I base my mixture off Bill Whitmans 50 years of research.  I know it sounds dangerous using chemical fertilizers, but elementally the plant uses the same base elements found in either source.  Also, I used a product called Organocide once and it killed half my vegetable garden.. I have had nothing but awesome results using my current mix, and my girlfriend still has a skin condition using her organic clay facewash... On the bright side, she thinks it helps so I guess thats what matters!

Figured I get this one going again..

Its pretty normal to see, I believe its caused by nursery watering practices...

Ha Ha!

1/2 Tbs of Sequestrine per gallon is what I am using. I get the Sequestrine from Winfield Solutions in Boynton Beach Florida, I also get the Class Act Spread/Stick from there.

I buy my SO AG on ebay in 1 Gallon, using 1Tbs per Gallon

I buy the PhytoFos online from a distrubutor in Palm Beach... I cant locate the info.. I use the one that is all Potassium, no Phosphorus. 1Tbs Gallon

The copper I use in a very dilute manner, maybe a teaspoon or less per gallon. (granular)

I am very careful not to use Horticulural Oil for at least two weeks on my citrus, and I havent seen any ill effects from that concentration as of yet!

Let me start:
Julia Morton's "Fruits of Warm Climates" - http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/index.html

I agree that Purdue has some great resources.  Here's another one from Purdue, slides from a course on tropical horticulture:

Here are another two good online online books for specific tree crops:

If you go to my megalinks page i think you can see links to most of the great websites about tropical fruits. I also have a list on that page of tropical fruit books you can read free online: http://www.fruitlovers.com/megalinks.html

PS i've yet to put up a link to this forum but will do that soon if moderators would like that?

Why we would be honored of course!!

That thing is huge.. I beginning to wonder why all the people you come in contact have huge fruit?? Are you radioactive?? Kidding of course!!

Dan, how old is your Mangana Mamey? How does it handle the cold??

Picture full grown trees when planting.. Also I starting planning on how much maintenance I would want to create 15years from now.. My age then, and whether or not you have good waste removal in your community.. That you dont have to really process the debris (size requirements, bundling, limits to amount per week).  I guess the standard high density planting would be no less than about ten feet on center between trees??

For those who are concerned..
We have plenty of storage space for huge lists, so no excuses! Let's see your lists!!
 If Harry can do it anyone can! (kidding Harry)..

At our current rate of growth we have used about 1/1000000 of the current storage space, and are locked in for years to come!

It takes a little work, but as Murahilin stated, if you use the [br] in between each entry in a notepad or other word processor with single spaces between entries, then copy and paste the whole text into the "Fruit Trees" field under the forum profile tab, it works really well!

Its pretty much a standard in any modern forum that involves collecting!
