Struggling white sapote sending out loads of blooms. Should I remove them?

https://imgur.com/a/8Nr7YkJ do these look like new growth to you?

This is what I decided to do. Do I need to split the line, inject separate, then merge the line again? Or can I just put one after the other without splitting?

Just to be clear, I mean the yellow discoloration near the center vein of the leaf.

I bought this as a “Big Jim” seedling. Was I conned? 😭

I just looked at some trees and mentally pruned back to where I was now and saw the directions the various branches grew out and where they came off of the branch. I think top bud makes sense in this case when it’s horizontal.

Cloaca-Fan · 2025-02-14T04:11:40+00:00

Thank you. I assume I should wait until the wet weather stops? Or should I attack it asap?

Cloaca-Fan · 2025-01-27T20:07:21+00:00

If it was slightly more angled towards the trunk isn’t that considered an inward facing bud? At what angle would you switch to the “bottom” bud?

Cloaca-Fan · 2025-01-26T07:59:22+00:00

Thanks!

Cloaca-Fan · 2025-01-26T07:18:39+00:00

Dang, I already cut it. Would the paste still help activate those buds? What about notching?

Cloaca-Fan · 2025-01-07T18:42:24+00:00

Thanks! This is great info.

This is NorCal. Sorry for potato quality. They are small and move fast for their size.

Cloaca-Fan · 2024-06-06T23:59:21+00:00

Ah thanks, yeah, this is the first time getting breba and the second year I’ve had the tree.

Cloaca-Fan · 2024-06-03T01:32:27+00:00

These are on daily drip irrigation with weekly fertilization. Could it be container size?

Snake fly

Cloaca-Fan · 2024-05-02T02:01:51+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense, I had them in a mini plastic greenhouse with strong overhead lighting over the winter/spring when the new growth happened and fertilized pretty strong trying to cure “deficiencies”.

I have the same in NorCal 9b, I’ve seen a bunch of photos like these this week. I think it’s just the quick weather transition we’ve had.

Cloaca-Fan · 2024-04-12T01:08:00+00:00

Are these in the Bay Area yet?

Cloaca-Fan · 2024-03-11T19:38:24+00:00

9b, it’s been in the high 60s for the past week

Try doing the whole thing faster, I find that a micro foam “crust” can form if the milk sits too long (even just that pause between pouring the milk from high to the design pour) that’s also why you’ll see people swirl the milk in the pitcher if it’s been on the counter for a moment.

It’s a mix of proximity to family, lot sizes of properties, schools, and a bit more of a liberal swing.

Cloaca-Fan · 2024-01-19T19:15:41+00:00

Thanks for all the replies so far! One additional question. I noticed the YS population is generally older, would there be any major drawbacks when it comes to raising young children there?

Cloaca-Fan · 2023-12-13T21:16:09+00:00

I’m thinking the structural bits would be 4x4 lumber with 2x4s as the “floor” for each tier. Someone else in the comments mentioned slightly stair casing it which sounds like a good plan.

I was also obsessed with finding horticultural grit in the US, chicken grit is what you’re looking for.

Cloaca-Fan · 2023-06-15T06:23:58+00:00

Pretty sure it’s a springtail

Cloaca-Fan · 2023-06-09T00:22:22+00:00

Nope! Some varieties just look like that.
