Which trees NEED HOT sun and HOT temps to produce well?
Comments (45)Off the top of my head: Sanguinelli Blood, Tarocco, Moro, Budd Blood, Smith Red, Vaniglia Sanguigno, Valentine(Pumello), Red Vaencia, and Cara Cara (lycopene). I mighthave a couple more that I am not remembering and I have multiples of some and a few Moro and Tarocco from seed. I think they all have gotten fruitlets and several have developed mature fruit but they are all still small trees so not a huge amount of fruit yet. I was hoping for a lot of fruit this year as the trees have been doing well even after the greenhouse overheat in April, but something keeps eating or stealing the fruit when they get about 2 inches in diameter. It is quite frustrating. I never had problems other years so it must be something new to my yard. I have chipmunks for the first time this year, but the fruit seem to large for them to take. I had a second Tarocco, but it died suddenly for no reason I could ever figure out. It's twin is still doing fine and they were next to each other in the greenhouse when the one started dying almost overnight. I had a cocktail grapefruit/pumelo die like that also. I am wondering if that is a rootstock compatibility issue when that happens or maybe the graft fails. The Cocktail made 5 ripe fruit last winter and suddenly died overnight. It had fruited at least twice before that and was a strong grower. It was one of my largest trees. Again, I don't know why it died. It did not seem to be prone to scale, spider mites, aphids or other bugs. The rootstock still looks alive, but it has not sprouted at all. I have been waiting all summer. The Tarocco rootstock sprouted some kind of trifoliate and I now have a fairly large tree to graft onto when I get brave enough and find the time to try grafting. Some trees are real scale magnets,but these were not. Cory...See MoreShade most of day- hot late afternoon sun HELP! Zone 6
Comments (11)I load a hand spreader and go to town. I have put down 3 applications so far, started in the middle of March when it was a little warmer here. I've done 3 applications here so far. The rain tends to weaken it over time. It is safe for pets etc. I bought a big bag for $8 and I still have enough left for at least one more application. NO rabbit damage here even though I see rabbits every day in my yard.BTW, I have a lot of garden space to treat Sherry...See MoreClimbing rose for morning sun which can be very hot in the sumer
Comments (6)Hello Ginny, I am not sure what is your gardening zone, and that would make the biggest difference on finding the perfect rose. My summers are warm and humid (always over 90) in the south eastern USA. Bathsheba from David Austin would probably work for what you want. I don't know much about the thorns on this one, so maybe others will chime in on that respect. https://www.davidaustinroses.com/us/bathsheba-climbing-rose crepuscule rose is another beautiful peach/orange climber. Crown Princess Margareta from David Austin is also beautiful, but gets some black spot in my garden so it depends where you are. https://www.davidaustinroses.com/us/crown-princess-margareta-english-climbing-rose Lady of Shalott can also be grown as a climber in warmer zones. It is also very healthy where black spot is prevalent. https://www.davidaustinroses.com/us/lady-of-shalott-english-climbing-rose...See MoreMorning shade and afternoon sun, central TX zone 8b?
Comments (1)I am afraid "maybe not". :o( For me in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area, water was not the problem. The leaves just do not tolerate our strong summer sun well. I find that Annabelle-like hydrangeas are particularly heat sensitive during our summer months. They also have foliage that did not stay healthy during afternoon/evening sun conditions of our hot summer months. Since my summer sunlight lasts until close to 8-8:30pm at worst, the plants in your location will probably be getting a lot of direct sun, from around 3pm through 8pm or, about 4/5 hours of 100F degree temperatures for many weeks. Paniculata hydrangeas are more sun tolerant and can usually stand more sun. In the New England states, they can be in full sun. But their leaves and blooms in my area suffered a lot too as our summer sun is so intense. So, I transplanted the paniculatas to get morning sun only or even full but bright shade. If you still want to try anyway, may I suggest growing them in a pot at first so you can move the plant easily from one location to another....See MoreAbby Marshall
