Lynne starts with ... My 3 yO finger lime had heaps of flowers this year and lots appeared to be pollinated at first but I now have only one fruit which is about 5 mm long,and is already dark brownish. Can this be my harvest for the year. The label when I got it was Rainforest Pearl. I am unsure if the spot is the problem or our climate.It is protected from our NE summer Winds and will soon be a bit more protected from the southerlies. It is in a spot that is part shade (being a rainforest plant I assumed it would not like full sun)Should I use potash next year??? | About the Author Lynne2 South Coast NSW 29th November 2008 5:30pm #UserID: 1708 Posts: 3 View All Lynne2's Edible Fruit Trees |
Kath says... Lynne, Does your tree still have flowers on it, if so the fruits are still forming. They can be very difficult to see when they are little and I usually find there are more on my tree than I can see. I have my grafted fingerlimes planted in full sun and they are thriving. By the way, the best way to pick them is with a large stick, knock the fruit off, as they fall when ripe and then rattle it down to the ground where you can pick it up without being spiked. | About the Author Kath Cawongla 30th November 2008 6:45am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees |
