Cocktail fruit trees - Single fruit tree with multiple fruits
Q
Comments (15)
Doan's nursery in Belt line road in Irving has many cocktail fruit trees. I would suggest to check this nursery for fruit trees, flowering plants and tropical plants. Be prepared to wait to get help and also make sure that you are getting the right plants because many of the plants don't have labels/pricing. I also noticed that many fruit trees are from California growers, so not sure how they would grow in DFW. Moreover, they do not give any kind of warranty to the trees.

2nd year of rotting fruit on Cherry tree
Q
Comments (3)
I would guess it's the dreaded Brown Rot. Once that starts it moves rather quickly. I had it a few years ago and some of the experts here on GW pointed me to a product called Monterey Fungi Fighter. I was unable to locate that locally (in a very short time that I had to get it applied) so I found a product from Bonide called Infuse that had the same active ingredient. It worked just like they said it would! I want to say it was Harvestman or Fruitnut who had guided me on this one, but they had said you can even use it in a rescue operation. In other words, if you have spotted early signs of Brown Rot you can spray with MFF (or in my case Infuse) and it'll stop the BR and you'll have saved some of the crop anyway. It worked for me. Going forward from that experience, I was much more diligent in making sure I collected and discarded any of the "Mummies" (the shriveled up fruit with the nasty moldy looking spore things, etc) as well a keeping things really clean under the tree. And then being diligent in a spray schedule with regard to applying a Fungicide. Now when I harvest my cherries, one of the last things I do after picking for the day is to go around the underneath of the tree and pick up all the drops or bird pecked ones that I discard so that there's nothing under my tree except for grass. Even if I'm dog tired after a day of harvesting I find the energy to get the drops off the ground and thrown away. I think it really helps. Others may have a different take on your cherry problem, but if it is BR the products noted and keeping a clean area may help out going forward.

Pine tree id. help? zone 4, 2 3 1/2 inch needles per clump.
Q
Comments (10)
Since the tree was probably a landscape planting, there are lots of options. The Pinus key on the FNA site show Pines that are native, or have escaped, and these Pinus maps at BONAP provide distributions for those species in the wild. Those two resources show that Pinus echinata has straight needles of that length, and is also comfortable in northern climates. However, an accurate ID isn't really feasible from the information provided. You might take your photo to local nurseries, to see if they can tell you which Pinus species are typically selected for local plantings.

Apricot tree flowered pink? Can any body help ID this tree
Q
Comments (32)
I still think it was you but don't remember that much if kids were there. Wife black straight hair? Last Saturday at the Devonian gardens we talked about prunus Siberica and thought it to be a rather minor deviation of prunus Manchirica. Even though Siberica is likely to carry over the pink I still have one reserved thought that Robert Purvis knows of about Siberica. That it is an incredibly slow grower and is dwarf. Robert used to live in Alaska and in Idaho still does nothing but apricot in one of his collections in Washington. Gabe Botar was at the gardens who is another person knowing a great deal about apricot. He had scions of a prolific dwarf apricot with small good tasting fruits that he produced from crossed parents. Good stuff because slow growing and dwarf is always great for extreme cold or unprotected sites. For example flowering under the snow would delay bloom and escape the damaging spring frosts. If Clair Lammers (formerly from Edmonton) from Alaska ever grew Gabes apricot he would at least had fruits from this where all other his Manchurica experiments failed. My grandfather may have been around as a retired forester at the time those were planted and lived very close by. Only a remote possibility exists. I came across the trees a few years ago because I wanted to visit my childhood memories of the wading pool that still there in that place and not that anybody told me. Who ever planted them it seems very possible it was done from self pollinated Goldcot seeds similar the way you collected from the pink tree the seeds for another generation.

Thanks for the close up Maureen but for the less than experts around here it still a little too far away anyway.

Cheers.

#1 Possibly a Jackfruit variety? Looks different than my MIA-1s, and the limbs look too slender considering the size of the tree.

#2 Unknown. I first thought Macadamia Nut, but mine have had no color change from frost.

#3 Sapodilla. Easy! Very nice tree!

#4 Tamarind! A lovely one!

#5 Unknown. Looks related to Magnolia. I'm stumped.. It does not look like my Black Sapote.

#6 Longan?

Where are you that you have such gorgeous, mature tropical fruit trees?

Most of mine are babies, so I'm not too good at IDing mature trees. Yet.. But, I'm learning.

I'm horribly jealous!

Thanks Lisa . I do have about 3 fully grown Lychee trees, 1 longan tree, 3 small longan trees,3 fully grown tamarind trees, a dozen small tamarind trees, 2 fully grown sapodillas A dozen mombin trees, a dozen Guava trees , lots of yucca, sugar cane, lemon grass, ginger. Jackfruit, Tamarind, Lychee, Sapodilla, Longan are right. As soon as they start fruiting I'll be posting more pics of my babies. I must say you guys do know your fruit trees.
