Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Brian's Pennsylvania Greenhouse and Tropical Fruit Trees
« Last post by TropicalFruitHunters on Today at 06:25:03 PM »Brian...yeah...moisture during the winter months is really bad. The gas heaters are wonderful, but really cause a wet environment. All of my trees were in ground, so cleaning the glass was a pain in the butt. It was a circus show with me balancing on the ladder blasting away with a big power washer all the while trying not to strip the plants from the pressured water.
I forget the mfg of my two corner ceiling fans, but they lasted since 2006. Not sure how they still operated. Pretty much fell apart when I took them down for safety. Had one ceiling fan that helped and relied on several floor, oscillating fans to move air and branches.
I always pined away about having a better growing zone to grow anything I wanted. Now that I have it, it really isn't all as great as I hoped! 7 month complete drought periods with terribly high temps and even more terrible low humidity is challenging. My trees in the greenhouse fared and looked better. I do miss the greenhouse. I had several specimens ready to fruit and I missed out. Hopefully the new owners are following my directions! LOL!
