Tropical Fruit Discussion / Joey Avocado in the Freeze

« on: February 21, 2018, 11:15:05 PM »

Hoping someone as good advice on maybe saving this tree. Rather pitiful looking now since the
temps went down to 20 around 3 weeks ago.
It has only been in the ground around 2 1/2 months.
We put pipe insulation around the trunk around 20" up then covered with
heavy material.
This Joey may be able to take cold temps, but maybe not as an newly planted tree.

Also, I was watching a video on cold hardy avocados. Someone posted that there were really no cold
hardy avocados - that vendors were just trying to sell them.

Is there anything to be done to help this tree recover.
Thanks in advance, Carol in Houston

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Kari Star Fruit - Chambola

« on: December 30, 2016, 08:01:42 PM »

:)I would like to get some information on my Kari Star Fruit. I would like another of the same variety. Instead of buying another Kari, I would like to know if I could drape one of the branches down into a pot. Would this root another Kari Star Fruit. The mother Kari is a grafted variety.
I am guessing that this technique could apply to any fruit that is grafted. Isn't this called layering ?

Thanks in advance for all the knowledge !!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Disease on my Apple Tree

« on: February 06, 2016, 12:13:02 AM »

I am asking how to treat this issue with my Apple Tree. Some of the leaves are Yellow with black spots.
I was going to plant a Jujube tree near this apple, but now I am thinking it may not be a good idea.
Thanks Carol
