growing apples from seed in a tropical climate
Comments (19)that may be so, cider apples are welcomed. i want more just to grow them to fruiting. i have made contact with Mr. Hauser and its just the matter of funds.... maybe next year if all goes well..... update on my plants is as follows as can be seen in the pic the seedlings have grown many feathered branches....i neglected them a bit and fell out of the routine care schedule. the heat and pest pressure from aphids brought about stress and this is the result ( my unprofessional opinion). they are in plastic pots outdoors in full sun, i now water them every other day and fertilize every Tuesday with a liquid fertilizer.planing on starting a compost tea treatment between fertilization. i am going to leave the feathered branches on as i don't plan on doing any pruning until after the first fruit set....See MoreAzalea Brown Patches on Leaves/Distorted New Growth
Comments (4)Hi guys, thank you both for your quick replies! Sorry I didn't mention I'm in Australia. morz - yes we're in Autumn already, we're the opposite season as in US. I bought it in a supermarket - all of the azaleas in there were in full blooms. My azalea is on a windowsill outside glass but under roof which receives morning sun and is exposed to wind but not rain. It's a Paul Schame which according to books doesn't tolerate sun but I thought early morning sun would be all right? I read some of the old threads and realized that I needed to rough up the rootball before transplanting so I pulled the plant out of the pot yesterday and cut the outside roots with a knife, put it back in and soaked with water. I hope that'll do some good to it? luis_pr - you mentioned mulch, what sort of material should I use for potted azalea? I tried sphagnum moss before but all azaleas I owned in the past had died so I guess it's probably not such a good idea? Thanks again....See MoreDraft 2003 USDA Hardiness Map - new Tropical Zones
