Lychee - Bosworth 3 2/10Africanaussie's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3296 days 17hrs Planted: 2008 Water Given in: Summer Pruned By: 50% in After Fruiting Question: When we purchased the property there was a mature lychee in the backyard. There have been problems with erinose mite. The last time it fruited, we were able to pick from the lower branches, but the upper ones were attacked by bats. We got an arborist to prune the tree and I wanted the top lopped off, but he pruned it back into a rounded shape. He said lopping the top would killl the tree. It has now leafed out and fruited with all the fruit out of reach. We have bats at night and rainbow lorikeets during the day. My poor hubby picks buckets of fallen fruit which I have been composting. I now think this might be a bad idea as we seem to have flies. They are bigger than the little flies you get when over ripe fruit sits on the counter. They actually look like little cockroaches - brown with a black stripe. 2cm long. We live in Mossman Queensland. I would appreciate any advice on where to go from here. The back garden is awful at the moment with all these little flies, and we have a fruit tree that we get no fruit from.. Was this review helpful?

Avocado - Hass (A) (Grafted) Africanaussie's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3296 days 17hrs Comments: - I have a small veggie garden and want to grow a food forest so that the trees provide shade. I bought this at the markets from Helgas nursey, leaves have gone yellow and fallen off. I see that it likes more acid soil, so am going to pick up some coffee grounds. Our wet season is slow in coming so it has been very dry. Height 3 Feet Growing: In the Ground Qty: 3 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: No Was this review helpful?
