My mandarine tree is suffering
Comments (5)That makes sense. I was gone for a week and had someone water my potted trees. That was when my tree began to look different. It could be that it was not watered enough. When I returned, I gave my trees a good drink. It is difficult to overwater because the soil is very porous. That could be the reason. Thank you very much for all the feedback....See MoreWhen will my tree produce?
Comments (10)It's not that they *will* produce lower fruit quality, it's that you have no idea what fruit quality they may possibly produce - could be spectacular, could be horrible, it's a total mystery until they produce a fruit. However, if you graft a Brogdon avocado branch on your rootstock, you will get Brogdon avocados with it's consistently good Brogdon avocado quality. It's the same with any fruit that is not true to seed. Apples for instance. If you get a seed out of your Honeycrisp, plant it, it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will get an apple from that new tree that's anything like a Honeycrisp. It might be good, it might be bad, you will have no idea until you get a fruit from your new mystery-tree. The reason people Patent certain varieties of fruit trees is because they have produced a fruit that's better than 99% of the other fruit out there, and they believe it's so good they can make money by selling it (both the fruit and the scion). So, because of this, the patented varieties of fruit are almost always tastier/better textured/longer lasting than the random variety that your avocado pit, or your apple seed will produce. You might get lucky and grow an apple tree from your seed that tastes better than a Fuji, but the odds are against you because the Fuji apple was chosen as the best of tens of thousands of other apples....See MoreWhen should I harvest my satsuma mandarin?
Comments (12)On the when to pick subject, I think Satsumas can be a bit mild on flavor when they are dead ripe so I like picking and eating off the tree before they are dead ripe. It also helps me take some weight off the tree a bit earlier and maybe even spare some fruit from spoilage loss they might encounter later. This is a really humid and wet time of year in my area and sometimes the fruit get rotten on the low side where water drops stay longer....See MoreWhy do my healthy full grown avocado trees produce almost no fruit?
Comments (8)I grew up with three 20-40ft tall avocado trees in my yard, as well as three 4ft diameter 60ft tall Pecan trees, a couple 12-20ft tangelo Trees, Half a dozen 12 ft tall Banana plants, Half a dozen 60ft tall oaks, three 6-12ft Naval orange trees And a myriad of no less than 3 dozen different flowering plants throughout The front and rear yard. our avocados typically produce every 2-3 years due to temperatures dropping to 12°F-32°F between November and march depending on hurricanes and rainfall here in Central Florida. When our Avocado trees bear fruit, it’s typically 12-30 avocados per tree throughout the producing months. However opposite those productive years are always low production or zero production years. Not certain of the tree‘s descent, but Our avocados are typically well over 2lbs each and very large....See MoreDenise Becker
