nice looking photo Brad, wish my wife could post like that, she is just learning to post to e-mail and facebook thought we would be able to transfer them over but no luck,do not know what you are going to do when your trees get larger, might need to start eyeing you neighbors yards for more space .        Regards     Patrick

i just went online to baker creek and could not find the papaya seeds, ? so where/how are you guys finding them??        Patrick

Cherimoya  ARE NOT true to seed also a ungrafted tree takes much longer to produce than a grafted tree  best to plant the seeds now and graft on them next year. i have one of my trees that always fruits early so i have fresh seeds now if you want to come by and get a few.         Patrick

Hi All, i have a 20 yr. old mango tree that has never been pruned , it is almost done fruiting for the year. I would like to add a few more varieties to it to extend my season different flavors would also be nice,my question is should i do some severe pruning now to get new growth and prune on that or what.??             Patrick

Hi all, i have heard / read a lot on this however how do you know if what you buy is even alive i bought a bag of  "Mykos pure Mycorrhizal inoculant "in the spring and used it in my raised beds and some potted plants i also used it in my potting mix for my seedlings,the thing is when i dig in to these i see no signs of any growth , so 3 weeks ago i took 2 cups of very moist Alfalfa pellets along with 2 heaping tablespoons of inoculant  and i put it in a coffee can with a lid and a couple holes in it, i see NO GROWTH YET.so my question is how do you test this stuff when you buy it to know if it is alive or not ??         Regards       Patrick

Hi All, can someone tell me how  "if it is possible "to move/transfer a photo from facebook to the TFF .          Patrick

Behl,  stop the chain saw DOOOOO not cut it down it WILL NOT CHANGE SEX try moving the pot to where you do not get so much reflected heat from your house  you can move it back around nov. when the nights cool of they do not seem to enjoy the hot reflected heat so much especially when in a pot , also the height of the tree has nothing to do with flowering      Patrink

i was given 2 tubers this spring,i put 1 ea in 15 gal pots just for temp. growing very well however my flowers do not look like small sunflowers at all they are red or yellow or mixed ,they open at night for and close in the morning they also smell like honeysuckle at night only, every bloom produces a seed , i put 11 seeds in a baggie with a damp paper and 7 have sprouted after 5 days  i clipped the tip of the seed off with nail clippers.             Regards     Patrick

one fun thing you can do with long air layers 6'or so is to take 3-4-5-6 of them and braid them together they will fuse themselves together and will be self supporting .
