Tropical Fruit Discussion / Carribean fruit fly
« on: December 24, 2023, 03:47:37 PM »
I have carribean fruit fly really bad in my yard. I just picked a bunch of jaboticabas and many of the fruits have worms in them. I really want to set up traps but I'm not sure what to use. I can't really find any specific answer online.

I got a mcphail trap and put the torula yeast in it but it doesn't seem to catch any fruit flies
 I keep seeing spinosaid pop up for the fruit fly but I'm not sure how to apply it. I'm hoping someone can recommend a trap that can help with the fruit fly.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Florida starfruit fruit fly
« on: August 14, 2023, 11:17:17 PM »
Has anyone had issues with fruit fly worms in their carambola? I found some worms in starfruit that dropped to the ground. I'm wondering if it's from carribean fruit fly. It seems like everything I grow gets worms:(

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Spinosad
« on: June 18, 2023, 09:09:22 PM »
I've heard you can use spinosad to get rid of carribean  fruit fly
 Can anyone explain how it's used? Do you spray it on the tree? On the fruit? Or is it for a trap

Can anyone explain the process they use. Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / FL fruit fly struggles
« on: June 06, 2023, 07:37:16 PM »
Just harvested my grumichamas today and they all had worms. Does anyone know what fruit fly stings them? Is there any bait trap that works on that type of fruit fly?

I'm assuming it's the same one that's stinging my loquats and guavas

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Your absolute favorite FL fruit tree
« on: November 06, 2022, 03:59:09 PM »
I know we have a lot of members here in FL.
I'm just curious what your absolute favorite fruit tree is in your yard and why. Maybe after talking about it.. it will help others know about it/make them want to plant one.

For me I think it's my seedling Rollinia tree. It gives me tons of fruit and they are my favorite thing to eat from the yard. A close second is sweet tart mango. I have lots of other fruit trees that haven't fruited yet so the list might change in the years to come!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Pakistan mulberry help
« on: August 23, 2022, 03:04:43 PM »
So I purched a few rooted cuttings of Pakistan mulberry about a year ago. They haven't done any growing yet. Some of them have dropped about half their leaves.

I thought these trees would grow like weeds at my house. Are the Pakistan mulberries prone to nematodes or something?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Abiu tree FL help
« on: August 10, 2022, 08:18:24 PM »
I was hoping I could get some words of advice for growing this tree in FL. Ive had good success growing many fruit trees in FL.. but I've managed to kill all of the abius I've planted so far. 3 in total. They seem to take a hit when the weather is cold.. then slowly die the following months. I love this fruit and would like some advice. I don't want to give up.

I'm in 10a

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cecropia in FL
« on: April 18, 2022, 05:20:34 PM »
I'm just curious of people's experiences growing it in FL. I've had two so far both die. One from a flood. The other was a young one that died in the cold this year.

I'm just curious of other people's growing experience. Does it grow well for you? Both of mine seemed to grow very slow when they were alive.

Citrus General Discussion / Variegated pink lemon in FL
« on: January 25, 2022, 07:16:09 PM »
So I don't really have any citrus in my yard besides finger lime because of citrus greening... but I really love the variegated pink lemon fruit. I'm probably going to plant a tree under a huge oak tree in my yard. Any words of advice to increase my odds of keeping it healthy?
