Mango tree disease - Hi Bruce, My brother in Mandurah had same problem It is Anthrachnose and he treated it with regular sprays ofMancozeb which is also great for assisting with fruit set. Good luck Eric..3607 days 11hrs
Black sapote36 - Hi All we'll Hooray my Sapote has finally fruited after some 12 - 14 years and a variety of different fertilising regimes and even a harsh cut back, all to no avail! Then this last advice from Matt Lunn to use Potassium Sulphate and a heavy dose of NPK..3607 days 11hrs

Question:

How do I get this tree to set fruit,I have tried nearly everything fro fertilising to even threatening by giving a harsh prune but it just grew better and produced more flowers to fall.

I have a bore so it gets regular water varied fertiliser regime too, the longan on one side and the mangoes on two sides have all fruited well, my banana five meters away are producing for the second time, HELP

ps I live in Connolly a northern Perth suburb.

thanks in anticipation

Eric
