Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What is wrong with my Red Jaboticaba?
« on: February 26, 2024, 05:27:15 PM »
it's possible it's water because it rained a lot for past weeks and pot tray is not helping too.  I am going to removed tray and bring in cover patio.  hope it bounce back.

thank you guys for your inputs.

Couple of noticable issues. They are in too large of a pot for their size which is probably causing anaerobic conditions. Turning red like what your plants are showing is similar to cold temps negatively effecting the plants.
we had couple nights in high 40°F.   blue pot is 1 gallon and yellow is 2 gallon pot..  are they still too big for them? 


I have heard that jabos prefer slightly acidic water, do your own research first bc im not 100% sure.
they are in peat moss soil.  I believe it's acidic .

Great to know there is variety similar to guanabana taste.  I have very limited space and will keep my eye on it.  Please let me know when you're fruited.

I agree to everything Greenerpasteur said.  I love all of them atemoya, cherimoya and guanabana.   They bring back my childhood memories and remembering my grandparents & orchard.  I left my country over 30yrs.  I wasnt allow to go back after they passed away already.

I totally picture it in shower 2 yrs :).  I hope your project goes well and it's doing great this year.   
I got mine in spring from local group fundsraising.  It was a piece of stick 7ft tall, no leave and dying toothpick branches.  I forgot to take a picture of it.   About 3 weeks or month later, I decided it to cut down to 18 inches and used cuttings to graft .  I grafted 6 pieces on cherimoya, atemoya and only 1 success.  Here they are still pushing new growths and 4ft now.   I  leave 1 close to neighbors brick fence and other under my patio facing West.  Couple places that I read, it could handle low 40°.  My brother lives in Garden Grove and left his seedling under patio during last winter.

Sorry to bring this old thread.  I bought it pass spring and it's doing great pushing out branches so far.  I'm curious anyone success fruiting it?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: When and where to tip a mango
« on: September 27, 2023, 11:40:22 AM »
if you just got this few months ago, you don't know seller just transplanted or up potted it.  I would wait to make sure it's adapt to your area, healthy and push out new growth. 
as far as tipping it, knee high is good too depending on your goal.   i am Socal dont have much space, i tip it at knee high or lower depend on fruit tree and location.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Is Keit mango this big normally?
« on: September 10, 2023, 02:35:56 PM »
Wow!!! That's huge.   About 3-4 yearago, I bought some fruits  but weren't this big and we like it.  I heard it's consistent  and productive.  So I bought a tree just over 2 years ago still in pot and planning to put in ground soon.  Now I see this, I'm not sure it's worth to plant
or graft it as backyard grower.  It'll be big tree to handle big fruits.

Tony, your fruits and tree looks good. Do you know what variety your tree is?
Seems to be a late ripening variety.
 
Mine is 99% Brewster grafted on longan.   Don't know that causes late ripen.  This is still earlier than previous seasons.  I water 2-3 times a week and 1 of them is  heavy watering.

« on: March 11, 2023, 12:30:52 PM »
Hi guys,

I got this Manila mango tree from big box store as rootstock.   I have it in container for about 3 yrs and just put it in ground today.  I just saw this look like flower.  Is that right? Has anyone have experiences
Or thoughts about it?
