Tropical Fruit Discussion / Zinc and its application to the Mango Tree
« on: April 23, 2012, 11:42:13 AM »
Since Zinc usually is not brought up as a topic.  I thought it would be a good idea to cover it in a thread and learn from each other.

I am interested in knowing the different forms that our tropical fruit forum members are supplying the Zinc needs for Mango trees:

Are you using Foliar sprays containing Zinc, if so which one and how much per year are you applying?

Are you using Fertilizers containing Zinc, if so which one and how much per year are you applying?

Are you using another method to apply Zinc, if so which one and how much per year are you applying?


Zinc can help to avoid Mango Decline according to this article:

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Dream Atemoya, a variety that fruits in FL ! Introduced by Wayne Clifton
« on: February 28, 2012, 09:40:04 PM »
I have heard Cherimoyas do not do well in Florida, but, thought I would ask this anyways. ;D  Is anyone growing Cherimoyas in Florida?


Update 9/2/2014:

Changed Subject of thread from:

Dream Cherimoya, a variety that fruits in FL !  Introduced by Wayne Clifton

To:

Dream Atemoya, a variety that fruits in FL !  Introduced by Wayne Clifton

Reason: New information shows that the "Dream" variety of Annona is possibly an Atemoya instead of a Cherimoya.
