Paquicuba,
Did this show up after Hurricane Ian?  Did you get winds near Category One?

Around the same time, but we didn't get affected by IAN at all.

Thanks!

Thanks so much Har!

Thanks so much Har for your very informative expert advice!

Hi! I'm interested in a (Fruiting) Pitangatuba. I bought two of them three years ago from Adam (Flying Fox Fruits) that are definitely self-infertile.
I can pick one up tomorrow...
Thanks!

I bought two seedlings three years ago. Last year they bloomed like crazy and not a single fruit. This year they're still blooming and nothing. Are these plants a scam or they need hand pollination?

I have a true Fiji dwarf that came from Hawaii and a Fiji hybrid that came from Puerto Rico (have both since they were just a nut)
The Fiji hybrid is almost 4-years-old, but it has been fruiting since last year. It's quite a specimen with 4 feet of visible trunk, super long fronds and a very thick trunk base. The true Fiji is almost 3-years-old and just started trunking.

Here is the base of the trunk for the hybrid:


My daughter hugging it:






The one in the front is the true Fiji Dwarf and the one in the back is the hybrid:

Thanks a lot guys for your replies. I know it's not fungus because it happened overnight after spraying the trees at night time. I guess I can only use Coco wet for palm trees and start using NIS.

I'm now using Hars 0-3-16 and also recently used keyplex 350 for the micros. However, keyplex 350 caused some damaged to new tender growth. Am I not supposed to spray new growth or perhaps I used too much? I used 1 ounce per gallon following the label.  If I went overdosed, what can I do to correct the damage?  Thanks!!

My Manzanillo tree has done it again. This tree is amazing. It gives you mangoes from April until August-September due to its re-blooming ability (currently blooming for the 4th time)

Manzanillo blooming for the second time. The fruits from the first blooming flowers are rapidly gaining size.

I have one planted in my yard. It is an awesome mango. Is in my top 5.

Is the Guava Mango the same that PlantOGram calls GuaMango? The fruit shape they show on their site doesn't look like the one Walter Zill is holding in a Truly Tropical video.

Also, PlantOGram describes the tree as a semi-dwarf, is that statement accurate? or again, are they referring to a different mango variety?

Thanks for the clarification!

Here is the Manzanillo:

It's normal. The Sapotaceae family suffers from leaf rust (Acrotelium lucumae) — mainly on young trees. I agree with previous post that it won't affect the health of the tree at all. Sapodilla trees are one of the toughest fruit trees you can grow —it's hard to over-watering or under-watering them.
