Tropical Fruit Discussion / Location for Rollinia/Biriba tree
« on: June 16, 2019, 10:08:55 AM »
Im looking to put another Rollinia in Ground. The area im interested in planting the tree acts as drain way for water during the summer rains. The area does not hold water but the ground does get quite saturated. I had a guava tree die from root rot in the same spot and Im wondering if the same will happen if I plant a Rollinia there?

The tree is planted on a slight hill and gets full sun. Been aiming to water it once a week, is this a sign it needs more aqua?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cherry of the Rio Grande
« on: December 22, 2018, 03:00:32 PM »
Last February I purchased and planted a Cherry of The Rio Grande in ground. I mixed compost, bone&blood meal, and some all purpose fertilizer in the soil before planting and had high hopes from the little plant. Well after 10 months in ground the plant has hardly moved. It has all its leaves and doesn't appear stressed but I feel it's unhappy. Is zone 10a southwest florida climate not ideal for this tree?

Recently I have began looking into feeding the tropical fruit trees I have with a Monopotassium foliar feeding to increase overall health and promote more flowering. The trees I would be spraying include soursop, sweetsop, mango, sapodilla, guavas and jakfruits with Only the sapodillas and guavas  in flower currently. I plan to feed the trees a 1% solution via foliar spray at dusk. Having no experience with this fertilizer before im looking for feedback on whether this is a good fertilizer to include in my foliar feed.
