Black Sapote - Maher (Cutting) 10/10Andrew26's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2445 days 1hrs Comments: - This is the start of my tropical plant growing. The picture shows my 1st, and cheapest greenhouse - an old fridge with the sides jigsawed out, and replaced with piecess of perspex and glass that I had lying around. At the moment it is a temporary home for black sapotes, coffees, blueberries, dragon fruit, and a pepino - with more on the way. When it gets a little too hot - the thermometer inside shows >=35oC, I crackopen the top door. It is kept warm - around 24oC O/N, even on below zero, frosty nights here in Clare, with a 70W incandescent glope, old quit and a tarp if it is raining. Next GH will be a shuttle with a clear polycarb top, before progressing to a poly tunnel, and finally, a twin walled polycarbonate GH with summer cooling and winter heating.

Black SapoteSEPD's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5363 days 9hrs Comments: - I do not know but it seemed to react badly to Adealide's climate. Leaves fell off at the slightest chill and burnt in the 40deg summer heat. So it struggled over a summer and winter with lots of TLC and shade cloth but in the end died. Was this review helpful?
