This year I went with slow release for my younger trees. I used Multicote 8
The NPK ratio is 18-5-12
I applied it a week ago. I was planning on hitting them again in May with the
same fertilizer. I also foliar spray with Kelp frequently sometimes once a week
or every other week. And last I also foliar spray Bio Wash 25 once a month.

Pinewoodflats your trees are very yellow
The Seaweed helped my trees darken up when I started using it last year and
also stimulated growth

I cut 3/4 of the panicle off of each individual panicle this year and only
left a small amount. I will cut the remaining 1/4 of panicle off April 1st
Hopefully the plants spent less energy on the flowers and are ready to
bust out with growth?

My trees are flowering now. Last year I had a couple fruit on one of my trees
that had 0 latex. Hopefully this Summer I will have fruit/seeds?

got it

Unfortunately there is going to be allot of information this season to learn from.
I hope last night was the worst night?
My trees have been stuck in mid bloom for going on a month now if not longer,
In the past it seems worse when we are warm and then get hit with a nasty couple
nights. I am glad my trees were in mid bloom and not full bloom but we shall see

Nice, achetadomestica! I believe where you're at gets colder than my location -- have you done anything for winter protection? One of the seeds I got from you already sprouted.

I was 39F one night this year so far
I think we are close to the same temps?
I haven't had to protect anything so far this Winter

I see bees on the flowers

Winter has not slowed down this fruit production

I have fresh escarlate jabo seeds again. $1.50 each

Add Black Sapote seeds $1.00 each from a self fertile tree that produces heavy crop every year
