Maybe someone ELSE should make the videos with Harry speaking and eating on the video! I live too far away...

I love the Crane videos too. I like seeing the trees as well as the fruit growing on them.

Copper destoys fungus, just like an antibiotic kills all bacteria.. The downside is that not a fungi are bad, some in the soil for instance, are very beneficial and help protect and strengthen root systems and transfer. So by overspaying Cu you may actually hurt the trees root system, not to mention an overload of Cu can be toxic to the plant itself.

I wonder if anyone has a story of actually hurting their plant by overapplying copper? I'm sort of new to spraying my trees so I can't speak from experience here.

Hi. My name is Whit and I have a few young mango trees, etc. growing in ground in my yard in Vero Beach, FL. I plan to share photos on the forum of all this soon.
I love to hang out in my yard, looking at the leaves, noticing small changes. Love being outdoors... it's therapeutic, right?

I lived on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica for 9 months, and have traveled to a number of areas in Central America. My parents have a house in The Bahamas where they are growing some fruit too. My first real exposure to tropical fruits was as a child when I lived in Kenya (spent over 2 years in Kenya). There was a small mango we used to eat green, out of hand, and it was sort of like eating a resinous, sour apple, but we loved it as kids. We would sometimes even eat the skin. I also loved the tree tomato, passion fruit, and pineapples we had there.

My avatar is a water apple in Costa Rica having just shed its incredible hot pink blooms.

I recently found the tropical fruit forum on GardenWeb, so I am familiar with some of the regular posters there, but that forum was hard to use/post pictures to, so I wasn't a contributor there. Glad that this forum is up and running!
