Tropical Fruit Discussion / Soursop and breadfruit protection
« on: February 11, 2015, 08:49:57 AM »
My in ground soursop and 2 in ground breadfruit have been going thru a lot of 49 degree mornings this winter. The soursop is 10 ft high and has blooms all over it.
My breadfruit have lost about 40% of the leaves. Both my breadfruit trees are tarped over and also have quilts added on the top of the tarps. Each has a 1500 watt heaters on them that I turn on as soon as it hits about 60. The soursop has lost about 20% of its leaves. We are suppose to have the coldest night of the year here on Friday night. The weather channel said a low Sat. morning of 40. My local said 43. I might have to tarp the soupsop this weekend. I'm in Cape Coral, Fl. (SW Fl)
Should I chance it?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Everything is starting to bloom?
« on: January 08, 2013, 08:38:15 AM »
I hope all this talk of cold coming is not true.  My Carrie mango is blooming, along with my jack.
With the only cold we had this year was around X mas and lately highs have been in the 80s. 80s for at least the next 10 days, my trees think it might be  "Spring".  :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Thai Green Guavas
« on: January 01, 2013, 11:02:38 AM »
I bought a Thai green guava tree that was about 5 ft tall in May. It is now over 10 ft tall and no 1 single flower or fruit. I was told they produce most of the year.
I had a strawberry Guava before and at 4 ft it was loaded with fruit most of the year.
Im I doing something wrong? I feed it monthly with miracle grow monthly and water. It looks very healthy.
Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / The cold is coming to south Florida!
« on: December 18, 2012, 06:50:11 AM »
Hi All!
As much as I hate to say it.....the cold is coming this Thursday. Lows down to 44 degrees and highs only in the upper 60's.  I have 2 soursop trees, 1 in the ground, 1 I'll be bringing inside.  I also have 2 Jackfruits in the ground. All trees are about 4 ft high. 1 of the Jacks has a small fruit. Should I cover them all up? They are in the SW area of my yard. They do get some wind from the north.  I live in southwest Florida. (Cape Coral)
Thanks for your input!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Asian grey weevil
« on: November 27, 2012, 09:21:49 AM »
Hi,
Has anyone found something that controls Sri-lankan aka Asian grey weevil?  They are not as bad as last year, but I still see them. They have been chomping on my mangoes, soursops, etc.  I put down some benifical nematodes this year, but I'm still having problems. I have done a lot of research on these weevils and have found no control.
Thanks in advance!
Kevin
