    Nice specimens Doug, I look forward to hearing how they do. What's the go with that soil mix they're in? Looks intriguing.

    • @dougs_urbanfarm
      @dougs_urbanfarm  Рік тому

      Cheers mate, he has them in scoria with some peat moss. They never get any root rot, no matter how much you water, but they are a pain to repot when small as the mix just collapses, requires some delicate surgery on the pots!. My mix is peat ,coco, perlite ,sand, pumice and charcoal.

      ​@@dougs_urbanfarm Interesting, cheers for elaborating! Is that mix just for Garcinas or do you use it generally for other fruits? Also, what do you think of the Costada jabo if you've grown it? They're meant to fruit sooner, or is that just marketing?

      @@vonmaverickson I use my mix for everything now and stuff grows very fast and I can water every day. Two years and the mix is still fine, I don't use any organic matter in the soil that can rot as it goes anaerobic. If you look up Laguna hills nursery, the owner Gary matsuoka does excellent talks on 'what is soil', changed my ideas about potting soil.

    Nice Xmas gifts - how cold tolerant are the Mulchis? Im persisting with Lucs Seedling as id prefer on Lucs rootstock but got an advanced Achacha recently. Good luck with that Duku - marcot will save 20y ✔️ oh i thought the Guabiyu would need more chill - mine have flushed but cant see flowers yet.

    • @dougs_urbanfarm
      @dougs_urbanfarm  Рік тому +1

      Hey Mark I think the mulchis will be okay here, might protect them if we get down to 3 or 4 deg. They are definitely not frost tolerant.
      Achacha grow pretty fast here, one of mine flowered a month back and has set about 20 fruit, so lucs might grow okay on it as rootstock. Yes would love the duku to survive! Guabiyu fruit pretty well here, my mate picks buckets off his, this will be the first fruiting of mine, had a couple of flowers last year.
