Tropical Fruit Discussion / Squam and Har in very useful video on powdery mildew

« Last post by bovine421 on Today at 05:47:23 AM »

Bravo! excellent video on the subject of powdery mildew and anthracnose. This was truly a public service message because there's so much bad misinformation sprouted by the Facebook over posting gurus. The mango Facebook group is where I saw this video and isn't was amazed how much is being ignored by folks giving bad advice and crying because of their crop loss to powdery mildew. Very happy Har reiterated sulfur on powdery mildew and copper on anthracnose. I don't know how much more free advice Alex could have gave without asking for a consultant fee. These two Dynamic duels truly love the mango community and this is their passion.

Perplexed

It seems to be in a decent shape. I though it grows in a really ugly way but it looks just like a poncirus tree
Damn I really wanna plant a bunch of these and wait a decade to have my cold hardy citrus orchard lol

Awesome job Simon! I purposefully didn’t graft on a male branch so my tree would have en extra year of growth without fruit set. It’s pushing a ton of new growth right now.
Looking at your fantastic photos though, makes me think I should graft a male branch on so it has all year to heal before next season. We still have “May Gray“ and “June gloom“ahead of us so I think I have at least 2 1/2 months for healing and growth before hot summer months.

My tree will definitely be ready to hold fruit next year and probably could’ve this year.

So many peoples dreams are about to start coming true with trees coming into production! It’s pretty amazing. Thank you for all your help as always, Simon.

For me they've been pretty vigorous compared to other plinias, I can go from seed to a full 1g size in about a year.
As for the self compatibility I haven't really known plinias to have an issue with it but I mostly know mangos and annonas so I maybe be mistaken.

Thanks for that info about speed of growth, Skhan.

It's helpful to know.
