We also freeze them in ice block trays with a squirt of lime juice and he eats them later on...18 days 18hrs Black sapote46 - I left two to taste, they didn't get big but it was till nice to taste them. Yours will be grafted tree I reckon. Leave one or two if you like, but try leave ones closer to the trunk where the wood is thicker...20 days 5hrs Fig leaf curl12 - I have the same problem. I took to squishing the leafhoppers. Been monitoring last few days and haven't seen them again. Hopefully that did it. Heard u can use eco pistol if you want to go down that route...20 days 5hrs Black sapote very pale new leaves - can't help as to why, just letting you know mine are like that too.

Meyer lemon x Tahition Lime (Grafted)Bspargo's Edible FruitsUpdate: 268 days 3hrs Comments: - Meyer lemon and tahition lime grafted on one tree. Always kept in a pot (around 65L, should upgrade soon to 100L though i did a root prune a few years back). Lime side seems to have taken over in terms of growth. Hard to keep this tree balanced now.

Dwarf Apple - Akane Bspargo's Edible FruitsUpdate: 268 days 4hrs Comments: - This variety i think is too high chill for my area. You can see the buds didn't really open vrey well this year and there was no additional height from last year. Cill issues seem to effect the top of the plant more. I'm grafting on lwer chill varieties and will try misting and shading during winter to get more chill. Planted: 2017 Growing: In the Ground Was this review helpful?
