Please Help me with my Sickly Dwarf Lemon Tree
Comments (3)Hi Tabithawc! It almost sounds as if your leaves may have sunburn. I would maybe move it indoors to a sunny window for a bit- East if you can, and then as it heals, perhaps acclimate it to the sun by putting it out in the morning sun (East) and then gradually getting it used to stronger sun- Western. Once it heals it should be able to handle full sun. It sounds like the plant needs a little coddling. I wish you luck! Jen...See MoreNeed help/advice on dwarf tropical trees
Comments (4)Wow, resurrecting an old thread :) Many of the trees listed above are ultra tropical or tropical, not sub tropical. What's needed to grow mangosteen and cacoa is a whole different level than avocados and dragon fruit. I grow everything in fabric Root Pouch containers ranging from 15-45 gallon. Every kind of dwarf citrus does well in 15 gallon, as does tropical guava, dragon fruit, passion fruit, fig and a ton of others. I have my macadamia and avocados in 45 gallons. Macs won't fruit until they reach a certain age, which usually means they're no longer dwarfs. I keep my mac in a 4x4' area which isn't nearly as huge as they'll get. My avocados will be pruned when they get a certain size. Mango also does well in containers. Papaya can be grown in containers, though they can't be pruned and will need some space to grow. There's some dwarf varieties like TR Hovey. Cherimoya can be grown in a container. Just go for it and prune when they get too big :)...See MoreHelp- need info on growing mango trees in a patio container
Comments (7)Bailey's Marvel and Irwin can get absolutely huge. Bailey's Marvel is the better tasting mango imo. Not sure on Southern Blush as the only tree I have seen was a small one at the Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead. could be a low growth tree though. They taste good. Glenn trees can be kept fairly small even though its not technically a dwarf, and Cogshall can definitely be grown in a pot. I've never tasted Cogshall but I do like Glenn. Glenn can taste watery though if the soil is very wet....See MoreNeed help with mango tree
Comments (8)Most common mango varieties are MONO and will not grow true from seed. They will probably eventually fruit but 99% of the time the fruit or tree's characteristics will be inferior to it's parent. However in most cases they should produce good tasting even if fibrous fruit, but reliable production could be more iffy. I have an elderly neighbor with 5-6 large mango trees all grown from seed and he enjoys the fruits he gets, when he gets it as they often don't bear in many years....See MoreHermitian
