I don't know much about mangos but recently attended a talk by a grower at our club meeting and he recommended using lie nitrogen ratios. The goal is not dark green leaves but high sugar fruit. I am trying his ideas.

I planted this year Rubt Supreme guava and it offered 6 large fruits in the first three months, very fragment fruit, few seeds and sweet pink flesh, growing very fast as well.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Everbearing Mulberries
« on: August 17, 2017, 08:28:37 AM »
I have three trees now and the t,so oldest bore fruit onc3 in the early summer but nothing since. They look healthy. Where is the everbearing part?

I went to one mango tasting event at a local nursery and found most mangoes had a resinous off taste and were overripe but one stood out, Venus. Now where can I get it and harder yet where do I plant it. Maybe my grumichama cherry if it does not start bearing this spring. It is 4 years old.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Sweet Tart Mango
« on: August 13, 2017, 09:05:31 AM »
A local grower, lets call him Alex told me at a recent fruit club meeting that he is not as keen on sweet tart as he once was because of low production. Of course he is commercial so for dooryard growers it may produce enough.

I have tried ginger but it does not grow. How much sun does it need. I gave tumerics but just learned what they were, used to call them hidden ginger because the beautiful flower is almost hidden down low.

Depends on your zone, soursop won't take any cold less than 50f.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Calcium Helpful
« on: July 21, 2017, 11:09:31 AM »
I attended a talk last night about sapodilla trees and the lecturer recommended calcium for slow growing saps. I wonder if this might be true for other tropical fruits , my Grumichama is very slow growing and not fruiting after 4 years in the ground. A ready source for calcium is sheet rock.

Just got my first fruit from the Ruby Supreme guava. Very nice, yeiilw, tender, few seeds!  Fragrant fruit. Shared it with a friend and now he wants one. We went to 5 places but no luck, but one place has Barbie Pink that is supposed to be as good and larger fruit. Anyone can offer ideas?

Also I have my figs planted in side a 5 Gallon bucket with the bottom cot out then planted in the ground. I saw on YouTube this idea to force the fig roots below the nematode line.

I am originally from Louisiana and sadly have to agree with you about thr Gold, however mine is just a year old so perhaps it tales time. The purple is smaller but better but my old Celeste is the best of the three. The brown turkey is too New to bear any fruit.

A you tuber recommend buying Fiberglas window screen and cutting it in squares.

I have tried using a squirrel feeder device placed in the open and while they are feeding they become prime targets for hawks, the device consists if a spring loaded cable hung from a metal shepherds staff pole. At the ground end of the cable are two eye screws where you screw on dried ears of corn that hangs a foot above the ground. This makes the squirrel stand up to eat the dried corn and is so distracted the are not aware of a hawk swooping down. voila! Nature at work. I bought all pieces of the device from Amazon.
