Drywall here is reinforced with fiber.
I would get itchy when I work with it.
I won't want it in any yard.

I see some feed places selling encapsulated gypsum for $10/50 lb.
I see some places are selling them for golf courses.
Ewing Irrigation is selling them from $8 to $50 for a 50 lb bag.

First time I saw Booth 7 I thought it was Reed.
I bought 1 but couldn’t eat it.
It was very stringy inside.

One of my trees with fruits is showing severe problem.
Most likely potassium deficiency.

Have you added potassium? How are those leaves looking?

That tree will send suckers all over your yard, neighbor's yard, and beyond the sidewalk.
You should dig it up and put in a big pot.

Also should I be prunmy Annona reticulata? I has now grown some 15feet tall and some of the fruit are way beyond reach.

Thanks

You prune to what ever height you like. There is no wrong way.

I keep my trees small because I like to have many trees rather than a few large trees.
I keep my trees short because I don’t like to use a ladder to hand pollinate the flowers.

If you have room you can leave your trees big like Brad and Frank.

Most of my guava cleft grafts have flattened graft unions, meaning poor graft unions.
Now I prefer bark graft.

I’m doing the same, throw them on pavers then step on them.

You should coat the wall to block water from penetrating into the blocks.
The neighbor's side would get nasty stains.
The wall get damage over time if there is no water barrier.

Here in OC people bring their potted sugar apple trees into the garage on cold nights.

Good looking tree.
I won't touch it until after next frost.

According to Yonemoto, the colder the chill, the more flowers the mango tree produces.

I like to tie fiberglass rods to the outside of air-pot to train my trees.




The left branch is smaller than right, due to failed graft.
It used to be 1/2 the size of the right.





I cut tips off the new shoots on the right branches. I keep only 9 leaves.
I cut tips off the new shoots on left branches in mid June.
I let new shoots grow, to increase the size of the left branch.
I’m expecting the left branch to be same size of right branch by end of this year.

Atemoya grow well in my yard.
They get bigger every day.
I don’t salvage every branches nor leaves.
I pinch tips and remove branches and leaves often.
I’m more interested in maintaining my atemoya to 4’6, than to get big trees for high productions.

If you like to use ladders, go ahead and train a branch for central leader.
Your tree will be 10’ tall next year.

1. Cut off small branch to make node pretty. I don’t like a crotch with 3 branches.
    That oversized leader doesn’t need help from that small branch.

2. Cut tips off the 2 largest branches, do not remove leaves, to force better growth on the other 2 small branches.

3. Tie some stakes to the outside of air pot. Tie ropes from stakes to tip of branches to pull them vertical.

I have an atemoya tree with low crotch like yours. I’m ok with it.

You got a great deal!
