Tropical Fruit Discussion / Choquette Avacado Shedding Leaves
« on: March 26, 2014, 08:03:28 PM »
My two-year-old Choquette avocado tree looked healthy with a full canopy of dark green leaves and a full bloom.  Suddenly, in mid March, all the mature leaves began browning and falling and now the tree is completely leafless, with a bountiful bloom and some healthy-looking new growth.  I fertilize monthly and it hasn't been dry, at all.  Is this a regular cycle for this variety or do I have a problem?  The bloom is opening and looks healthy.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Valencia Pride Mango tree pruning
« on: March 26, 2014, 02:21:13 PM »
Back in January, to control their size, I pruned my three mango trees:  Keitt, Valencia Pride and Glen.  The Glen and Keitt trees have since put out new growth and bloomed heavily, while the Valencia has sprouted new growth but has not bloomed at all.  Does anyone have a similar experience?  Should I not prune this variety?
