1st I thought it might be just old leaves but I saw similar thing on my small lychee tree too......all trees are in full sun

i'm exploring a fast and easy way to shade or protect my trees from high winds.  The main tree I want to protect is my sweetheart lychee it's about 7ft tall now and just as wide.  I always lose a branch or two in high winds but nothing to bad this past year.  The last scrotcher toasted 40% of it's leaves thankfully no damage to the branches.   The best solution so for is those instant screenhouse but the height of those are only 7 and half feet tall.

something like this.....but I will have to add 2 to 3 feet to the poles to increase the height....replace the roof with shad cloth

anybody have another better idea?

Hi All,

So my sir prize graft took it's been about 2weeks since  it flushed from bottom right node of the scion.  My question is should I prune the top part of the scion where i marked it? the growth came out pretty nice and straight so thinking about keeping that as the tree. I was concern that there is alot of energy stored at the tip of the scion and if I cut it.  it might kill the graft?  I'm i just over thinking this? not just this but for other grafts as well do you prune part of scion to shape your trees.....or should I  wait awhile before doing that?

so my lemon tree finally died....when we moved in it was already in bad shape.  I tried to save it but it finally croaked.  So mango or cherimoya?  I already have two mango trees in ground but wouldn't mind another.  No cherimoya in ground yet but I have lots of room for container trees and only one spot in ground.  And I feel cherimoya fruits better in pot vs. mangos.  Does being in a container effect the quality of fruit for cherimoya?  I  don't mind a couple fruit a tree but is the quality of the fruit is the same? What's your thought?

heads up lychee lovers I even found a store was on sale for 1.39lb. 50%of it was mehhhh 10% was top notch fragrant and very yummy the other 40% was yummy....all in all for 1.99lb it's a steal. I'm pretty sure it's Brewster=big seed very juicy and has that rosy fragrance to it

i have a knight cherimoya looking to trade for campos cherimoya, Phoenix, sweet tart or Maha Chanok

1st batch of seeds no good 2nd batch was from fresh fruit.....they sprouted but seems to be stuck at this stage.....its been 3 months like this.....i water once a week to keep the mix moist and keep it in  shade.  it's in half gallon milk carton.  I gave it a bit of fish/seaweed to try to give it a kick but still nothing.  A total of 5 cartons with 3 seeds in each and every single one of them is doing this

also known as perfume flower this is the white variety
$5 per scion minimum 5 will be wrapped in parafilm

googled it and they say either wait until they split or hit it for metallic sound.  big and small sounds all the same???

my understanding is that calcium sulfate has neutral ph where as sulfur would lower it.  if I'm already using calcium sulfate can I still use sulfur to lower my ph? I just afraid of sulfur overdose.  if I can appply at same time or wait a couple weeks apart?

only have 1 space for an avocado tree and I love reed but I want to prolong my avocado season a bit?  I love the way reed taste and I like that they aren't too vigorous I like sir prize too but heard it's extremely vigorous.   Thanks for the input in advance

are they the same?
