that would be just great!

But, aren´t you from a temperate zone? lol

But I have a greenhouse and I only grow fruiting plants in it. Plus it's fun reading other peoples threads.

John

WháT? I guess you only keep cherimoyas, babacos in there! jaja, just kidding! Great! Right, stupid me, forgot about greenhouses. >=I

For us in the dry tropics it´s almost impossible to fruit good apples, peches, etc. >=/

I think it would be fun. I am currently trying to grow guavas, allspice, lychee, mango and tamarind in my greenhouse.

I am game......

Wonderful Idea! I've wanted one for a couple of years, and it's definitely my main focus when I come to this forum. I espicially love seeing everyone's fruit plants :)

Hi
Could certainly be useful. Even with very exotic fruits there are many cultivars as well as different species,grafted plants that may be better suited to your conditions. For greenhouse growing naturally you'll want dwarf types
Patusho There are low chill types of many temperate fruits that can produce well in warm climates. Finding the cultivars is tough though.
growing fruit,especially tropical types is an art of it's own. You need all the help you can get lol

Absolutely! I would love to see a forum dedicated to tropical fruits. I belong to another and it seems like most posts are just members bickering back and forth. They sort of discourage the open attitude of this forum where it's fun to just discuss your plants. So how does this get started?

"So how does this get started?" I'm just going to post a thread in the Suggustion forum asking if they can make a Tropical Fruit forum. You guys need to go there and say you want one.

John

Here is a link that might be useful: here it is

I put in my suggestion. Sounds great to me!

garyfla, yes, there are already some low chill apples and peaches in here, but it´s impossible to get decent fruit from these cultivars; there is a microclimate 100km south from here by the coast where these cvs. bear decent fruit but I´m not into temperate fruits anyway (love mango, lychee, pitayas, tamarind, etc), lol.

Anyone know what happened with this? I think this is a great idea.

Why is no one in authority getting back to us on this issue????????????? Hello?? Anyone there??? Besides all the mind-numbing pop-ups? Habla English?

Count me in! I think we need more people to get this forum going. I'll hit up the fruit & orchards folks, there should be some tropical fruit lovers there.

I think they check the suggestions forum only once a month, so maybe they havenÂt seeing the request for it.

John

They just announced the Tropical Fruit Forum will be up and running in a few weeks. Grrrrrreat.

Wonderful!! Where did you see the announcement??

Jay,

I found the announcement under the post of New Garden Galleries posted by GWtamara.

Tropical Fruit forum is coming -- should be built and launched within the next few weeks.
Minibim, you've seen the many discussions of the copyright issue. GW has never said they own the photos -- but, when you post a picture, you are allowing us to use it. You will always retain the ownership of the picture

Please add the tropical fruit forum!

I would love to see tropical fruid forum as well.

Hey, what´s wrong with you people? Haven´t anybody noticed there´s a new TROPICAL FRUIT FORUM already in GW?!?!?!?

There´s only a buch of people from the Antarctica already there and didn´t dare to inform us. )=I
