webDip Face To Face 2015
Back in 2011, a dozen or so webDippers met in Boston for a Face to Face tournament. Some of the best players on the site, including Babak, MadMarx, and TheWizard, competed against familiar and yet at the same time new players. I will again be hosting a F2F tournament in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the Summer of 2015. This requires great effort and several dedicated people to coordinate, but it is well worth it. Details will be forthcoming, but for now: Enjoy to F2F! GO! GO! GO!

Favorite fruits?
I have been blessed to try 32 different kinds of fresh fruit here. The variety is astonishing.

What are some of your favorite fruits, especially relatively little known or neglected ones?

I've got most of those fruit here. I absolutely echo what Putin says about passion fruit juice, that stuff is amazing. Mangosteen and lychees are awesome. Truth is, I keep coming back most to mango. In moderate climates, the imported mango is lame and sour. But here, it melts on your tongue and is heavenly.

Durian I like now, but it's taken a while to desensitize myself to the smell.

Oooh, my wife and I brought a modern ice cream maker (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003KYSLMW/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_dp_1) and made home-made durian ice cream. It took the smell out and tasted sooooo good. My wife who hates durian ate some and just greatly enjoyed it.

We also made rum cheesecake ice cream. Man, that was superb. We've made two batches now because of how good it was.

It seems langsat isn't citrus. Looks cool though.

Bo, you really need to correct the lack of grapefruit in your life. It is by far the best common fruit, followed closely by raspberries.

@zultar, I've been having homemade strawberry ice cream all week. Nothing as fancy as your little contraption, but man is it good.

I tried a cool citrusy thing a few months ago that was basically a giant grapefruit and was really good, but I don't remember what it's called.

I think I may have to try passion fruit, since I loved the wild sweet cup so much.

I actually loved it so much that last week I spent the entire afternoon getting lost in a bamboo forest craning my neck looking for signs of the vine and using a bamboo pole to tear down the ones with even one small fruit on them. Lol. There's just something about that taste that lights up my life for three seconds.

@TMOW: where is "here"? Do you live in a tropical climate? You're so right about mangos. Imported ones are such trash

This might be relevant. Grafting is great. Anyone understands how it works?

^Yup, it's really simple.
ILN (100 D)

You basically take advantage of a stronger and more developed root system (rootstock) of another tree, and then graft on that root system the desired fruit tree (the scion).

You cut the scion in a way that it fits into the rootstock, so cutting it in a v shape would work, and then stick it into the wedge you made in the rootstock. You have to make sure there's an airtight seal, some use wax but tape can also work.
ILN (100 D)

It's pretty fascinating thinking that all the apples (and most other fruit) you buy from the store have been grafted for centuries..... None of their seeds would make the same tree, you'll get shitty wild apples.

I love fruit too!
I love kiwis, nectarines, plums, peaches, rasp, black, blue and strawberries, longan, cherries, lychee... Those are some of my favorites.

@zultar Love the white peaches/nectarines though. So sweet, but not too sweet. The only reason why I like peaches a tad less than nectarines is because of the fuzz. I'm too lazy to cut off the skin, and I tend to eat the skins anyway, like on grapes and baked potatoes.
@Thucy, I'm based in Vietnam, so subtropical, but close enough. Most of the fruit here comes from the south, which is tropical.

Although moderate climates have their own awesomeness. I was back in Europe this holiday season, and was totally addicted to the strawberries, blueberries, black berries, red berries, raspberries, etc etc. In Europe they grow in the wild, but theyre terribly hard to come by here, ridiculously expensive and have a crappy taste.

So ILN you seem to know a bit about fruit trees... I'll be taking note of that.

Yeah it's interesting about the seeding. If you try to grow saplings from the seeds in your citrus for instance, if it even grows, most do not even bear fruit.
now i know we didn't get this far without someone mentioning satsumas

I absolutely adore peaches, but only from farmer's markets and such, not the supermarket variety.

After that, mangoes are probably my favorite but I'm bad at judging them, so I don;t always get good ones.

Newbie Advice
Hey! I'm new to the game but have already fallen in love with it! I have a question though. So far I have just kept on playing but I generally get defeated fairly early. I've tried reading some articles I googled and it seems to be helping a little. Do you guys have any advice for a newbie like me to get better? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
