Just having a hard time getting fruit
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:32 pm
We have citrus trees, pomegranite tree, fig, banana and avocado. And growing wolf berries from seed....
The citrus have been planted for 4 years and we are still getting very little fruit. We get some amount of fertilization through hand pollination, but a lot of the fuits turn black and hard when they are very small. There is a rather difficult scale issue that we are having a hard time controlling... but not all citrus are affected. In fact the lime tree has the worst scale and made the most fruits last summer.
THe fig tree is new, but we did get a few figs this year, although many more fell off prematurely.
Avacodo is new, and we hope for a few avocado's next year.
Pomegranite has produced a few pomegranites for the lest two years, just not very many. The tree is now 12 feet tall and we probably only got 15 fruits.
We grow lots of tomates and peppers all year (the fruits get smaller though the winter).
At this point I'd really like some help getitng the citrus to not have so much fruit die on us. ANd how to get the pomegranite to make more fruit.
THanks!
