I'm waiting until after vacation and cold snaps to put my mango in the ground.   I threw some osmocote on the potted plant.   Usually I wouldn't fertilize with synthetic fertilizers when planted in ground, but thought I would put some in the pot.   Tree is about 3.5 feet tall.   Will the osmocote do any damage to the tree.  Just read they don't like too much nitrogen. 

For a mango tree, what have you done as far as fertilization.  Any suggestions?  My mango is in a pot right now but will be planted in the ground in about a month.  I plan on heavy mulching.   Current soil is decently fertile as there have been horses around but otherwise we are in the desert so clay so beneath the good soil. 

Does refrigerating guava change its taste.   I have lots of guava.  Does refrigerating it change its taste or should I keep it at room temperature.

Looking for chocolate persimmon cuttings to buy or trade for anything I have. 

I'll have to get some pictures to post but can't do it for a few days.   Basically, some of the bottom leaves are completely yellow and the top are green on one tree.  On another tree, some of the branches have yellow leaves more towards the part closer to the trunk.   Some of the leaves are brown around the edges.   They sailed through last year and all winter with completely green leaves and almost no leaves dropping.   Only seeing this happening since spring started.   

Incidentally, last year with a ton of growth on one tree, I had no guava fruits.  Maybe too much nitrogen last year.

Please help because there is no info to be found searching the internet on this topic. 

I see lots of red prickly pear around some public areas loaded with fruit.  They are quite red.  When's the usual time to pick them?

Great thanks.  I wasn't sure if the eBay seller was legit.  I will call PIN.

Wanted: coconut cream mango tree.   Need to be shipped to AZ.

I didn't see this in time, and don't have room to grow.  But good for you for spreading the seed!

Need to try this.  Can anyone sell or send me some when I'm in Oahu in June.  I'm thinking maybe it's easier inter-island.    If so, let me know

Nullzero:  What's your method for plucking those tunas from plants (not in your yard).   I see lots of them around, and was wondering how to do it rather quickly.  I saw on youtube, someone using a blow torch, but that wouldn't be an option for me.  There is a really grand one on the property of a public library.  I might be arrested if I were to show up with a blow torch.  They would never believe that I just want to harvest some prickly pear.   I thought maybe just using some pruning shears would work quickly.   What's your method.

Just curious why flying in and out of AZ or NV better?
