Tropical Fruit Discussion / Decomposed granite and how to amend?
« on: March 17, 2018, 03:14:28 AM »
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?

With recent rain, i started to dig out some dirt in my garden for a retaining wall.  The rain soften the soil but i cannot identify soil type.  It is not clay because it is very hard and sandy but it is not sand like the beach sand where everything turn into grains.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cherimoya and atemoya leaves
« on: January 08, 2018, 11:04:48 PM »
Hi All,

Do we strip the leaves now or in feb to generate new growth.  I live in san diego.   I usually let the leaves fall off on their own but i am reconsidering.  I recent finds some orchard in asia strips the leaves and trim the branches twice a year to generate two crops per year.    Thanks.

« on: December 09, 2017, 11:06:21 PM »
Hi All,

I do not know if you can help me.  I am going to vietnam on december 22nd and will bring some scions wood to Mr. Mai Van Tri at SOFR.  http://sofri.org.vn/About.aspx?l=1 He works at a substation of sofri in the south east region, based in Ba ria Vung Tau province. 

My annona collection are young and immature.  However I am able to provide scion wood for an african pride, Lisa, and a red Ilama.

I am writing to ask if you can provide some scions to help him in his research.  Because of his teopical climate, i am asking for atemoya scions.

Thank You,

Mike Doan

I had nothing to do today so i went to ong’s nursery and found his Lisa Atemoya.  He has Lisa in a yellow collor and this color.  I dont know if they are the same kind.  Maybe whrn it is imature it is dark and when it mature it turns yellow. 

Are there different Lisa Atemoya?  I see some that are pink in the forum.
