The tree is on a watering schedule, so it should not have that dry/water issue?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Wax Jambu Fruit Splitting?
« on: October 10, 2020, 08:49:18 PM »
Hi All,

I am growing some wax jambu here in the California Bay Area.

The problem that I am seeing is that the fruit is splitting?  Does anyone know why and have any suggestions on trying to keep it from happening?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Fertilizer to make guava sweeter
« on: October 09, 2020, 10:30:03 AM »
Hello All,

I have some guava trees (Red Malaysian, Lemon Guava, Varigated Guava, etc...) that do not seem to be as sweet as some others that I have tried.

I heard that there was a fertilizer of viatimin that can be applied to help raise the brix level?

Something like viatimin B?

Does anyone know?

I am in the California Bay Area BTW.

TIA!

Hello Simon and Spaugh.

Thanks for all the wonderful information and tips!

I'll stake up and see what happens.

I'll also look to find some seedlings as well.

Cheers!

Hm....Can anyone hazard a guess as to why one root stock would cuase bendy branches vs another?

Is it a soil deficiency or something like that?

I agree bendy is better than snappy, but the tree is looking more like a vine than a tree! 

Can't even support the weight of the leaves.

Just trying to figure out if it is lacking something or getting too much of something.

Yep.  all the trees came from Florida.

I put them in the ground last year and the branches were always alittle bendy, but they seem worse now.

Maybe a deficiency in something or too much water/too little?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Very bendy branches on Mango trees North California
« on: May 06, 2020, 02:54:41 PM »
Hello all,

I have some mango trees that I put in the ground here in northern California.

The branches are very very bendy.  TZhe branches are about the dia of a Sharpie marker but very bendy.  They all droop and the wood is very flexible almost like rubber.

Other than that, they seem ok.

Does anyone have any ideas why the branches are "bendy"

Cheers!
