For those that have this variety, can you please tell me if your branches have stripes somewhat similar to Panache?  I have a couple of them and they have stripes but someone from Taiwan was chatting with me on Facebook about one on eBay and I noticed it doesn't have any stripes.

I asked this a while back because of a photo on ebay and everyone who answered said that the bark is striped but it's not as easy to see as on the Panache.

Harvey if you look at the topic that bass has with his tree you will see stripes...
i hope this helps.

Yes, mine always have stripes, easier to see on youngest branches which is also the case in Panache, but the stripes are so far not as bright as what I often get on Panache.  Still, I've not ever seen a branch where I didn't see the stripes fairly easily.

here's mine

     

Harvey, it's my MR on ebay. Not sure how you concluded that it doesn't have any stripes because I did not post any close-up pics of it. I will post a clearer photo tonight, time willing.

Fyi, mine came from Bass!

And it looks like a good one to bid on!!

Too bad no shipping to Ca. Im sure you would set a record lol

Hi Ryan, okay, I see you're the seller.  I concluded such because I could not see any stripes when I zoomed in.  When moving mine around this morning I saw stripes very easily, thus the question.  Okay?

Yes,they(branches) are similar to Panache.

Ok, here are a few pics I took this morning. I hope they're stripes enough...


On a side note, Harvey, please PM me first before you make a public statement like you did. I would really appreciate that! It's not like you did not know it was me who's got the MR on eBay right now because you have wished me luck in the past, congratulated me on a I-258 sale, etc. And, I have on my description my figs4fun ID. 

As a fellow eBay seller, I'm pretty sure you would understand where I'm coming from. If it wasn't for a few caring and loyal customers, I would not have known about your statement. 

Peace!

My Panache, MR, and CdD Rimada all exhibit very similar striping but the fruits are different in shape. 

Good photos Ryan, sorry you went through this, I have the utmost respect for your purchases, the source of your purchases and your sales. Good luck with your sales and good growing.

Thanks, Waynea!

Ryan, please PM me before making such public requests. :)

I was speaking with an Thai customer and he brought it up and I looked and had similar concerns.  I didn't even see who the seller was, there was nothing wrong with asking the question.You seem to be super sensitive about something.  Your branches posted above look fine, thanks.  Your plant looks nice.  Since you've had fruit, you might want to post photos of that also (since you asked my advice about selling eBay).  Good luck.

Take care, Harvey.

Good luck to you as well.

I vote for a PM first if you have questions it would stop allot of the drama that plaques this site :-)

I didn't think I was creating any drama, I asked a simple question.  For some background, another member here once posted a photo of immature fruit of Martinenca Rimada that was not striped but he has since sold cuttings that were clearly striped, so I'm not sure what was going on there.  Another former member received MP cuttings and one did not appear right, so this is a variety I've been watching closely.  Nothing I wrote in my first post should be viewed as controversial!

Are those pics of the mother tree? The node spacing indicates at least one pic shown is not of the tree in the auction...

Yup, the last 2 are of the mother tree

It is best to be up front about that sort of thing. The question was about the tree for sale after all.

I can zoom in enough to see the tiny lenticels on the eBay pic but no sign of striping. Could you take some pics that can identify the actual plant? Such as the tips or the knobby part.

I will have that by tomorrow. I finish work late tonight and will be dark by the time I get home.

Ps, I simply forgot to note that the last 2 pics were of the mother tree.

The striping on the first is very apparent, it should be no problem to step back little bit and show more of the plant along with that same node.

Is that the only striped section? .

p.s. Make sure to take the photo from the same side, the lenticel pattern will match up exactly.
