Citrus General Discussion / Re: Be Careful Watering Large Container Trees
« on: May 31, 2020, 05:24:53 PM »
In these type of pots i lost all my pecan collection.All died because of drought in the winter when i didnt watered them ( were kept outdoor).
Not only the water flushes out of the holes on the sides of these pots ,but they also dry faster.

On a positive side,it started to grow new shots that look healthy so i wouldnt consider this tree dead iet.
Hope it recovers and also no black shoe sting like formations to be Armillaria.

I am thinking to buy this ,,economic,, hose instead of the firefighter hose.
Its called economic because its verry cheap @ 1euro/4 meters of 3/8 inch thick.
Has nice reinforcement,nice black rubber interior to prevent algae growth,but the reviews skared me.
Everybody curses it because it kinks and twist altough to me it seemed to perform well .

The simptoms are that of Armillaria fungi.
Look into Armillaria root rot.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Fruit thieves rant
« on: May 30, 2020, 08:01:05 PM »
I found one of my newly planted trees missing.
Then i saw the tree 20 meters away dumped on the road.It was paonted with white paint ,thats why i could see it.
Aparently a human took it out of the ground to steal it then because he could not identify the tree he throwed it on the road.

I picked the tree ,wetted its roots and i planted it back in the same hole.
It started grow leaves,didnt died.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Honda wood chipper ?.
« on: May 30, 2020, 07:57:14 PM »
When i was in highschool i cut,welded and did the lathe work to build a giant hammer mill.
I made the hammer mill from 1 cm thick steel( half an inch) ,had 36 hammers and the motor... was 11 KW motor ,3 phase and 3000 rpm conected in star( i think,had 1500 rpm conected the otther way ).
It crushed whole beef bones to dust .
The electric motor weighted like 100 kgs or more and the whole machine i think less than a ton.

When i sold it,i got the buyer in my metalic shack where the hammer mill was and wasnt fixed with screws in the concrete foundation .
I throwed 2 large beef bones into the chopper,it crushed them in a second then i stopped the machine and it started to vibrate and jump a little .
It made the ground shake along with the whoole metalic shack and the buyer was soo skared it wanted to flee but he couldnt find the door  ;D.
He finally bought it .

As a wood chipper i have an electric one thats small ,just 3 hp( 2,8 kw) but its geared for torque and it chops easily 2 inch thick branches or firewood.I payd only 150 dollars on it and im verry pleased with the purchase.Its made in China and altough its not a professional wood chipper i use it almost as a professional one.Made a few cubic meters of wood chips with it.

I have found that my wax jambu i wanted to send you is nit wax jambu .Its Eleagnus Latifolia ,sho shang.
If you find this blue java banana at a resonable price let me know also.

Oh i am sorry to hear that. So that is why is was so able to survive your cold temps!
The last supposed blue java (that is probably is not i got it from http://frosthartepalmen.de so i will search another source. Also canarius is too expensive..
If i find of course i will let you know
Its great since i think Eleagnus latifolia its a better fruit than wax jambu.I wanted to buy wax jambu just for the flowers as a decorative tree.
The bulgarian shop once had blue java banana.

That tree is not a Myrtaceae, SeaWalnut.

Myrtaceae have opposite leaf arrangement and that is alternate.
You are right.I got a wrong fruit tree instead of wax jambu.
Now will be really hard to identify this tree unless it fruits .

Hope it heals itself or if not, then you can cut it so it starts new growth from where it was broken.
I dont know much about bananas as i dont grow any at the moment thogh.

On wikipedia it says ,,when healthy ,the leaves have a shine to them,, .
This is how the leaves of my wax jambu look.They have what appears to be shiny specks on them with more on the trunk and on the new growth.
Tree grows in sodic soil,verry alkaline( i mean it has 8,5 ph).

« on: May 29, 2020, 01:41:05 AM »
Its not a fairy tale,its real that the chinese killed all the sparrows( almost all of them) leading to the ecological imbalance Spaugh noted before.
They calculated how much cereals eats a sparrow and they were doing it to combat famine  but it didnt worked.

Maybe they impregnated the wood chips with water glass( sodium silicate) in order to repel water and last longer.

Adam ( fruit bat fruits) had this and i think he is the only one .
Also,do you know that there are thousands of such annonaceae edible and unknown much?
Im not talking about annona but otther related annonaceae.
They are hard to find and exceptionally hard to find good seeds that germinate .

Wax jambu and atemoya like high ph .Atemoya likes limestone and wax jambu sodic soil wich has a ph of 8,5+.
What i think it happened its that you feed bacteria with sugar and they used all the nitrogen .
After bacteria dies ,the plant should get available nitrogen again and more than before.

« on: May 28, 2020, 04:45:05 PM »
For the moment i dont send this Nitraria Schoberi.
Im the only one on the european continent that eats this.
I will have to consider well if i want to give somme seeds away.
If its not invasive,if the person realises how rare this plant is and has enough respect for it as it is a natural monument here protected by law ( criminal record ,jail ,for breaking Nitraria Schoberi leaves,etc).
I will announce you if i will give away the seeds.

Look at Quatar.The infectious rate per 1 mil population its the biggest in the world and its a warm country.
This comes to aid my theory about pollen competing with coronavirus because Quatar has not manny flowers and the pollen in the air its low because this country its located in a desert.
The death rate with only 30 cases for 45000 covid 19 cases looks ,,engineered,, like one would expect to find in such dictatorship ( i cant even call it dictatorship actually).
Just see the facts for yourselves https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Dont forget that Qatar may be a hot country but
1 humidity is also high which doesnt help with the virus
2 most people stay indoors exacly because its hot and with aircon the same air circulates so the infections mostly occur in buildings
3 also the tests done are high compered to other countries. For example countries such as Brazil have around 50% of test turn out positive
The comparison with otther countryes that they made more tests is just a scapegoat.
30 death from covid 19 with 45000 cases? Thats cover up.
Bit at least they didnt hide the numbers wich proove my theory that because they have no flowering plants ,covid 19 develops better there.
Its on par with my asumption about MERS wich only spread to Saudi Arabia,another country with no flowering plants and pollen in the air.
