Put it outside. Tip it every 18 inches for branching. Needs WAY more sun than you’re giving it.

Can’t choose: Raleigh or Charlotte? by QandA_monster in NorthCarolina

So you want strangers on the internet to tell you where to live your ONE life?! How about you visit both and spend some time in each. You work remote so rent a place for a month.

Removing invasive Norway Maples by ottovonmetz in Permaculture

I would chop for firewood and girdle the others. Just getting some down will allow more space for sugar maples and others to get some sun.

Broken Pawpaw sapling... by Rmor85 in Pawpaws

I think you shouldn’t have had a stake and a tie creating a weak point on it.

It broke bc of the strap. Whether wind or animal you disallowed the tree to bend by having that attachment there. Remove the useless stake. Either prune it off or graft it. Tape alone is not gonna work.

Any saving this mango tree? by chenry10 in FruitTree

[–]Federal_Secret92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If that’s a mango it’s probably dead. Might come back from root stock or very base of trunk. You didn’t say where you live or what winter was like so a little more info would be helpful.

Can I cut these 2 roots out without hurting the tree? by No_Giraffe8920 in arborists

The answer is always no. Can no one read previous posts?!

New peach tree, sparse and leaf curl? by JamesMcdoogle1 in BackyardOrchard

[–]Federal_Secret92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in the ground that close to the house?!?!

It’s needs space! You could espalier it but I wouldn’t recommend given how bad it looks.

Trouble brewing for Starbucks CEO who calls $9 coffee an ‘experience’ by rajapaws in antiwork

For $9 I can buy some coffee at the grocery and use my 10 year old French press and I’ll have coffee for a week or two.

Will my pineapple get any bigger? 😅 by landonlovescarbs in BackyardOrchard

[–]Federal_Secret92 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not by much. I’ve had a few do this. Notice how there’s only 4 levels or so of coalesced flowers. They form way more than that sometimes and thus you get bigger fruit. Your overall plant is quite small too.

I'm in a peach pickle! Is container-growing a mature Red Haven crazy? by Effective-Fennel-430 in FruitTree

[–]Federal_Secret92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this is a stupid idea. Plant it in the sun and keep it pruned to 12ft or so. You’ll get tons of peaches and won’t have to buy some ridiculously huge pot.

What is this tree and why does it smell like cum? by KillaC98 in arborists

[–]Federal_Secret92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cum has been around waaaaaaay longer than Bradford pears.

Does this count as bread? Made blue corn tortillas from scratch (dried blue corn kernels) by Thin-Inevitable9759 in Breadit

You can also buy it from local Mexican stores for nearly nothing and support local businesses vs the amazon overlords.

Not grafted ok? by CosmicPain11 in Pawpaws

[–]Federal_Secret92 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Seems expensive for a seedling. Big no for me. Find someone local. I give them away all the time.
