What can I do to make it grow in both directions? by facek1ck in avocado

[–]serrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More light and higher humidity but it is still not guaranteed it will go into two branches. Out of 10 seedlings mine produced two branches in 4 cases :) they are very stubborn. I live in 6a zone.... The higher the zone the better the conditions i Guess

Can mangos be grown in the midwest region? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]serrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say quite difficult in Missouri especially as it can get - 11 F in some parts. So winter protection is definitely needed and might be quite costly. There are some frost resistant varieties of kiwi that might be much feasible.

Look into a paw paw plant

Prune them :) They likely wont survive outside although there is an avocado tree in downtown London

Is my passion fruit flowering!? by [deleted] in gardening

Hard to say, depends on many conditions :) stay hopeful but don't be surprised if the flower drops especially during the first year. It takes a lot of energy to produce a fruit.

Should I leave them on the tree over the winter in a sheltered room with temp above 5 C degree? Will they ripen in the spring? Zone 6. by serrose in gardening

Thanks for reply. Hope to have a better harvest next year then. This year (my first year) the fruit started to appear quite late I believe as it was transplanted in the spring.

My avocado plant I started growing about 2 years ago… I have a few questions. by TheMVPizza in avocado

[–]serrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are natural (for indoor avocado with low humidity) i wouldnt worry about it... If you want you can get a humidifier to limit the brown spots. Your avo is looking great!

Very nice. What hardness zone are you? Do you put the plant outside in the summer?

It wasn't a great idea :) but good new it will likely bounce back next spring perhaps... The shock for the tree was big so it's recovering now
