Tropical Fruit Discussion / Donnie Avacado?
« on: August 13, 2021, 05:38:19 PM »
I bought this tree at home depot in Pinecrest, Miami. The tag said it was a coquette. It is being harvested in August. I think it may be a Donnie Avacado.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cherimoya in Cuba vs Miami
« on: June 06, 2021, 08:16:36 AM »
I have a 5 foot tall Cherimoya tree which I grew from a seed that was brought over from Pinar Del Rio, Cuba. The tree at one point dropped every single leaf but has since come back and is looking healthy. I keep hearing that Cherimoya will not grow well in Miami. How can it grow well in Pinar Del Rio but not in Miami? I think the climate and sea level is very similar. I recently re potted the Cherimoya tree into a 50 gallon soft pot. I want to know if I am wasting my time.

I bought a Choquette avacado tree at the Home Depot in Pinecrest, Miami.  The tag says Choquette and harvest in Oct-Dec. The tree has lots of large Avacado's and its July. Is this really a Choquette?? Can anyone identify this Avacado tree. The tree is planted in Miami.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / How to treat my sick Anon trees?
« on: September 14, 2019, 11:44:02 AM »
Today is Sept 14th and my Anon trees should be health with harvest ready fruit on them. My trees are located in Miami. Please take a look at the attached pictures. One of the trees has no leaves and the other has sick looking leaves. Should I be spraying neem oil weekly with more frequent fertilization? Does anyone have this problem with there Anon trees? These trees were both healthy last season with fruit.

Does anyone know what type of avacado this is?? The pictures were taken on August 3rd, 2019. At the time of the pictures the fruit was still hard.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / I am taking out my citrus trees in Miami.
« on: September 23, 2018, 07:48:26 AM »
I had a minneola tangelo for 4 years in the ground which I bought in a 5 gallon pot from home depot. I watered it, fertilized it, sprayed it with neem oil and it showed multiple citrus problems. It flowered but never produced fruit.  I decided to take it out and replaced it with a Mamey tree.

I have another "dwarf" naval orange tree that I also purchased at home depot. It has been in the ground now for 5 years. It also is very high maintenance and not producing fruit well. I am planning on taking out the naval orange tree to make room for something that produces better.

I have a lakeland limequat in a pot which is producing well but showing signs of common citrus issues.

Does anyone have well producing tangelo or orange trees in Miami?

Should I take out the dwarf naval orange tree or keep trying?
