This forum is killing me!

20 years ago

I'm already in several forums and now we have this new one. It is by far the best one but you're all killing me! Every darn post seems so interesting that I find that I need to respond to almost every one! I've certainly found them interesting enough to have to read thru every one of them. Also, everyone so far is fantastic. What a group! Refreshing!

We have individuals from all walks of life and all over the place with at least one thing in common...we're nuts! Okay, we're nuts over growing rare fruits. All I ask of everyone is that we all continue to play nice with each other, encourage each other, and always try to be helpful and respectful. I honestly cannot say this of another forum I check out. I believe some of the members would just as soon dig a grave for another member than dig a hole for a rare fruit tree. I rarely post a new message or a reply for fear of some sort of reprisal or made to feel unworthy.

So...thank you all for your interest. Let's have fun and learn more about rare fruit!

Jay,

I agree 100% with your statement. I also like to see pictures of what all of you are growing. I will take a few more and post them.

I am very happy to see this new forum. In PR, they have lots of fruit that I never heard of before. I have a whole new world of fruit opened up to me! Of course, they have different names for the fruit, so I have to do some research to figure out what each one is. But I am having a ball going to all sorts of fairs and sales and buying fruit and trees. It is all new to me, and I am really getting in to it.
Sooner or later we will need an exchange forum......

Ohiojay: I agree, I love this forum too. I actually changed from checking Tropical Plants first to this one. I've found that about quite a few of the people in various forums too, but then there are all the nice ones I meet through here too. As for anyone that makes you feel unworthy; they aren't worth reading anyhow. :)

I love seeing the pictures as well, and I neeeeed to get a digital camera so I can post pics!

Bienvenido Gwenn! Have you been to Sadhu's nursery, GG? He's got so many good tropicals. :)

Tropicaliste-
Yes, I went to Sadhu's this spring and got about 10 different saplings. The poor guy- I didn't know what I wanted, so he went through every tree he had available (and he had about 60 different types!) telling me what they tasted like. It was hard to get only 10! -

LOL, I know exactly what ya mean. I ordered a few trees from him last month, and just could not make up my mind. Not to mention the prices just are so good. What'd ya end up getting?

From what I remember I got from Sadhu:
Black sapote- diospyrus digyna
Peanut butter tree- bunchosia argentea
Bakupuri- Rheedia brazilian
Pitanga- eugenia uniflora
Anon
Caldeluda- eugenia tonentosa
Cherry Mangosteen- Garcia intermedia
Biribu- rollinia deliciosa
Canistel- pouteria campechia
but I think there were more.
I also have saplings growing of:
acerola- malpighia glabra
ice cream bean- inga ????
and fruiting mango, avecado, guanabana (soursop), papaya, grapefruit, bananas, tangerine, chironja, manderine orange, cainito and guava. I have seedlings of a number of fruit I have tried including tamarind, nispero, mamey, cherimoya, gooseberries, pineapples, and sugar apples.
Someday, I hope to be able to go out into my yard and pick breakfast everyday!
