Tropical Fruit Discussion / Help with damaged trunk on sapodilla tree
« on: January 21, 2018, 01:02:49 PM »
Hi all,
New to the forum. Been reading up and find the discussions very useful. Hoping to get some advice on a problem with my sapodilla tree. I live in South Florida in the Palm Beach area
Bought the sapling from Excalibur (local nursery with an extensive variety of tropicals) in late 2015. Tree has grown slowly but has started to fruit already (this is the first year and I am quite excited). There are about a dozen or so fruit on the tree.
The trunk has been damaged somehow (landscaper?) and I have noticed ants going up and down the trunk. See pictures. Any advice on what I could do a) to mitigate the damage and b) to repair it? Many thanks in advance.
