Town Farm's Tips -

Yet to fruit.  Gets a fair bit of wind and we live on the water so I have had it staked.  Trying to keep growth under control as I am limited with space.

I have a few flowers on this tree now so am hoping the high winds don't blow them off!

ManishU's Tips - About 3 months old since i bought this.

Question: It has not grown any new leaves since i bought it and now I guess its starting to flower (as seen in image). Because this is its first year of flowering i am going to prune it. So should i prune it now or should i wait for the flower to bloom and then prune it?

Comments

To keep your mangoes small cut 1/3 off your plant when it reaches 1 metre .This will encourage side shoots. When the new shoots reach another 1 metre cut off 1/3 of the plant again . This is the best way to manage mangoes to a small size

Hi Deb, That's great. Does your tropic sweet apple have a pollinator, or is it the only apple tree in the garden? Diana.

MOODLU MANSIONS's Tips - The Avocado pear likes plenty of water. It has been very dry of late. Fortunately, I had some spare water which I was able to use on my 2 trees as they were in the early fruiting period and I risked losing new fruit just setting. Now they are looking quite healthy and some rain we had last week was a great blessing.

Terrastrega's Tips -

Just purchased my Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree few weeks ago. Its in a pot (38cm diameter & 35cm height). Potting mix is Richgrow rose and citrus potting mix, fertilise with bit of blood and bond, fruit and citrus premium fertiliser, and a dash of potash. I use Tee Tree Mulch but leave about 2 inches un-mulched around the trunk of the tree.The nursery advice to water twice a day here on Brisbane, so I have been doing that so far.

It looks healthy and doing well. It gets full sun till about 2 - 3pm each day, after which it gets partial sun. Height of tree from soil line upwards is about 64cm. I have a Dwarf Tahitian Lime tree (54cm tall) and an Emperor Mandarin (74cm tall, not the dwarf variety), both purchased around the same time as the Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree and also in the same type of pots, potting mix and fertiliser and so far all seem healthy.

Question:

Tree was bought only a few weeks ago, its still young. Just wondering when I may expect it to start fruiting?
