Tropical Fruit Discussion / Can Rollinia be "pugged" like a mango tree
« on: February 12, 2020, 11:09:19 AM »
I have a rollinia I am debating pulling from the yard or trying to restart it. If it is cut about waist or chest high (its about 20ft tall now) will it come back similar to a mango when pugged?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Need some help finding ripe sugar apple, custard apple, or atemoya in Broward co
« on: September 06, 2019, 06:52:21 AM »
This will sound like an odd request.  I have an uncle who has been in the hospital for ober a month and really not doing very good.  He is far away from home (Puerto Rico) and never got to go back and visit his birth place Cuba.  I have been bringing him mangoes from my trees and from local groves ever since they have been here. He is a fruit lover and figured with little time he has left to spoil him. I would like to get him a fresh ready to eat sugar apple, custard apple or atemoya to eat today or tomorrow. I can pay or can trade a big Rollinia fruit for a couple sugar apples. Anyone close to Hollywood that may have? Just dont have the time to drive down to homestead. Or know of any place in Broward county that sells sugar apple, custard apple or atemoya? Thanks for any leads.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Red Jabo
« on: June 08, 2019, 04:34:41 PM »
Planted this 25 gallon red jabo 11 months ago. Has started fruiting last November, but just a couple fruit here and there. This week dunno what changed but it has blooms and fruit up to some of the tiniest branches. This is just from one side. Other side has about same. Very happy with this little tree.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Odd question about agricultural expemption.
« on: June 06, 2019, 01:19:40 PM »
I know many that have larger homestead of an acre or more, that get agricultural exemption if they plant x amount of fruit trees etc.... (not sure what the exact definition is) So is it possible to get same exemption on smaller properties if you are using almost all your land for fruit and food growing? No really looking for the tax write off aspect of it, but more so for the ability to prosecute someone for stealing my fruit. I know with out the cops won't care, and the person will just get told to hit the road. But from my understanding, agricultural theft is a felony correct? and degree varies on how much was taken. Could be totally off base, but curious if anyone has tried to do it for a property less than a quarter acre.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Finally my own Rollinia!
« on: September 26, 2018, 11:19:46 AM »
Bought this tree at Excalibur from Rob 2 or 3 years back (forget) last years crop was destroyed by hurricane knocking tree sideways and taking every last leaf, she aborted all the fruit. Still a small tree and recovering from a bad steed from hurricane, she is holding 4 softball sized fruit. And this is the first One to ripen! Found it doing my garden check this morning.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Fernandez custard apple yellowing
« on: September 20, 2018, 01:01:05 PM »
Could this be from too much water causing leeching? Will chelated iron foliar spray help this? Only ends are yellowing, leaves toward tree are dark green.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / How to tell when PPC ready to pick?
« on: September 12, 2018, 07:23:35 PM »
Have a couple PPC on my tree, 2 nice ones. Just curious as to know when to pick em? Segments seem a little tighter or less separated than my sugar apples. Will they give same clues like seperations between segments? color change? or just wait until some give when squeezing?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Fairchild Mango pruning decision.
« on: August 25, 2018, 12:36:46 PM »
Picked the last fruit a couple weeks ago, and got too tied up to prune it. I want to prune it back a bit cuz trying to keep it controlled, but when I got time yesterday, noticed some fresh flush in the tree top. So question becomes, wait till these flushes harden and then prune, or just go ahead and prune now?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Second pruning after initial pruning post fruiting....yay or nay
« on: July 28, 2018, 11:02:36 AM »
So pruned my Pickering after harvesting last fruit from it about a month ago or so. It has flushed since then. I am very much trying to maintain all my trees as small as realistically possible and maintain good fruiting. How would another pruning on an early season mango affect fruiting next year? Thoughts or more importantly does anyone else practice a double pruning and have a few years of experience to share results.
