Raymondo starts with ... I have a grumichama about 5yrs old and 2.5 mtrs high healthy no apparent problems, for two years it has flowered profusely and I mean totally white with flowers but no fruit.The area around the flowers eventually become covered with a web like structure and I have seen very small green spiders in the area . I would like any input from someone who may know the cause of this situation. I grow organically and do not use sprays, thanks Raymondo | About the Author Raymondo Cooroibah 10th November 2013 10:30am #UserID: 8331 Posts: 3 View All Raymondo's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... I keep mine pruned to a bit over a metre. Its about 6 years old. gives lots of fruit over multiple crops. It sometimes gets the spider webs, which stifle fruit production, but if kept small its much easier to get rid of the leaf webbers. I also get them on garcinia, but it doesnt really harm fruiting on those. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 21st November 2013 10:17am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... s I gave mine away before I started to hate it :) Fact is there are plenty of fruit trees that thrive in my garden and I cannot count on having the years it may take to see it fruit. It went to a good home, where it is sulking in the same manner but its new owners are young and living in far north NSW so they'll probably be rewarded with fruit one day. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 21st November 2013 1:08pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Thanks, Edward. I am philosophical about the limitation of my container garden. Both my grumichama and my jaboticaba had to leave home to seek their fortune elsewhere but most other trees are doing their thing here :) I am also adding new interests all the time. This year I have the white choko vine going and a new trough of asparagus has settled in. Also I had a harvest of garlic which I was not expecting but am no less excited and happy about it. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 28th November 2013 5:22pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... It is true Mary that it is all frolicking in the sunshine, greenery, high fives, fine food, rainbows, group hugs and a lazy pace of life here in the tropics. I am glad I got rid of the 5m+ amethyst python this morning and now I can try and mow the knee high lawn I mowed 2 weeks ago. Then I can go get fuel for $1.60l as soon as I fix this thermometer that say 32c when it feels 52c.If only I could haul myself out of this pool of sweat I would get things done. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 30th November 2013 12:30pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... These are from my current 2nd crop this year ,, and a mate tells me his tree is covered with flowers just down the road . dead tips seem to happen a lot in the lead up to the wet , even with irrigation .. any suggestions ? or is it just natural pruning ?

Raymondo says... Thanks for all the INFORMATIVE responses, I was originally thinking of chopping the Grumichama out [good spot in the orchard], but will persevere, interesting we had a huge flush of flowers in Sept but none at the moment yet BJ in Bris now has a second flush, I quite agree they taste fantastic and are a site to behold when in full flower | About the Author Raymondo Cooroibah Noosa 1st December 2013 8:08am #UserID: 8331 Posts: 3 View All Raymondo's Edible Fruit Trees |
