Tropical Fruit Discussion / Few questions: Mamey sapote, mango, ground cover
« on: January 27, 2018, 10:15:34 AM »
Happy weekend !
Looking for some guidance on these questions:
1. My 6ft grafted mamey sapote is heavily loaded with tiny fruits. Having seen a full sized fruit at a store, I wander if I should thin the fruit or just ignore and let it do its thing.
2. My small Pickering mango developed black patches on branches, something that looks like mold. Any thing to worry about? Should I us a bleach or something to try and wipe it ?
3. I found this pretty ground plant cover in a park and brought a stem home, planted next to a tree. It is spreading well. Is this a good cover around fruit trees (like the avocado in the photo) or will it compete for nutrients and water too much ? Will it attract any bad insects ? Good insects ?
Sorry I am all over the place with these questions.
I live in Palm Beach county in FL.
Photos are attached.
Thank you for your wisdom and advice !
