5251 Polianthes tuberosa - Tuberose

Small shrub 2-5 ft Full sun Regular water Moderate water White/off-white flowers Fragrant Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds

The Tuberose grows in elongated spikes up to 45 cm long that produce clusters of fragrant waxy white flowers that bloom from the bottom towards the top of the spike. It has long, bright green leaves clustered at the base of the plant and smaller, clasping leaves along the stem.
Long-lasting as a cut flower in water. Most flowers begin to lose their scent when they are picked. Not so with tuberose, like jasmine, the heady floral scent continues to produce itself. In Ayurvedic medicine, attars are held in high esteem not only for their exquisite fragrance, but their healing properties. Tuberose is known to improve one's capacity for emotional depth.

Mangifera indica - Wise Mango, Grafted

Click to see full-size image

5269 Mangifera indica - Wise Mango, Grafted ?

What is grafted plant

Q: What is a grafted plant?

Grafting is a method of vegetative (or asexual) propagation where a piece of one plant (scion) selected for its flowers or fruit and containing the desired genes to be duplicated is inserted into a piece of another plant (rootstock), with a strong vigorous root system, usually a seedling.

Benefits of the graft:

making a clone of the parent plant ensures the same cultivar, since most fruit trees will not come true to seed
taking a scion from a mature plant reduces time to flowering and fruiting (from 10-12 years for a seedling to 2-3 years or less for a grafted plant)
introducing dwarfing, hardiness, disease and pest resistance.
easier propagation method when other means like cutting or seed is not successful

Big tree > 20 ft Full sun Moderate water Edible Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time Seaside, salt tolerant plant

Wise mango - a very good cultivar that was lost over the years. Wise is from Miami, and was part of the post-1930s boom in mango cultivar introduction in South Florida. Many of those cultivars are no longer propagated even though many had good eating qualities. The Wise mango fruit has almost round shape and very little fiber if any. Sweet, juicy and flavorful.
