Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mango spray regimen
« on: February 01, 2015, 08:35:23 PM »
I'm not very familiar with exclusive fungicide or pesticide treatments for mangos but maintaining a trees general health goes a long way in preventative maintenance. IMHO healthier tree = stronger tree. In other words a very healthy tree may be more capable to deal with blight. I am pleased with Southern Ag Citrus nutritional spray with S Ag neem oil. I havnt been diligent about spraying every few weeks but I still notice a difference.

Maria's or clonex work. A heatpad will improve your success rate dramatically and is worth every penny. From what I can remember the cuttings all rooted around 2-4 wks.

Without a doubt Green Jungle Nursery on Goldenrod. Contact Bob and tell him Marley sent you (407) 277-7444. I almost got a LZ last weekend as he had some nice ones however I had to stay focused on a Malika and Carrie I went there for:) Most of his trees are really nice and his prices can't be beat. You will be very happy you went.

Gary, No BS I have yet to harvest any of my own peaches yet. I currently have a tropic beauty, Prince, and UFO that I planted in the summer. I have plucked off the blossoms as they have appeared. From what I've heard they grow around 2-2.5 in. I can't wait until the next flush and bloom so I can get my first harvest. I've heard the Tropic Sno is all time in terms of flavor.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Top Pruning Loquats
« on: January 29, 2015, 10:11:05 AM »
Rob, Im not really sure. They look to be around 4+ yrs old and were already on the property when we moved in. The leaves and growth habit look a little different between the two trees which were planted approximately 40' feet apart. I'll have to post some pics. Both are fruiting heavily now. If two feet is a bit low what would you recommend? You think it will just throw out more suckers or start new lateral shoots?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Top Pruning Loquats
« on: January 29, 2015, 09:01:44 AM »
I have a loquat tree that is tall and lanky with the first lateral branches occurring around 5-6'. How would it respond to topping it back to around 2' after fruiting? Will new growths form on the trunk or will it just send a thousand new shoots up from the bottom? If the later is true I may as well just cut the tree flush with the ground and select 1 dominate shoot to train into a new tree. Thanks.

Over the summer, during the vegetative cycle I successfully rooted a handful of cuttings fro my purple passion using clone gel, clone dome, and peat pods. However, tried to do the same thing after flowering had begun and none of them took. I think a better success rate can be had by propagating at the right time.

Sorry to offend anyone. Im a rather new Patricipant on this forum and didn't know. Do you personally have a problem with someone offering to sell high quality trees? I guess it's hard for me to follow your logic on "taking".

Most definitely underrated! On top of being delicious they are beautiful trees and attract many pollinators. I've lived all over florida and they have grown well just about everywhere. Cocktail sound righteous, please keep me posted.

Saffron - You could put me down for a novak, vista white, and aiden. I have two unknown varieties on my property currently fruiting however I don't know if they are any good.
How would loquats respond to being topped about waste high at the trunk?
How do they respond to air layering?

I'm thinking about building a blueberry box and was wondering what an ideal mix of soils, mulch, amendments would be. Does anyone have successes with any particular product and ratio? Additionally, which cultivators are best suited for 9b Orlando. Thanks!

Great question Rob. From what I can remember it was a clingstone variety.
