Watched this video of Truly Tropical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7LB9shELhA and realized that my little kesar is also having mixed mango bloom. Question: Do i need to remove the bud post fruitlet even if it has leaves?

We had an issue with cherry fruit fly last year and many of the ripening cherries having larvae in it. Wondering how others solve cherry fruit fly issue? Planning to apply some peatiside this year as it's flowering now, not sure if that's good way of doing it or there are better ways.

Just for reference, i have a strawberry guava (6-7ft tall), couple of years old (not sure how many as previous owner has planted it). First year after we move, i haven't put any fertilizer or anything. Just water, and it gave small guava but a decent harvest. Next year, out of my knowledge, i try to make not till compost below the tree with Leaves and Grass clippings (no water for compost). Didn't do much and no fertilizer. Next year, it got loaded with guava and also bit bigger than before. The tree was so much loaded that we have to put support below the branches so it won't break with the riped guava. We weren't able to eat all and shared it with friends.

But that was all leaves and grass clippings. So started thinking that i can do that way for my other trees. But wondering if others have also tried that and if they have some best practices that i can follow.

We have a bay area tropical fruit grower Facebook group if any one wants to join and share their tropical fruit that are successful in bay area: https://m.facebook.com/groups/157994961507279?ref=bookmarks

I thought, need to wait for the warmer weather. Did i miss the opportunity? My cherry tree buds are coming up everywhere, can i still graft it now or should i wait for more time?

I got all my cuttings (except mulberry) from CRFG Annual scion exchange, and some of the ppl there mentioned that you can do the root cutting for lot of them (i thought those are for grafting only) and so picked some to try. And seems working for most of them.

I even put them directly in the potting soil for almost a month without any root hormone, and when i bought the rooting hormone, just applied again to all of them (none were rooted or showed sign of roots by that time). And now seems they all showing the growth. It could be the cold weather that caused them to not grow.

I have tried couple of pakistan mulberry cuttings and they seems to be sprouting. Not sure if the roots are formed or not as i can't see it from outside. But want to check, should i keep them outside now, given weather is warming up and to full sun or in shade? Any thoughts on it, i am Zone 9b (San Jose, CA) and day time weather is in 60s to 70s and night time is in 40s - 50s.

Can add Epsom salt. What's the reason for putting it in fabric pot and not providing more sun? Does plastic pot and more not good for blueberry?

It's Hawaiian white guava and in ground from 2 years. It's leaves at the upper part is brown and few leaves at the bottom are green. Last year it tried to fruit 1 guava but it didn't stay long. Is the brown leaves due to lack of nutrition or due to cold weather? I am in zone 9b. Haven't put any protection in winter and it's doing fine.

What is the good location in the yard where we can plant it?

I think, i wasn't clear about ordering online. I meant to order the fruits online so can taste it before deciding to plant the tree. Are there places from where we can order few sample mango of selected varieties to give it a try?

Hello,

I am looking for Pakistan Mulberry cuttings. Any good source from where i can order online or if it's available in bay area locally?

Wow that's lot of tropical trees. Glad they are doing good. I planted Hawaiian white guava (6 ft tall) 1.5 yrs back and it's doing really good here but no fruits yet. Last year it tried to fuit one guava but it didn't last long, hopefully this year it will produce few fruits. Also planted Kesar mango which is doing good in this winter (no damage during one frost night). Hopefully will able to share the pics with them loaded with fruits in few years.
