Mike says... Phil I have discovered the same thing... that they take months and people just give up.I acquired some argentine yellow fleshed tropicals and they popped up within days.A couple of brown sicana seeds germinated yesterday but the tiny seeded black type is showing no action.I have heard they are the 2 best types of cassababana in all rio state. | About the Author Cairns 17th November 2012 3:59pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Phil that is the idea.If only 5 survive I'll pass 3 on to specialists and hopefully I can be a cassabanana johnny appleseed.I had 2 oyster nut vines come up and that is what I did with those because I would be too risky for them.I just hope they were male and female. Miranda, mountain soursop is not usually considered as good as the regular ones.I wonder if you tried an elite type or your memories have sweetened over time. | About the Author Cairns 17th November 2012 4:18pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... VF the hog plums are just so yesterday and there are only 4 casabanas up and still no black ones.It is such a pity that further restrictions on the import of Annona seeds mean you won't be able to bring them in from overseas any more. On that note GA3 600ppm worked a treat with my dead ilama seeds that were hauled outa the fridge and dug up.I have 5 sprouting now in less than a week.The red genova,white genova and pink fleshed.... mexican saint lady named types got mixed so I don't know what they'll be. | About the Author Cairns 17th November 2012 5:47pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Great news Mike with the Ilama - they should fill the void of the other misbehaving annona. Sounds like you have a promising collection happening. Going back a month or two someone on ebay was selling some seedlings(from Cairns too) - I was very tempted but was unsure what the quality woud be, as not much written on their blurb. I'm running out of space for larger trees, so am sticking to known good un's. | About the Author VF Wongawallan 17th November 2012 6:13pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... John the only sources are African and I have my vines away as they would be too big for me. The ilamas have also been spread around but I have 3 in the ground and just planted a weak one as well.The seeds got mixed but I am hoping for a red genova,green genova and Rosie Perez which were the 3 types sent. I gave away most of the soursops but planted a Brazilian lisa and Tanzanian special but should have put in a morada but I gave the whole pot of seedlings away.I also gave the rollinias to farmers.That stuff is all very 2012/2013 and the bar has been raised.The world of tropical fruit is abuzz at the moment. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 31st March 2014 11:07pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

denise1 says... The first plant I grew lasted for several years until cut out for development at the airport. It was only male. The replacement plants copped a freak frost and died just before the species were mysteriously deleted from the list of importable seeds. Alas many plants just slipped off the list around 1998 when some rapid changes were made in the system. I had sold seedlings to people up north and wonder if any are still in existence. If only it was easier than it is to have it reapproved. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 1st April 2014 4:07pm #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Thanks for that, denise, I'll check to see if we can import some seed into Aus. A guy by the name of Hans Muller was growing it in Sydney ~20 years ago. He had to physically go to Africa to source the seed for himself. I've been through this once already with GAC, It's deja vu all over again. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 1st April 2014 5:01pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Brisbane should be OK. They do grow by cutting, but I'm doing something wrong. I'm tearing all the unwanted growth from around the rootstock and trying to get that to strike, but it's just not happening. My eventual aim is to graft known cv's onto the rootstocks if and when they strike. I'll have to wait till I get root shoots happening. Seeds from known cv's are inert so if you want rootstocks from seed, you have to let a rootstock fruit and use those seeds. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 1st April 2014 9:52pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
