The new metal fence looks fantastic; it's a huge improvement over the chain link fence on many levels. Have you gotten your ice cream bean trees to set and fully ripen pods?
I planted a Florida Prince Peach tree that we purchased last spring and waited to plant in Oct when we got back. It had a lot of fruit this spring but there were too many on it. Lesson learned for next spring. Now all the leaves are turning yellow. Is this normal? I will send you a picture.
Thanks for replying - Are you worried about the uprights rotting in the natural soil? Did you install yourself or hire someone to do it?@@ArizonaFruitTrees
@@robb4866 I did some of it, my son did most of the work. the materials are available at Bonanza Pipe and Steel. The fence was around 3K. A block wall would have been around 15K
Hi Jay, love the west metalic wall. ??? Do you graft the Shangrila mulberries or are they own root? If grafted, can you tell me what the root stock is? Thanks. The one I got from you is doing well in its new home. 😊❤
Starfruit has always been a very productive fruit tree even when neglected in their native range. So that amount of fruit on a small tree is pretty normal. Which mean you've done a lot of thing right to meet all the condition for it to produce like that in a place like Arizona.
@@ArizonaFruitTrees Sumo is a pretty delicate variety and i def think there are better mandarin varieties.They tend to rot on the tree after it rains. igrow a lot of citrus in the So Cal valley and Shasta Gold is my favorite.
Question: Katy apricot in ground zone 9b-10 California high dessert behind a trailer morning shadow shade full sun til sunset, nice bloom this year bees did their thing the wind didn’t wipe out the flowers and the tree is full of little apricots especially lower limbs, first year fruit the tree is about 4ft high second year in the ground. Question is do I remove all the first year fruit or some fruit or just leave it alone?
Growing star fruit really doesn't make sense because you can't eat a lot of them (research) and they produce way too much. Sure you can give them to people but I'd rather grow something that I can eat a lot of.
It makes a ton of sense. A beautiful tree with one of the most tasty and unique fruits in the world. As the fruit matures the oxalate content decreases, and by the time it's fully ripe it's only contained in the very edges of the ribs which can easily be trimmed off. Spinach is way worse than carambola.
@@SuburbicultureAZ yes. Not only that but I only eat one a day. If i ate 8 oranges or a whole watermelon, i would get sick. Everything is eaten in moderation, too much steak will kill you too!
@SuburbicultureMicroFarm It's not just the oxalates which are still in the fruit even if you remove the edges. It also has a neurotoxin named after it. Are you suggesting you can eat a lot of it without any concerns? Healthy kidneys or not, you shouldn't eat a lot of it. That's how I framed my argument. Of course you could eat a lot of it, but you probably shouldn't based on the evidence.
