I add Espoma acid mix and a dusting of SoAg chelated Iron to my Jab's about 4 times a year...more if I see deficiencies. I do this with new seeds/seedlings as well. Water, iron, acidic (fairly-well draining) soil, and a bit-o-sun is about all they need besides normal fertilization. Once you find a rhythm they are no problem. Chris

Ive grown tons of jabo seedlings and i still prefer to have them in a pretty well draining mix that i will water everyday or every other day. They don't seem to like mucky, wet soil-  yes, they love water but they do need to breathe. Some sun exposure is recommended as well.

I too have noticed tremendous root balls on my pineapples. I would have thought otherwise but have found that to be a constant. Chris

Please sign me up Raul. And take great care of yourself, if things get sketchy get the hell out of there. Best regards, Chris

Grow them in Cu Chi Yes. Fruit them No. I was there last winter and it was brutally hot and humid. The leaf eating insects will certainly LOVE cherimoya- thats for certain. Chris

Obviously there are variables involved...especially for us without a picture to see. What direction is your parking area? Is the yard fenced? How much sun does your desired location have? For me, the front yard is off limits to expensive/slow growing fruit trees because my home reno. is not finished and people will inevitably steal the fruit (we have a 20+ft. Mexicola at the end of the driveway and it gets picked apart every year). Wind is a big thing. We have a 40 ft Jacaranda on the side of the driveway thats been there for 80+ years but if that were D. Regia it would get destroyed from a strong Santa ana wind event. Caimito does best in a sheltered location (here at least), cherimoya are fine but it depends on the growth habits and/or your ability to prune them correctly. Abiu is marginal at best, and will not stand up to a fierce East wind/and or a significant frost. Mangos (with a desirable rootstock) would be great for shade but it depends on where you plant them etc. Obviously some grow quicker than others. Good luck, Chris

Fruit fly. Damn you autocorrect! Chris

With your climate that jack will go into beast-mode. I think you'll be ok. Good luck. Chris

Agreed!

If you're worried about the papaya and banana just whack them at shoulder level or so? You guys in Florida have a quick turnaround on growth cycles. Stay safe everyone, Chris

Take care buddy! Hope everyone in the storms path is okay. Chris

Same thing as KnLim000- Envelope without seeds. Seed packet was there minus the seeds. Bummer. Chris

Yes, Little Saigon in OC. We usually go to the mall on on Bolsa and Magnolia. There are a few fruit vendors there but we usually have the best luck at Trai-Cay Ngon. There are many fruit stores in Westminster/Little Saigon. If you ask them, they will tell you what season the fruit you're looking for will come in. Good luck. Chris
