Is anyone growing this in your landscape. I just found out about it today. Where is the best places to buy it. I looked on Etsy but shipping was too expensive.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Bomb cyclone packed with snow, rain and wind to slam eastern US 3/12-13
« on: March 10, 2022, 03:59:58 PM »
Hate to see all my blooms on my citrus and fruit trees get killed by this late freeze. I think if your south of Ocala you will be fine.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / How cold tolerant is Choquette Avocado
« on: December 16, 2021, 01:56:37 PM »
My Choquette avocado tree was a picture of perfect health up until we had temps in the lower 30's on one occasion and a few days when the temp dipped to almost 40. Almost all the leaves are dead now that you can see in the picture but the rest of the tree looks fine. Hopefully the tree will fully recover.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Should I remove sucker from Hood pear and 18 month old mango seedling tree
« on: August 23, 2021, 07:26:45 PM »
Should I remove this sucker on my Hood pear tree. Its above the graft line, I believe. Also I noticed a ground sucker emerged next to the potted mango seedling. Its 18 mo old. Should I remove it as well.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / My 3 mo old Goldfinger banana plant
« on: September 28, 2020, 11:18:48 AM »
I bought a Goldfinger banana plant because of this Youtube taste review. The banana plant was tiny when I put it in the ground. I am a complete amateur when it comes to gardening.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / My fruit tree trailer score
« on: September 28, 2020, 11:01:07 AM »
I often transport my fruit trees I buy in my Truck. Often the fruit trees I buy are young and fragile and some of the trees take a bit to recover from being transported. Wind and such take a toll. So I had been searching for a utility trailer to transport my zero turn, push mower and 3 gas scooters for transport to get serviced and repaired. I was looking mainly at single axle open utility trailers. Nothing real big. So after looking around on Facebook Market place and craigslist for a few mos I came across this homemade tandem utility trailer that was built on a boat trailer for 800.00. Since it has high sides I can now also transport my fruit trees and put a tarp over it if necessary to avoid injuring my trees. It's also the perfect size to transport my lawn equipment and gas scooters. Transporting them in my truck was a pain. It handled real well on the freeway when I went to pick it up. Tandem axle makes a difference in stability on the road.
