Wanted sumo citrus.  Please let me know how to get a sumo citrus in California. 

The area where i live only have 1/2 to 1 foot of topsoil and the rest is decomposed granite.  I only know to add compost and wood chip.  Is there any other way to add nutrients to the soil without worrying that the soil will wash all of the fertilizer away?  Do i need to add calcium, iron, or any other minute minerals?

Behl,

I got the scions in the mail.  I just want to say thank you for the free scions.  It was very professionally package and i greatly appreciate the free scions.

U can grow atemoya in Arkansas?

Paypal sent!!!

I thought the golden Buddha was the next big thing.  It was suppose to be release in limited quantity from Combodia.  It was found in the lost city of “are you kidding me” and “where are they coming up with these names.”    just kidding everyone.  Not to offend anyone.  Do these mango really taste like their name imply like cotton candy?  I need to plant more mango and try more mango to understand what every one is talking about.  California is on its way to growing mango so soon i will know what everyone is describing. 

I am a little intellectually challenge when it comes to campas and Campos Cherimoya.  All i know from here is Campos is from Spain.  Is there differences in flavor, phenotype, or growing conditions between the two?

I work until 10pm and never have a chance to attend the
Meetings. 

I brought back some ilama scions and only two are growing well.  The other died because my in laws over water the rootstoke otherwise it would have continue to grow.  Let’s hope it does well.

See this post. It’s quite an old post but I still do pretty much the same thing except that I also add frequent small applications of Gypsum.

Hi All,

I need help with my african pride.  This year it produce a lot of fruits but non of the fruits are sweet.  Last year i had really sweet brix.  Did i over water the tree or did i not fertilize the tree correctly?  There is absolutely no sweetness to my atemoya.  My tree produce beautiful looking fruits and size.  Please help.  How do i increase sugar in my fruit?  Do i need to add iron, episome salts, or cupper? 

This season, i took the pollen of my african pride and put it on my Phet Pakchong.  The end result is one fruit.  Hopefully it will produce good offsprings.  I will name offsprings trinh or phet african pakchong
