Contorted Jujube Root system - how invasive and strong is it?
Comments (21)Have 3 ('Li', 'Lang', and 'Sherwood'), getting on 10 years old in southern New Jersey, ordinary suburban fill soil, USDA Zone 6A. Sure, they send out lateral roots which sucker, (especially when they hit a sidewalk or street) but just prune to base periodically or mow over them. No problem unless you leave them a few years to get woody! And, jujube is perhaps the most trouble-free of my exotic fruit trees, no fungi, viruses, bacterial problems. An occasional fruit has a tiny borer worm (I pit and dry most of my fruit), that's about it. And greatly visited by small bees when in bloom! That, and harvest by gently shaking the trunks. What more could you want in a fruit tree? Although Chinese jujube are fine in moderate rainfall temperate climate, they really shine in desert conditions, just covered with huge, sweet fruit (have seen in Las Vegas and Tuscon). Other jujubes (spina-christi, mauritiana, etc.) better in hotter or tropical climes, I think....See MoreTropical Fruit Tree Protection From STRONG Winds
Comments (14)Hi, everyone. Thanks again for the help. Sorry for our late reply. We have been busy and still trying to set up something again with the plastic. :-) Hi, Harry. It must be very hard during hurricane season. I know I am emotionally attached to our plants already and they are all new and young still... Just hope Mother Nature doesn't get too brutal... Hi, Mango_nut! Thank you for the link. I have browsed it and will look at it in more detail. I would love to have a sapodilla to serve as a windbreak but as you have mentioned it would take too long for it to help us in the interim. :-( It would be nice indeed to have fruit trees serving as windbreaks too. :-) Hi, Mango_kush! Yes! Our neighbors have those cement blocks too for walls. For fencing otherwise, it is metal? With large gaps. But their trees are all mature... So I guess they don't have to worry much about the winds damaging young trees... Hi, Gomango! Wow, a lot of mango lovers here besides us! :-) That was what we were afraid of with planting windbreaks: 1) time it needs to be fully functional and 2) growth that will not be too vigorous so as to affect our fruit trees. I was thinking of bamboo but I read on the forum those are very vigorous growers and can grow very tall... If planting windbreaks, I will have to do so in containers. Unfortunately, the garden is too small for them to co-exist in the ground....See MoreStrong odor - Do bamboo charcoal bags work?
Comments (0)1. Have you ever used bamboo charcoal bags to eliminate an odor? Do they work? 2. It says to activate them in the sun for 2 hours. Can that be inside with light coming through a glass window or does it have to be sun outside? (It is winter, I live in an apartment.) Thanks. Scoop is below if you have any other suggestions. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ We live in a prewar apartment building. We've spent three weeks sleeping, working, and eating in our primary bedroom because it is the only place in our apartment that has not smelled. A pipe burst upstairs 3 weeks ago and leaked into a wall cavity next to a closet. Severely damaged the closet wall. Our super ripped out the drywall and has the cavity open now to remove moistuer. The wall cavity contains pipes that go into our kitchen sink. There is a gap between the back of the cavity and the back of our cabinets. This gap area concerns me. The smell was horrific both in the room with the closet and in our kitchen, under the sink. Room with closet, closet, cavity, and under kitche sink smelled horrific. Cavity now just smell a bit like a slightly musty basement. Kitchen still smells like hell if we close the windows. Here is what we've done: - Placed a dehumidifier in closet next to the wall cavity. Pulled lots of moisture first few days but now hardly any. Put it next to kitchen sink cabinet and pulled nothing. - Had mold company test - tests were negative. More mold in kitchen than in cavity but both were well below the threshold. Moisture meter detected no moisture on kitchen cabinet, kitchen walls, closet walls. - Have had windows open for three weeks, fans in the windows. It is winter in NYC and getting too cold. When we close the windows sometimes it is okay and other times the kitchen smell comes back full force. - Odor wafted into the living room for a week and ran our hospital grade air purifier in there. - Have a container of Damprid under sink and container in cavity....See MoreStrong Heart rose from Lowe's
