Looks like sap oozing from a wound / infection at the top of the streak.thanks Har, I'll shoot them an e-mail.
I suggest you e-mail this photo to Dr. Jonathon Crane or Dr. McMillan, both at Tropical Research and Education Center (TREC), in Homestead.
it seams a fire burn that part of the trunk...It's actually kinda moist in that spot. Maybe some disease is attacking it?
How vigorous are they? The rootstock must have some effect on it as Providence is not a vigorous grower. It is actually somewhat to actually being compact.As far as vigour I'm referencing more and faster growth than the other random seedlings I've grafted onto. It seems some of these grafts just push faster than others and with a quicker leafing out. Some others I've noticed that seem to take fast and leaf out are on lemon zest seedlings. I will definitely try experimenting with more seedlings from various mangos this year as there is a definite influence on takes and speed of growth. These also received a constant 5-1-1 and kelp drench with every watering using only rain water. I'm sure the 5-1-1 fish emulsion played a big part as I was trying to push these as fast as possible. Most of my grafts didn't get such special attention but I only had a few pieces of budwood from my tree when I was grafting so I wanted to make them count.
Interesting that banana is listed as poor yet for centuries it is known here in Bermuda to get a banana to produce, lay seaweed around it. (slow release but highly concentrated ocean water minerals).Yes, I've seen bananas growing just off high tide marks also. Maybe a particular variety is more tolerant?
I would like to buy Genova Red and Pajapita seeds if you have them.Pm sent
Thanks
Yeah, I know but my wife wanted a hedge so of course I thought, fruit hedge! Even if I get a couple fruits it's better than having a fruitless hedge. But they do have thorns so they may make the mulch pile one day if they get too unruly.I have a white pomegranate hedge that is growing really nice, though I'm not sure how the fruit is going to be. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm at the house. You can trial different varieties to see how they will be in your area.
Unless you are shearing it that will get quite tall...and shearing it will hamper fruit production.
HelloPm sent
I live in south korea. So it is impossible to buy tree. So Can i buy some seeds of Genova Red illma??
Thanks.
Prickly Pear is an easy option, good chance of survival (you want a good selection worthy of making the trip out to pick them).

If the tree flowered at all then that's one for the record books because fig trees do not flower. All figs sold by nurseries are parthenocarpic which means they automatically create seedless fruit without pollination. Fruits appear on new wood in the fall and sometimes also on one-year-old wood in the spring. They fruit even from a very young age.Yeah, like I said, I know nothing in terms of figs and was going off what they told me. Maybe what they are seeing are aborted fruits?
Thanks stuartdaly88,Pm sent
For mango cuttings there is no need phyto certif, it's only for trees with roots. And they can slip through in a padded envelope.
Find mallika or carrie species is impossible in Europe even in Reunion or Antilles Islands. I tried all. In the USA these species are common so I hope somebody will be able to help me.
My mom dug this picture out of a stack of boxes. She said I use to plant watermelon seeds from our store bought watermelons when I was 4. She said one day she saw me bring my red wagon to the backyard, so she followed me and took this picture..
Come on, Mike...that is you now. Just admit it, its ok
Ha!....I do wish I had a pair of overalls like that now!
Looks like a singlet! Wrastlin the fruit into the ground, haaaah.
Once again propaganda...your sources? Horror stories about fruit trees? What did they do, come alive and eat people? We're lucky to have rare fruit nurseries to begin with! You are targeting a nursery to hurt it! Not only the nursery but the employees who bust their ass everyday in the hot sun while you sit back and make sly comments! But you have been growing fruit trees for about a year plus you keep throwing out Richard Campbell's like you all are best friends! Sheesh, give it a break! And, we don't need a list of every tree your growing every time you post. Please get over it or get off the forum, you bring nothing to it.why are you so butthurt about Excalibur?
Excalibur is the largest retail fruit tree nursery in the area; I see that Excalibur has the potential to be a much better nursery than it is. I have heard a lot of horror stories about Excalibur, but most people requested that I not repeat them.
This is a 24 pound fruit from a red morning seedling. Cleaned was 8.5 - 9 pounds of edible flesh. Ta ste was outstanding and reiterates why I say that a good red fleshed jackfruit is better than a yellow fleshed.
I lost a starfruit tree to Hurricane Isaac flooding, so I suggest planting your tree as high as you can. I got a replacement.The marijuana legalization thread is in off topic!
