When you say ridge what are you referring to as I have no clue
Thanks I was just reading that and I prefer the nematode method for sure. I was also reading vinegar will instantly kill the larvae weevil but I’m not sure about dousing the dirt with that
Hey folks I have one emperor in Okeechobee still in a pot I think 6/8 gallons and it’s doing great it’s been in dappled shade and its really been ignored for long while’s since I travel for work. In Stuart I have a Mauritius that I’ve put in the ground since last year. It started out great right before the hurricane. It’s been struggling since to bounce back I’ve recently added some shade to it and I can already see the difference with pushing a new flush. I do have a major pest thankfully it’s not LeM, but I can’t find anything seeming to work against these guy except manual squish. They are small white beetles and they eat the leaves I believe called Sri Lankan weevils.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Anyone have any experience with Razz Matazz? It is suposed to be a seedless muscadine hybrid that is semi-everbearing. It was produced by Jeff Bloodworth in North Carolina. I have been very curious about how it would do here.
I'm in Gainesville and ours is healthy, but the grapes are so small!
I guess we came away with different perceptions from the same information. I didn't view that level of canopy loss as an indication of remarkable hardiness.
Well, in comparison with gold nugget or a navel which would have died outright, it's hardy. Compared to Satsuma, it's not very.
So in comparisonwith non satsumas that's pretty good .depends on the comparison..
Looking for some assistance please. I was admiring my Venus trees today and happy that it's about to send out blooms. But on one of the branches, I saw a lot of dark spots on the limbs. Is this normal or something to be concerned over?My dear friend Burt passed from Covid on this day. I miss that crazy old guy. He liked getting Haden from our tree.
Galatians read the study and ill attach his post. Basically the amount of annonacin in atemoya is very low compared to paw paw. Custard apple i have not seen a measurement for but the amount is probably similar to atemoya.
Har also pointed out that the people in the study were also consuming the seeds by blending them into smoothies and were drinking the bark and leaves via teas. These parts of the fruit have much more annonacin than the flesh.
The island the people lived on was heavily sprayed with agri chemicals. The annona consumption might not have even been the factor
Finally, all plants have toxins to some extent. Oxalates, phytates, etc. yet plants are the healthiest foods on the planet. This is probably just another case of trying to demonize plants.
I have a san pablo red custard apple tree that currently doesnt set fruit. For a lot of these tropical fruit trees, 2 trees are needed for pollination. Based on what im saying above, i feel comfortable planting a second custard apple tree. I may or may not freeze the fruit, but i will probably eat plenty when its in season..sure, the annonacin is still in the back of my mind, but the hazards produced by humans are a lot more dangerous than what is found in nature, in my opinion
I've bookmarked the topic - It's interesting reading material.
I'd just like to add the table that Galatians is referring to in the image you attached:
What i learned watching youtube last night is my lawn has fungus damage, not water or nutrient problem.
Anthracnose they said causes brown & dead spots, areas, spreads, i didn't know lawns get it.
I will get fungicides for it, got liquids today but holding off till more research.
Cut this off M4.
Experimented putting straight dawn, oil, alcohol, peroxide, copper, lysol & rubbing them. Can't believe nothing loosened up the black. That anthracnose sure takes hold. Must grow into the plants tissue.
god helps them who helps themselves. is that from the bible?
I purchased this seedling malaforumis (not) from a reliable source here. It turned out to be a poisonous fruit instead.
It was lucky for me that I posted the photos of the vine and shape of the fruit here and asked what everyone thought it was. One forum member said it looked like the poisonous passion fruit. Boy was I lucky to find out before I opened it up, but it also had only seeds inside so I couldn't accidentally try the flesh not knowing it was a bad idea.
