Can a transplant jackfruit tree (2 feet) with a damaged taproot (not sure it was a tap root but one had broken off) survive?

yup. citrus leaf miner damage from the summer. i would cut the damaged leaves. new growth will emerge from the nodes sooner if the damaged leaves/partial branches are removed. that is why i hate the july/august flush.

if you going to use my method, clean the shear blade with bleach then apply neem oil at the open wound. clean shear again when moving to another tree.

try painting neem oil on the remaining trunk. no dilution. i did that on bark with infestation (scale and ants) and it worked. 2 weeks ago i pruned off a whole bunch of of apple pear branches (disease, fire blight). Not suppose to due to pathogen in the air; I believe pruning should be done in the hot summer month. however, the tree look very happy now. I applied the neem oil at the open wounds.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / jackfruit, longans, and wax jambu. akaline or acidic soil?

Hello Tropical Fruit Grower Experts,
I got these trees from TopTropical and plan to put them onto the ground mid-March. Do they prefer alkaline or acidic type of medium. Thanks in advance.

Stuartdaly88,
Good point. Totally agree with your statement. After receiving my tree from Toptropicals, I potted the plant in a 15 gallon with a mixture of perlite, tree soil (kellog;blue color bag), and peat moss to acidfy the medium. White sapote loves it thrive in it (I believe most subtropical plants like to be on the acid side). People say don't use a pot too big relative to the tree. It is true to some extent, but as long as the soil drain well and the root is warm (black pot). I never have root rot, but be careful of the salt built (lost a tree) up over time. Just flush the medium once or twice a month so the salt can leach out.

gneppi,
Preliminary observation: mineral deficiency- can be manganese, magnesium (epsom salt), iron, etc.
: if it was due to wet feet, more likely you have root rot and the tree would die starting from the top downward.
Having to say that, it is best if the sold drain well.
Try epsom salt. I had turn many of my citrus trees into super green with large leaves. White sapote is in the same family with the citrus. What work for citrus will most likely work for white sapote. How do I know? I had a Redland that I put in the ground 2013 summer and did well along with other citrus.Now, it is flushing out like crazy even in the winter. Same watering technique and fertilization. Consult with the citrus forum.
