Tropical Fruit Discussion / Orange sherbert or lemon zest?
« on: September 09, 2021, 12:48:01 PM »
Hello just wondering if what I have is orange sherbert or lemon zest? I bought this scions as orange sherbert but after reading up on it more seems that early on a certain retailer was selling lemon zest as orange sherbert. I remembered somewhere that you can tell by the leaves but couldn't find it anymore.

Simon any brand recommendations that has this?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: 2021 Lychee Season
« on: August 14, 2021, 02:56:48 PM »
Picked my last couple of sweetheart lychee today. Tree is 7 years old this year and 1st official year I let it fruit. We only got a little over 50 fruits but oh boy they were good, juicy clean sweet taste with 100% chicken tongue seeds. We had great flowiering and pollination ratio but 95% of my fruit drops. It was even dropping fruits when they were about size of a quarter. I will try to give same k mag or epsom salt more regularly. Sadly I haven't kept that up the last 2 years.
Majority of fruit does not turn red when ripen. I let a couple of tree top fruit hang well after shoulders swelled and they still didn't turn all red. While there was a handful in the center of the tree that did. Taste was the same. This tree is not a myth. Everything they say is true about these trees. They will fruit in California 10b.

« on: April 21, 2021, 02:05:35 PM »
I have lots of clovers growing pretty thick in my planter. Are they weeds or do they actually help my fruit trees? From what I read they act as nitrogen fixer? Any other benefits?

« on: February 03, 2021, 11:08:30 PM »Gummosis I guess. The tree is not in great health but it can grow out of that over summer if you plant it and give it good care. Ive had new trees have this and grow out of it.
It's already in ground
how would you treat it? My guess was bacteria canker? Maybe shave it down to good tissue?

It's been in ground for one season. I noticed it leaking sap couple months ago. Today I went a removed one of 3 sap balls and this is what I found. Area effected is about 2 feet off the ground. I did buy the tree from Armstrong nursery but would hate to replace if I don't have too. What is it and how can I treat it.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: 2021 Lychee Season
« on: January 30, 2021, 11:15:23 PM »According to that article, lychee buds form 4-6 weeks after pruning.
Here in Southern California our coldest month is February.
We should prune our lychee on New Year Day.
New buds would form in mid February.
The cold trigger the buds into flower buds.
We should try this next year.
Which month is coldest in FL?
Seanny my sweetheart started blooming the same time when this thread was started . It's a 6 year old tree and will be the 1st year I will let it fruit. Wish me luck I do see some vexation growth mixed in with flower panicles but not alot.

This was one of the first tree I put in ground when we bought our 1st house. Many trial and error on my behalf because it was a learning process. Even being through all those crazy socal windstorms it have put on some girth. Look Mom minimal burn tips
