cubanito starts with ... Hey people just took some photos of what I have going on here in Miami, let me know what you think first is a young guanabana and papaya seedlings second is nispero or sapodilla i dont know the english common name just starting to show the next round of fruit. This thing bears year round.. next is mature papaya trees under a caimito (star apple) next is my carambola and some fruit. This tree has given us over 100 pounds of fruit so far this season and theres still a whole bunch getting ready next is my anón or sugar apple, and under it some of the fruits which will be ready very soon next is my carambola to the right and nispero to the left from afar next is tiny seedlings that just sprouted of a fruit granadilla which a friend brought me seeds from columbia. it is a vine and a kind of passion fruit next is a seedling of white sapote which i plan on grafting in the future next is called abiu which is very young and i have never tried but i hear it tastes like flan or caramel. my friend brought me seeds from brazil next is my neighbor's avocados reaching over to my side of the fence and a coconut palm (might be hard to tell whats what) also i have six mangoes all of different tipes which all gave me soooo many fruits this year and a litchi and a longan which have yet to bear fruit..let me know what you guys think

Speedy says... Guanabana ponounced "gwa-NA-ba-na" Accent on second syllable. just think of that song that used to be on the muppets or sesame street? " ma-NA-ma-na doot doo doot doodoo...etc" :-} You could make a song bout your garden.. Guanabana... and sweet potato Guanabana....Cassava too! Guanabana... (make up your own lyrics) Off topic but what the hell. Cubanito, welcome. Sapodilla is English common name (borrowed from Spanish= "little sapote"), but most people here pronounce it "Sapodila". I've heard some folks who've visited Ecuador call it Nispero. I think Nispero was originally the Spanish name for Medlar (Mespilus germanica) applied to the new world fruit of same name because of a few simmilarities between the two otherwise unrelated fruits. | About the Author Swan Hill, Nth Vic 10th August 2009 3:07pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

joe fernandez says... Aussies are my kind of people. Doesn't hurt that most of Australia has a subtropical climate. Californians are just beginning to see what wonderful tropical fruits we can grow in this great weather. Oh yeah, I forgot to list my Atemoya (African pride), White Sapote(suebelle), Elberta Peach, Sugar Apple,grafted on a cherimoya rootstock, dragon fruit, Mamey Sapote (magana) and a small vegetable garden. | About the Author joe fernandez socal 21st March 2010 11:32pm #UserID: 3442 Posts: 15 View All joe fernandez's Edible Fruit Trees |

joe fernandez says... Hi Pete, Yes, those are exuberant prices. There are a whole lotta nurseries in Southern California way cheaper than SoCal nursery. Cherimoya are somewhat popular down here and you could get a cherimoya tree for half the price, or cheaper, than what they are selling them. The pink fleshed cherimoya is unique. I believe the variety is call Selma and from what I heard they don't sell them commercially. You have to find someone who would share some bud wood. I have a sort of unique Red Ilama that I bought in a nursery in San Diego and its suppose to have pink flesh.....I'll have to wait a couple of years because it took a pretty good beating this winter even though it's grafted on a cherimoya rootstock. | About the Author joe fernandez socal 22nd March 2010 3:57am #UserID: 3442 Posts: 15 View All joe fernandez's Edible Fruit Trees |
