehe...we always crack a joke of who farted when we open the durian....LMAO.

    I agree on the vietnamese name of the star apple...hehehe. I think it means breast milk in vietnamese???...lol

    Star Apple (Vu Sua)
    Star apple is a fruit commonly grown in Southern orchards. Entering a star apple orchard, you will see thousands of these fruit hanging loosely on branches. They have smooth peel that is either green or violet. The inside is shaped like a star, which is why it is called a star apple. (In Vietnamese, its name evokes a woman's breast because of its milky flesh.) Before eating a star apple, press your hands evenly around the fruit until it gets very soft; then with a knife, cut it into two parts. With a spoon, grate the pulp until only the outer cover remains. In summer, a glass of star apple soaked in sweetly sugared iced water has no rivals among refreshing drinks

    hm, pulasan, i googled that, it does look alot like rambutant, very interesting.

    I like durians, I didn't have any problem with it when I first tried the fruit, it depends on the persons I think, some thought it was rotten smelled but I thought has a nice fragrance. It's best to eat it with a cup of iced water on the side, too sweet.

    pepperot - rambutant doesn't have that royal taste like lychee, longan, etc.. but it's common and inexpensive, but it's only good when fresh.

    Ch3rri,
    I thought I should tell you that my star apple is air layered so I don't know if that will make it grow slower then a graft? I would imagine it would. I have never tasted the longan but I would like to. Our grocey stores dont even carry dragonfruit. Not much of a tropical fruit selection. Mostly oranges lemons you know the usual, the occasional of season mango. I did pick up a good mango yesterday. It was pretty good for not bein in season. Sweetflavor but dry flesh. I can't wait for my sugar apples. Maybe I will like these enough and skip the Cherimoya. I love your fruit pics. I have to say that what murahilin says about the durian seems to be the popular opinion on durian. I don't really care to ever try it. I would not condone someone for liking it though. More durian for the people who truly appreciate it!

If you can get it at the local supermarket then no shipping fee. I got it for $8 for that little bag...lol. Maybe I will stock up if I visit Thailand or Vietnam in the future. Now making me want some durian.

    Hmhausmen,

    thank you for the info on the Lisa 48-26, I just bought one from Spyke's here in Fort Lauderdale. I love annonas and have two sugar apple trees but really wanted an atemoya as I also hear Cherimoya does not grow here. I heard that in order to get a lot of fruit, you may need to hand pollinate them. I don't know anything about that. Also, I hear that the Atemoyas say a "Lisa" will not cross-pollinate with a "Geffner" but they might cross with other annonas like "Custard Apple" which I do have. I have a nice grafted "Lisa" which I heard is the sweetest of the Atemoyas and I hope that it is on a good rootstock that you mentioned is important. Don't they put it on a sugar apple rootstock for Florida? I am in Sunrise, where are you located?

    Vince:

    I am in West Davie, near Western High School. I have never heard that Lisa, or as I knew it, 48-26 was "the sweetest" of the atemoyas. As far as rootstocks, I am no expert. As far as I know, all of the annonas can be interchanged, with varying degrees of success, with other annonas. My understanding is that Zill's is now using Cherimoya rootstock extensively. I am not sure why or if that is a good thing. Even they have been known to make root stock selections which turn out to be not the best of choices when looked at in hind sight.

    I just called Spyke's and they said that they do often use the Cherimoya rootstock for the Atemoya grafts. They said that it still works out ok for growth and fruit production here. I was also told by the Spyke's rep that he preferred the "Lisa" to both the "Priestly" and the "Geffner" when it came to taste. He said that they have developed the "Lisa" considerably and they are quite good. In any case, I hope that my tree turns out to produce some good fruit.

    I have two sugar apples, "Lisa" atemoya, a jackfruit, a couple of sapodilla, a large avocado, 4 coconuts, chocolate sapote, a delicious seedless guava, 2 mango (Haden & Wild), Custard apple, pineapple, blueberry, rasberry and blackberry and a ponderosa lemon, & two papaya!

    What are you growing?

    LOL......probably not the place to post this. Aplogies to Kristy for partial hijack of this thread. Here is a quick cut and paste from an Excel list I keep of what I am growing. It is missing some new additions and it needs to be further updated....but you can kind of get the idea.
