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?
Fortunately for me, my Spicezee tree has no disease issue so far. Try googling, there are many remedies posted in the Net on this pest. As JF suggested, I've been letting the fruits hanging on the tree as long as it can, they tend to rapidly grow in size in the last couple of weeks; besides getting juicier and sweeter too!
I've been picking them a few fruits everyday, and the maturing fruits seem to cooperate with my schedule...
(instead of all the fruits mature in just one/two week(s) then it's over)...
Highly recommend this tree!
