Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Papaya Fruit Flies
« on: March 14, 2024, 09:00:50 PM »
I'm afraid the flies can come from far away so forget about the idea of breaking their cycle.
You could try to set traps, I know olive groves can use kaolin so you may consider that as well.

I grow Tropic Sweet and Ein Shimer(sp?). Both have been in the ground for close to a decade, neither grow very fast nor do they produce much. If I get a couple apples each then its a bumper year. It never crossed my mind that RKN could have something to do with it.

RKN can feast on those roots but it would become obvious after 2-4 years. Trees would basically get stuck on survival mode then eventually give up and succumb. Most rootstocks if not all are prone as far as I can tell.

Zidi might be a good candidate as the roots vigor may outgrow the nematodes.

Does anyone grow apples in RKN soils? I wonder what rootstocks do well.

Have you tried the fruit before?
I may know someone in Tunis who can help you.

Is Mame sapote same breed. Can it be grafted to other sapote.
While I am researching which plant to buy. Do have a regular sapote plant.

No, although they share the same name, they're from two different families.

I couldn't stop eating them until there was only 1 pod left. They were super plump and super fresh and pleasantly sweet. Thank you very much for sharing your fruits.

It could work, remove all leaves but I would wait for next winter if that variety broke dormancy. I myself couldn't find yet a good tasting low chill pears.

Don't apply any fertilizer in a hole. The roots can't effectively take up fertilizer that is so highly concentrated. It will burn the roots and eventually leach into the soil.

Spread a little at a time on the surface and water in or let rain carry it into the soil.

I agree, you could also use that for foliar spraying.

Just wanna add that adding soil to the base of a tree like your achacha could potentially cause issues like rot or disease, as most fruit trees are sensitive to changes in soil depth around their trunks. Your gut instinct to hesitate is probably spot-on.
If your achacha tree is struggling with stability, it might be worth looking into staking or other forms of support rather than burying part of the trunk in soil. Also, consider checking its overall health; sometimes, instability can be a sign of root or other issues.
For specific advice tailored to your situation, consulting an arborist could be really valuable. I found this tree-doctor-houston.com site that offers a lot of useful information and services that could help you diagnose and treat any issues your tree may have.

Heat and drought combined are terrible.

The start of the rainy season is a chance for the roots to grow before any drought so aim for it.

I would like to join you in finding cuttings, it's unfortunate that we cannot even buy cuttings from Matt.

Not sure if you received my pm or if messaging is working, are you able to sell?

Don't you worry, he will get back to you, I think he's just away for the weekend.

It's interesting how all your Sumos are almost neckless  :)

I wouldn't try it zwanif, Mangosteen is super challenging, and even more in Algeria.

Any low chill temperate fruits cuttings?

I would say any temperate fruit that requires chill hours would do better in SoCA
