Went to 168 market the other day and purchased what they had labeled as Cherimoya but to me it looks atemoya due to the small spikes. The flesh closest to the inner skin wall was grainy. Overall the fruit was guddddddd!
Thoughts?
This year, my alano sapodilla has thousand of flowers but no fruit set. All the buds seems to be drying and dying off. Is there a way to improve the fruit set? I give it extra water & fertilizer this year. Does it need to be cross-pollinated? Location zone 10a/b.
If i manage to get a seed from the few mangoes that produced this year, should i plant it in ground right away, even though winter is just around the corner?
Bump - if anyone needs any Sweet Tart seeds, let me know and I'll send them this weekend.
Does a Hasya sapodilla need another sapodilla tree in the same yard or is it X (how many?) miles away for cross pollination? I live in Miami near Homestead so there's other trees in the area though my direct adjacent neighbors don't have them.
Thank you! What do you think is giving you trouble? The wind? Heat? In Fresno we get hotter in summer and far colder in winter and I've been growing them without any issue so far.
You guys should go buy some rebar.
Pound into ground.
Tie some together for bracing.
They will train your trees and help with high wind.
I paid $7 for 20’ 1/2” rebar over here.
Cut into 3 inside HD using their cutter.
End up with 3 6’8” per 20’
That’s around $2 a stake.
Cheap and last a long time.
