hello! would you happen to sell any varieties like Wang Bo or Daiougoumi – varieties that produce fruit that’s larger than the Tillamook/Carmine? Where is Pippi in terms of fruit-size? thanks!
I don’t grow any ‘Wang Bo’ or ‘Daiougoumi’. From what I’ve seen in pictures they make very large fruit, but don’t appear to set such heavy crops as ‘Carmine’ and ‘Pippi.’ The fruits of ‘Pippi’ average only slightly larger than ‘Carmine’ (at least they do under my growing conditions).

England’s Orchard can sell you scion for Wang Bo, and one called Chorus that was elsewhere identified as potentially a Daiagoumi. He may have a couple other less common ones, but I haven’t looked at his list in a while. He has a variety of Autumn Olives too.
He has a lot of stuff that seems to have never been spread in a lot of categories. I’m sure there is reason for most of that, but it’s worth a look for collectors.

thank you @Mtncj . this evening i read most of this thread. thank you for the prompt – yup, Chorus potentially is Daiagoumi!
what an amazing thread.
i just finished geeking on Jujube and now, Goumi! it’s unfortunate that such stellar cultivars of Jujube and Goumi are virtually impossible to buy.
thanks again!

First time posting, and I want to echo the comment above, this is an amazing thread! Thank you for sharing all of the information, a lot of which cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.
I’m interested in breeding goumis as well, and I’ll start my own thread on the topic soon. Right now I’m in the collecting known cultivars phase, and so far I have Red Gem, Sweet Scarlet, Carmine/Tillamook, Catherine’s Find, and several seedlings of Wang Bo (picked up from England’s). I’ve ordered several Hidden Springs seedlings, Sherwood, and Sunrise Ruby for spring 2026. That only leaves a few other cultivars available in the U.S., which I’ll be interested in pursuing, but I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew in one year.
I’ll have a lot of questions and will certainly be looking for feedback from the more experienced members here, so thank you ahead of time for the support!
