Well today i had time to go to a very special nursery 2h away. Its full of tropical/semi tropical/mediterranean and all type of plants, trees and fruit trees.
@Luisport i went to Viveiros do Lima!!!
It was amazing and thank god i took counted money, because i could easily buy everything there… lol
While there i saw some mulberries also, and some big nigras cultivar La Regina. I didnt buy those because i have 2 of those but they are tiny compared to the ones in the nursery… well next month ill be going there again to buy more trees and i might not resist and get a few more nigras.
Anyway this time i bought:
Grumixama - eugenia brasiliensis
Atemoya
Carissa macrocarpa
Jujuba - giant variety
Uva crispa - Hinnonmaki Red cultivar gooseberry
Paw paw Sunflower - asimina triloba
Cherry of Rio Grande - eugenia involucrata
Callicarpa americana
Uvaia
Ready to go… i"ll plant these tomorrow

Thanks Luis, i need it.
The place is really cool and the employee on site took more than an 1h with me showing me the place and plants.
There were a few more i wanted to bring but he said they would die in our winters: Jaca, Biriba, jaboticaba and others.

Jaca and biriba ok, but jaboticaba you can try, it’s very hardy and i have several on ground.

Really? he said it would die… lol
On the other hand he said i could try grumixama.but i remember you saying not. Lol.
I took middle risk and brought a small grumixama (cheaper), but if it survives it will take 5 years to fruit acording to him. Lol
Amazing place… will be creating a photo thread later.
Didnt even have time to see the citrus and outdoor plants (pears, figs, nectarines, apples, apricots, etc,).

Awesome thread and I really like all the mulberry pics. You’re curating a serious collection of mulberry trees. One of my all time favorite trees. I’ve been collecting cuttings from my travels, and growing out seedlings dropped off by birds. I have only one named cultivar that I bought. It’s a Pakistan… Also you have a really nice place.
