Guava - Thai White (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: -

Very Happy with the guava tree, Planted in 2018 started fruiting 2020, had few issues with fruit flies ( worms in fully ripen fruits) . Tried putting fine net bags around the fruits when they were young and voila didnt have the worm issue in those fruits..

 Has started fruiting again this year planning to buy a huge net bag to cover the tree and tie it( too many fruits to be putting individual bags)!

Fruiting Months January, February, March, December

Growing: In the Ground

Pest Control: fruit fly  ( fine net bags used)

Fruiting Months January and December

Planted: 2018

Growing: In the Ground

Question: One of the mango is spliting/cracking, is it because of continuous rain for two weeks?

Mango - Alphonso (Grafted)

Comments: -

Just bought this grafted plant from daleys nursery on the 25th May 2018. Havent planted in the ground yet.

Planted in the ground, started growing really well then the 2018 winter killed it. I should have waited till winter passed before planting it in the ground :-( .

Growing: In a Pot

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Question: Just noticed one of the leaves drying out. Why is this happening?

Comments

Mango grow really slow in cold and frosty condition.. it needs full sun and lots of water in summer, it would grow well in summer, sometimes leaves drying out from bottom of plant but not top of the tree where new growth is shooting.. It might need big pot or permanent soil...

Thank you Anand. yeah it was only those couple of leaves that dried out, rest were okay and I have planted them in the garden in their permanent place last week. Fingers crossed they survive the winter.

i bought at same time as you, but i am going to wait till oct as its when the soil temp will start to rise, also winter where i live in west syd is quite frosty. I am preparing ahole 2 feet waide by 2 feet deep for it and adding lot of organic matter.

My Alphonso has been in ground for about 3 years and has survived Sydney winters. Got 2 fruits second year but the possums got to them before I could. No flowers last summer.
