Jen - beginner fruit gardener says... Thanks Ev, we've had stinking humid weather so you could be right. I just planted Rockmelon seeds and they germinated to 2 cm high in 2 days! Watermelons are growing from flower to football size in a week so luckily humidity is working for some things. I'll try some more water on the Pepino - see if we can improve it's mood. ta | About the Author Jen beginner fruit gardener1 Boonah 17th December 2007 9:42am #UserID: 483 Posts: 4 View All Jen beginner fruit gardener1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tiggerbow says... Hi all, I have a pepino plant which seems to have soft white scale on it. The scale has then brought the ants. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the scale?. Temperatures have been very hot in Perth and I understand I can't spray with oil if it is over 30 degrees. Does anyone have any other solutions?. Thanks ! | About the Author Tiggerbow Perth WA 1st March 2010 11:17am #UserID: 2209 Posts: 30 View All Tiggerbow's Edible Fruit Trees |
amanda says... Hi Tiggerbow - have u tried Eco-oil? It causes a lot less burn - weather good now..hooray! I mix pyrethrum with it for scales and leaf miner - it works really well and usually I don't need follow up spraying then (even less chance of burn then). They are tough little things. I find most sprays cause burn in hot weather so try to wait - or spray in evening and wash off in morning - bit of a hassel tho' | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Brad says... sorry pepino thread... Amanda - my Kumquat has leaves showing heat stress (yellow in the middle, even a bit of brown, but green at the tips) but my others are looking happy. If anything I've erred on overwaterring the pots though. They're not fully established yet. I'm sure you know some leaf drop in citrus is pretty normal. As long as the younger leaves look healthy, I'd not worrry at all | About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 6th March 2010 2:36pm #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |
