Thanks A1 for the response. I wasn't able to figure out how to post a picture. If I had, the photo would show two pencil point size holes on the blossom end with yellowing around them. I really wish I knew how to post pictures. I've added calcium to the soil about two weeks ago because I was experiencing blossom end rot with my tomatoes and figured everything was in the same soil. As far as the other nutrient deficiencies, I'm using an organic potting mix with steer manure compost on top every couple of weeks. The temps here stay in the mid 80s during the day and my plants see about 6 hours of sun. I water for 20 minutes before the sun comes up using a sprinkler, and occasionally in the evening depending on how the plants look. The trades have been blowing regular. The wind is calm in the morning but blows throughout the day on a consistent basis. As far as the SVB, I don't even know if they are present here on Oahu. I've seen no other evidence and I'm looking every day. The only insects I see is the small ants and even those are on the decline. I appreciate your thoughts. If you tell me how to put pictures here, I have some quality ones. Thanks

Olpea, don't get me started on the unanswered mysteries of animal behavior in relation to fruit trees. OK, too late, I've started. My robins, which are ridiculously plentiful on my property, leave everything but blueberries and mulberries alone (maybe you need those as a diversion crop). Of course they would go for cherries if I had them unnetted. Everyone has crows around and only sometimes do they attack fruit but on sites they do everything must be netted. A loose net will do as they won't climb around under a net. At least that's the behavior of our crows. So far. A very sane and intelligent client of mine told me of a very fat woodchuck making a 4' vertical leap from a dead stop to get above one of my baffles. Mystery- was this an olympian woodchuck or do Michael Jordan acrobatics come as standard equipment at the woodchuck factory. When I told this story to someone else they told me of seeing a cotton tail rabbit clearing a 4' fence- that's a little cotton tail, not a jack rabbit. I have sites nearby where the deer go as high as 7' to strip foliage and fruit. At my site they never go above about 5'. My squirrels used to run up trees to get away from me but once I got a shotgun and slaughtered them for a few weeks they avoided trees and scurry in crazy angles through weeds and rocks at the slightest sign of my motion- even from a window. My wife's movement doesn't disturb them. My son's theory for the squirrels is that I eliminated the local gene pool of confident, tree climbing when stressed, squirrels. That's a theory. One thing I know, the behavior of same species wildlife vary a lot.

I never even considered jujube, most likely because I have only the vaguest idea what it would be. It certainly looks like the pictures I've seen. Please tell me, would a jujube be so very astringent when unripe that a person eating it might think it was poison? The friend who sampled it (not at my invitation) was genuinely shocked at the taste. Rosefolly

The first one looks like Chinese Forget-Me-Not (Cynoglossum amabile). HTH Chris
