Dee starts with ... Hi! I just bought a dwarfed fuyu persimon with a lot of bud and flowers on it. - when do I have to plant it in the yard? I live in zone 7. - how often do I need to water it? - since it's flowering, will the flowers will drop if I remove it from the pot? (plant is over 5 feet height) - I don't mean to change the subject but I also have a potted mango plant. it's less than a year old, it looks death right now, all the leaves are browned and dropping Please help!!!! Thank in advance Dee | About the Author Dee1 TX 24th April 2010 1:40am #UserID: 3648 Posts: 1 View All Dee1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Dee, According to this webpage http://www.avant-gardening.com/zone.htm Zone 7 Average dates the last frost - 30 March to 30 April Average dates the first frost - 30 September to 30 October I think your mango tree (tropical fruit tree) you brought out of the green house while it is still a bit frosty and if I was you I would bring it back to the green house and wait for the weather gets a bit warmer then you bring it out for a couple of hours a day and increase the number of hours everyday for a week until the tree is getting used to the weather before permanently being outside and see if it will survive. Good luck. Now regarding to your fuju persimmon tree this webpage has useful information on cultivation of this fruit tree that you can rely on. http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/persimmon.html BTW, according to what you said in your Edible page, there are lots of pine trees/ pine needles on your land. It means your soil is very acidic (PH around 5 to 6) so you may have to increase the PH by adding lime or dolomite to the soil before planting the persimmon tree but I would test the soil first and see how acidic the soil is before adding lime. Your soil may be best to grow bluberry or acid loving plants. All the best. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE 24th April 2010 8:07am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

Phil@Tyalgum says... It's sad to see a tree go, you rub off a bit of bark and it's just brown nothingness underneath. I gave a young soursop tree a quiet cremation last weekend. Fortunately a named variety (Cuban Fibreless) lives on. Persimmons do surprisingly well here in the subtropics, I always imagined them as a cold climate fruit. A lovely Hachiya tree arrived in magnificent condition from Daleys recently. Does anyone know if it is ok to plant when in full leaf or should I wait until winter dormancy sets in?

amanda says... I second that Nick! lol... they don't appreciate being dessicated. I also found mine to be a bit touchy with fertilisers? Maybe it was just my sand/salt - but I had a lot problems with chlorosis and leaf margin burning? This new spring growth came out ok - then I renovated the mulches, clayed and fed all the trees (rooster booster) in the orchard - and this one just finally dropped dead. I should dig it up and check out the roots b4 time passes, they might tell a story..? | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.
