The tree is shaded now. Though that does little to protect the Tree from peripheral heat which is still over 100 degrees. We shall see. I am not completely bummed out since i have one lychee that is doing well. The Sweetheart was new to my yard, and even though it was shaded, it took the heat the hardest hands down. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope it lives, cause im going to have to get in the car and drive over 2 hours to find another one if it doesnt.😩

Yes, we hardly get rain, though i water plenty. And our humidity levels are crap. I dont know. I am out in no mans land here. I love exotics, so im willing to try most things at least once. I mean so far i have learned that Mamey seems to be very tolerant of high air temps, as long as they are sufficiently watered. We will see what else i learn from them.

I will keep you updated. There is stories of fruiting mamey in so cal in san diego/LA area. We are in the low 30's in this area. That is the coldest i have seen it. Should be interesting

I have heard that coconuts do not like temps below 40. I planted one here earlier in the spring. Doing fine so far. We will see what the winter holds.....it promises to give me the biggest challenge in winter protection here.

I have a couple of jujube trees. The Li i had started to drop fruit, and the fruit was shriveling prematurely. Someone on here mentioned that because my tree was in a nursery plastic pot, and it was really hot out, the roots were likely being burned. I switched trees to a fabric pot. Moral of that story, the tree lost all its fruit, but it is doing much better overall now, and it has some fruit coming in new. Jujubes are sensitive to root rot, but i notice they are pretty thristy when they are fruiting.

I can get pics in a little while. I am keeping the tree shaded as much as i can. It gets a few slivers of very early morning sun. But hidden the rest of the day. As far as i can tell, it isnt rootbound, and would likely not survive a transplant. I keep it moist, but not overwatered. I could try bagging the tree, i do worry a bit about the heat levels though. Our temps are still around 110 daily. In the shade, where it is located, probably high 90's. Our growing season is long here, and we will have very nice temps into november probably, so it shouldnt get hit with cold temps anytime soon.

I have a sweetheart lychee that i recently bought at a nursery in LA, and right after i bought it, a heatwave hit the area, and we have been experiencing temperatures in the high one hundred teens and 120's. Despite being shaded, the tree has been dropping leaves, and the leaves are all burned to a crisp. I have another lychee that is doing great, so i know they can take the heat. This one just wasnt ready for it. So, i was wondering if there was anybody out there that knows of a lychee recovering from this kind of heat stress, or is my little tree toast?

I dont think i can get any of those where I am. I found a nursery in LA that sells Gefner, and regular African Pride, not Super, and I have not seen those other varities. Where are they sold?

Generally, my grounded trees have fewer issues. At the moment, i am kinda tied up becAuse of the extreme heat i dont want to risk planting anything right now. Plus a lot of my trees are too small to go out on their own. I am going to look into the fabric pots. I have heard that those are much friendlier to potted plants.haven't been home yet, so i will see what awaits me today. I will say i have several other potted plants that are quite content right now. So, this seems to be a certain species/certain plants type pickiness. All of my mango trees are loving life...so...

So, as everyone knows, California has been engulfed in a freak heatwave over the last few days. Today and tomorrow we are expecting temps in the 120's. I have Several new fruit trees that i have added this spring. Most of my trees are young, and relatively small, so they are confined under a patio, where there is shade provided and they have filtered light throught most of the day. I have a seedling longan, a couple of seedling jackfruit, a seedling mamey, a grafted mamey, a sugar apple, papaya, and atemoya among others. Temperatures have been over the 100 degree mark for a few weeks now, and none of the trees have really batted an eye; however, today i am noticing the first signs of heat stress on some of the trees. My grafted mamey had some of the new growth leaves scorched, but the seedling sitting right next to it received no damage. The seedling jackfruits took no damage, but a grafted jackfruit that is in the shade all day has sunburn on some of the leaves. The sugar apple is damage free, and the atemoya are all fine. My curiosity comes from why some trees of the same type have no damage while others struggle.....

We are of course currently in a heat wave. Today's expected high is 113. It should be about 93-95 where the tree currently resides

Superthrive is a vitamin supplent. Concentrated. Dulution ratio is 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. It does say it can be used daily, monthly, weekly...it isnt fertilizer. It is just a vitamin. It is supposed to be used in conjunction with a fertilizer.it can be added to the soil, or foliar which is what i am doing

Pictures if they help
