Nice haul!! I recognise those pots and the gravel mix. He provides excellent service and postage speed! Some varieties there that I didn't see on Steve's ebay yet. Potting up this weekend
You might be catching up to Ayesha in varieties, I'm also after a cambuca. Blue guaqueia recently got named as Myricaria caerulescens, pretty new growth.
Nice! Another fruit trees lover in the SEQLD! Lots of interesting additions! I just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watch your videos! Cheers from the Fraser Coast!
Nice selection there, lot of myrciaria I had to look up! Good luck with the lucs, I haven’t had much luck with the grafted one but seedling is steadily growing.
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.
@@dougs_urbanfarmyes I find this problem too! Makes it challenging extracting the plants without damaging roots. I think I’ll sacrifice the pots next time and cut them down the side whilst in position in the new pot.
@@sydneyfruitgardening that's the only way to do it. I cut around the bottom and down 2 sides and like a magic trick put it in a pot with a hole in the mix in the middle. Pull out the cut plastic pot and done.
The salticola is huge, looks even bigger in the vid When I first saw the tenella on eBay I thought it looks like a beauty also lol, saves wasting a tag
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.
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.
Great video Doug, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Johnny, hope you guys are well.
So many exciting new additions. It will be great to see these grow out for you
Cheers G, I feel like the plinia/myrciaria/garcinia addiction is just starting to take hold..... watch out!😉🤪
@dougs_urbanfarm it's so terribly addictive lol. Nice to see the avaliable varieties expanding over there.

Just send him a message on messenger, his list is way bigger than what he puts on ebay. Am on a wait list for cambucca, have to have one of them!
Don't get a pingo de Mel or z4, I am grafting a few, will keep one of each for you and Neil
@@dougs_urbanfarm too kind mate thanks

I will once i steal scions off Ayesha of the ones i dont have! I'll sent you the photo Steve sent to me of his cambuca.
Great great choices. Really nice plants 🌱
Thanks Thomas, good luck with getting ready for winter!
@@dougs_urbanfarm thanks a lot

Thanks Ewa, I love to try different fruits. I started planting 8 years ago and haven't stopped!
Nice selection there, lot of myrciaria I had to look up! Good luck with the lucs, I haven’t had much luck with the grafted one but seedling is steadily growing.
I think the lucs can be hit and miss, but as this is on achacha will plant neat where my achachas happily grow
An incredible range of rare tropical fruits that you probably couldn't dream of finding in Europe and cerrainly couldnt grow 😢
Yes Brett, not many of these would survive England!
I have them all 😊😅
@@ThomasTropicalFruits lol I knew you have Thomas 😂😂. But they aren't available from 'normal' nurseries I meant, and not at all in the UK 🤪
@@dougs_urbanfarm they'd all need a heated greenhouse or a proper growroom indoors
@@lyonheart84 is it hard to get seeds from the EU to the UK?
Nice specimens Doug, I look forward to hearing how they do. What's the go with that soil mix they're in? Looks intriguing.

Nice haul, can't wait to see all those jaboticaba fruiting and the taste differences
Lucs has always been on my list too, exciting times for you
I think lucs is a must for any garcinia lover!
The salticola is huge, looks even bigger in the vid

Yeah Neil it is a lot bigger than my last one! I actually went on Amazon to buy more ally tags and they had sold out! I have told too many people lol.

@@dougs_urbanfarm my Guabiyu have flowered lightly last 2 years not setting but think one of my Surinams has set first time yay 😊
