Nectarine tree: mites, ants, leaf curl, stunted growth.
Comments (18)It's a real pain having to uncurl each leaf to spray off these aphids. I think they're pretty much under control now with the Tanglefoot in place. But... I've just realized I have a larger ant/aphid problem in the rest of the garden. The ants are totally out of control, farming aphids on other plants that I can't use the Tanglefoot on. Any advice from anyone one dealing with a massive ant population in a garden? If I can get the ants under control, the aphids will be much easier to deal with.

Comments (9)We get this in the north most springs on some roses. It is likely due to the soil not being warmed up enough for the rose to take in certain nutrients as mentioned above. I would not worry about adding iron/calcium, etc.--wait and see if the problem corrects itself after it warms up more. Another possibility could be a nonviable cane. One that is winter-damaged that you missed when pruning, or looked ok after the winter but really is damaged and is not able to transport nutrients to those leaves. This would pertain if it is only the leaves coming from one certain cane....See MoreAdvice needed accelerating leaf and leaf bud growth
Comments (9)Padma - "how long it takes for a Sugarapple seedling to fruit?" If you can keep it alive through the winters, 3 to four years. http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Annonaceae/Annona_squamosa.html "Also how long it takes for a Jackfruit seedling to fruit?" 3 to four years, if it survives the winters. http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Moraceae/Artocarpus_heterophyllus.html They may not survive long enough in Phoenix to set fruit. We are in a "sub-tropical desert", not a true tropical climate. It gets too cold in the winter for most real tropical plants, and too hot and/or dry in the summers for others. Check the Desert Tropicals site before you start ordering things from the internet, and talk to that nursery on Baseline road - he's really good about what has a chance here versus what's doomed.

Comments (21)My four cherokee purple plants came from tomatoes I grew last summer, that came from a tomato I ate in NC the summer before. Last year I had a huge yield from 4 plants. This year, all 4 plants have been stricken with leaves curling up, new and larger leaves. Leathery, really curly little leaves and curled (up) larger leaves. Some small brown spots on larger, older leaves, no yellowing, no dead edges. Growing conditions are ditto to last year. Plants leaves are stunted, growth is stunted. You can see through the plants and overall, the leaves are small yep, and curled. I was told to use Happy Frog fertilizer due to calcium shortage. I don't think this will work. I am going to spray for fungus AND insects. These tomatoes are the best I ever ate, and I've eaten a lot of them. No more seeds available. I should have saved a few....See Morefunkyhat
