Yummy, yum 😋 😋

Flea beetles breed in tall grass & weeds, so cut it. Many other bugs will hide under a slightly damp towel or burlap. Put them out at sunset & turn over, then kill invasives in the morning. Sticky traps, drowning trap containers, zappers. Tapping tomato branches at sunrise to find worms, as...

Just got more rain in the last 10 minutes, than the previous 7 months. Still a horrible drought.

It gets used in very heavy rainfall areas which are deficient in copper, very humid & have lots of anthracnose problems. Else not usually the best option. For Tomato leaf mold, Botrytis Cinerea, powdery mildew & bacterial leaf spot, (1/100) teaspoon of Borax in a gallon of water works better...

For California, I would most likely establish a propagation nursery contract with a retail nursery which could legally ship into California. I would probably bulk sell young clones & let other companies up pot & grow for a couple of years before selling.

I will be focusing only on plants which can be bred to produce cultivars that yield quality fruits in our environment. Monsoons have mostly been clouds which passed us by without rain. Less than (1/2) inch this entire year. Normal is 14" per year. Eventually, hopefully, selling wherever I...

Have you tested your soil or water for copper levels? Copper is only really effective in environments which are slightly low in copper or have trouble with soil fungi precipitating Copper. Else it does more harm than good. Disease can also happen when Magnesium or Phosphate is too high, Calcium...

If they didn't specify varietal, nor specify "Select", or "Ultra-Select", or "Premium Ultra-Select", then it is wild. "Select" is a cross between a variety & wild. "Ultra-Select" is a hybrid of 2 quality varietals. Premium "Ultra-Select" is a top quality faster growing healthier specimen of the...

@ducks4you Ferric Oxide toxicity happens thousands of different ways. Planet Earth is 35% Iron. Most of it in the Earth's core. However, there is a lot in the soil. That in the soil is mostly Iron(ii) Oxide which is black & not water soluble. Some occurs as Iron(iii) Oxide or Ferric Oxide...

I was explaining why quality is expensive with pawpaw.

You neglected to mention the $80 tree varietal. A $10 pawpaw trees will be a wild seedlings of limited fruit size & quality! For $50 you can get a quality Ultra-Primium Select PawPaw seedling from the best of the best pawpaw nursery. It would be a hybrid of 2 of the best of the best varieties...

Phaedra Geiermann, Perfect location for muscadines. Puts you close to very large untapped potential markets, as well as at the edge of optimal growing range!

Cultivars are going to be a lot more than seedlings. All Cloning techniques fail. Grafts have low take, with 40% to 60% death rates in the first 2 years after take & a 30% death rate on transplanting. You will most likely want to top work seedlings at 5 years of age with multiple cultivar...

Cultivar (inbreeding, crossing, hybrids, interspecifics & chromosome doubling). Interests: Asimina triloba, Vitis (vinifera, labrusca & rotundifolia), common fig, red flesh apples, persimmons, all Genus Prunus, pomegranates, kiwi, guava, passion fruit, mango, Annonaceae. Anything (tropical or...

North Carolina is the perfect place to grow Asimina triloba aka PawPaw. I recommend: "NC-1", "Susquehanna", "Tallahatchie", "Danae's Creekside", "Marshmallow" & "Cawood".

Greetings, you are in an awesome location for success!

Awesome raised bed for the garden with tanning roof, A/C, wine cooler, custom air mattress & garden security monitoring system.

I've lived in multiple locations in the Mojave & Sonoran Deserts for over 6 decades. Remove all damaged leaves & spray (branches, nodes & apical meristem) with (1/2) teaspoon Citric Acid per gallon of water, once a week until full recovery. New leaves will be more insect resistant & heat...

Jovial welcome to all symbiotic lifeforms, for mutual thought therapy interactions, from Mikey ZinHead Plant Detective. I will be attempting to develop cultivars for arid environments, turn my new location in the Sonoran Desert into an oasis nursery, hopefully someday this decade.

The taste good like a real grape should. Generally 16% to 24% sugar. Flavor is like foxy pungent (sweet/tart) (grape/black raspberry/GrannySmith/JackFruit).
