I have a small farm in Costa Rica and am about to plant a bunch of fruit trees. However, I'm finding it difficult to locate specifics on spacing for each tree. For example how far apart do I need to plant durian, terap, langsat, mangosteen, citrus, rolinia/anona family?
If you have any advice for planting these specific trees or can point me to a resource it would be super appreciated.
And at this very moment Paul has more mangoes on his tree than many in South Florida. Many had their blooms hit by Frost. Yay Paul go
I have noticed that there are many people in Florida that have mango trees in the ground that still raise a few in a pot for the pure challenge of it. There seems to be great satisfaction to get one to hold three or four fruit.
Everytime I come close to taking the challenge. I talk myself out of it and put them in the ground.
Paul my ice cream is down to three mangoes after last week's wind. 😫
There will definitely be no more blooms this season.
As to the ice cream, as previously stated, you are only harming the tree at this point.and any fruit it produces will be sub-par. I hate to say this but letting it continue to hold the fruit is akin to keeping an elderly ailing dog alive when it should really be put down.
Amazon hard copy for $200, but I am still waiting for the English version.
You water from the bottom? I had never even considered that, mine watered the soil. Doesn't the top get really dry?? I know some trees have their feeder roots at the top just under the soil
Update - do not use "coflex" / rubber-stretch-gauze for this! after a few days the tanglefoot was absorbed into the gauze material, causing it to lose stickiness and unwind, and the tanglefoot soaked through to the bark. So now I have direct tanglefoot on all my tree trunks. I guess I am now "all in" on this experiment.
[snip] I found a really good wrap that is stretchy and self-sticky. Actually, another forum member discovered it and is using it to wrap seedlings. It is sold as a type of gauze.
10a central Florida. Mine seems to do better this time of year out of full sun. I keep it potted under the outer most branches of a shade tree. Last year when it was smaller, it did well under shade cloth. It will slow down if it dries out in this warm weather. Also responds well to foliar feeding at least once a week. It is flushing out and flowering since up potting. In cooler weather I do not feed and only water occasionally. For me, so far so good
