Thanks Simon, Sapote, Oolie, alangr088, mangomanic12 for your advice.  I went ahead and took off all fruit.  The new graft is pushing well and I'm getting vegetative growth on the existing grafts.  I'm looking forward to next year.

Sapote - it's a laverne tree so probably manilla.



Rick i would listen to Oolie, remove all the fruit. If you want any vegetative growth next year....i would.
I think your tree is too small to hold all that fruit. I'm interested to see a pic of that tree next year at this time. If it grows great for you, if it doesn't lesson learned.
Let the tree fill out more before you let it hold fruit.

Should I be thinning down the number of fruit?  I have about 25 mangoes.  The tree is about 6 feet with most of the fruit on the maha chanok graft.  The other is Carrie.  I recently grafted honey kiss on one branch, if you’re wondering where all the vegetation went.

Thanks.

Thanks

Here’s my lemon zest and maha on manilla rootstock.  It’s recovered well after the cold winter.

My first year in-ground spicezee is flowering nicely.  I agree with Samu that it’s going to be a good year.

I had a great transaction with Astronics1 (Michael).  Very nice guy. Scions came wrapped and sealed.  Thanks for the extra scions!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Bottom of cherimoya fruit turned brown
« on: August 27, 2018, 08:21:32 AM »
Does anyone know why this happened?  I have it on a few of my cherimoya fruit.  I was thinking heat damage but these were mostly shaded by the leaves. The brown area is hard and doesn’t appear to be getting larger.



Thanks

After reading these posts about the spicezee, I just planted one. Hope to have the quality and yields I’m reading about!

By the way, how do you handle the thrips?

JF when you say strip do you mean strip leaves or lightly prune as it seems in your pics?

Jani
Both. This is for SoCal what we are doing is trying to induce flowers by May so we can hand pollinate. We need these fruits to ripen by late sept not in the winter

Frank, what's the purpose of the pruning in August? Won't the tree have fruit still growing on it?

Thanks
Rick
Rick
Thats to control size....you've seen how fast they grown in 2 years at my house..I wait until they set fruits and prune

Makes sense. Thanks Frank!

Frank, nice crop! 

How does the late crop do in comparison to the first? Comparable taste and size?
