Who makes it? What is also important is the minor package it has. Can you post the complete makeup?
Oh yes Rob will take good care of you! Rent a truck empty your bank account and go visit Rob! They have SOOOO MANY beautiful trees! GOOD LUCK! And yes east sideof the road can't miss them!Excalibur has a good selection however they are in Lake Worth.
As far as varieties, I would recommend the following:
Raja Puri
Dwarf Red
Dwarf Namwa
Sweetheart (FHIA 3)
Glui Kai
Pisang Raja
I've been thinking of making a trip up there, may try to do it this weekend although I'm terrified of what I might come home with!Thanks for the input!
Use 8-3-9 and you could supplement with liquid minors. Has it always had the yellow leaves? It looks otherwise healthy from what I can see, I do not see any obvious deficiency in the majority of the leaves.Tree is healthy otherwise, some of the green leaves have small black spots on them, and the yellowing just started about a month ago, I will try more fert and more water until the rains come! thank you guys for your help as always!
When you say water deeply, is that hose watered?The soil is rock about 8" down, yes hose water, no grass around the trunk has a 3 foot mulch ring 4" deep, been in the ground 1 1/2 years, Rob what type of fertilizer (NPK ratio) should I use?
How long has it been in the ground? What is your soil like? Coral springs can have an abundance of rock.
Hard to tell but it looks like the grass is close up to the trunk. If I am correct, I would pull back away in a 3 foot radius. Apply mulch liberally leaving a 12" - 18" area free around the trunk. Fertilize and make sure it gets sufficient water. At least three times a week with the weather we have been having.
Jeff, I have pics, Bt for some reason there are not loading from my phone.... will try again later to post them for you.I use PVC pipe and make a V shape and then buy a 10 foot long piece of 5/8" pipe cut to the right height and prop it under the branch.... good thing is you can use it year in and year out.... you can make them for a few dollars each and they will last you a life time. P.S DO NOT GLUE THEM TOGETHER, that way you can always adjust the height.
Do you have a picture that you could post?
.22 caliber rifle. An orchards best friend. Yeah I like my guns. I pop squirrels regularly. I need a high powered BB gun for deer. Sting but not penetrate the hide, but scare the hell out of them. I want them to associate my property and my fruit trees with pain and fear hehe.Paintball gun works great to scare them off and you know if they come back they are painted! lol
Another route is Guinea fowl. Mean little birds that don't allow anything into their territory they don't recognize and they love eating pest bugs and don't scratch the place up like chickens. Plus they act as a fairly decent alarm system is someone comes onto the property. Trying to convince my wife to let me get a small flock. Supposedly they will clear an acre of ticks inside of six months. My neighbors are all for it hehe.
