Thank u all. I already bought a barbados cherry.


Please close this thread mod.

If you are talking about the hass variety & reed. I would go for reed.
However, if u talk about Sir Prize Hass / Lamb Hass. Reed will not compete im my taste buds

I had 2 guavas unprotected with a temperature of 29f for 2 straight nights & it did not harm the tree.

I have great success using three different sources of rock dust, worm gold plus, eco scraps compost, boogie brew compost tea, pure protein dry (fish meal), sea90 & dr earth planting mix upon transplanting.

Then as a maintenance/ foliar feed & drenching the soil, i infuse the beneficial microbes.
I use boogie brew compost tea, pure protein dry, sea90 & i add worm gold plus.


Every 3 months, i sprinkle rock dusts on top of the soil.


Azomite will never work if you dont have the beneficial microbes (good bacteria & fungi).

All that I use are OMRI listed.

Plus I use 4-6 inches of mulch such as dried leaves, grass cuttings, pine needles.

And i never use water that came straight from the hose. I use a water filter to reduce/ eliminate the chlorine.

All that i do will be useless, if i dont filter my water, chlorine will kill the microorganisms.


I never got bug problems when i used these products.
In fact, i attracted lady bugs, praying mantis or any other beneficial insects mostly on my citruses.

Aphids were not of a problem anymore on my veggie section.

So yummy...



Go Duterte.

Take back my time...

Did u happen to get a avocado yet?


Im thinking getting brogdon from Lynn...

Chris, some local nurseries claim they are the authentic barbados cherry but the truth is they are another relative.

Did u happen to buy 1?

As topic states, preferably the Florida Sweet variety.

Thanks

This tree was described to me by the seller as an "Australian" type. Is this fruit ready to be picked? Should I wait for it to soften up a bit?
Thanks,

What variety is that?

I use Sea90 salt as an alternative & dilute it to 1tsp to 1 gallon as natural products from the sea contains 90+ trace elements which the soil does not contain nowadays.

Any photos for the tamarind? Thanks
