Haha sounds like you have it figured out, good things come to those who wait.

Good to know and will do.

Sandy soil, why do you ask?

@@flackfruit because I would hypothesize the soil they are in doesn't retain water enough. I'm an opposite situation - in AZ with soil that is clay in some spots and loamy in others. We've planted about 20 citrus in the past five years and the ones that came potted in sandy soils took MUCH longer to adapt and needed a lot more waterings. Citrus like deep infrequent waterings so I think the sandy soil having you water more often wouldn't be ideal. Ours truly only adapted once the roots made their way to the native soil which retains water better. Clay soil is the other extreme, but I think if you could make it more loamy you would retain a lot more nutrients and have to water less often. I understand that sand is often suggested because it drains well, but it also doesn't retain a lot of nutrients.

No idea, I have not cleaned the air filter at all, have had no problems.

For some reason I haven't been able to get the day light savings time to work, but I don't use it for time so it is not that big of a deal for me.

It is worth a try.

If it is just leaves and no twigs, they last about two bags full. In my experiece.

I do not fertilize my Jujube's with my other trees I will fertilize a month before blooming, when they set fruit, then after harvest. But Jujubes in my experience don't need any, they produce fine with what is in the soil. I use organic fertilizers, they stay in the soil longer and provide long lasting nutrition.

Thanks, I am sorry it is not working for you, I am sure there are bad batches, too many variables. Mine is still going strong.

@@flackfruit I returned it and got the one with the bigger display It works fine so far.

Thanks, that is what most people are telling me, I will graft a sugar cane to it and see if there is a difference this next year.

Nope, no spraying they have been doing great except for all of the birds that get to the fruit.

I have no idea, I don't live in the UK, I would rewire it to make it work with the plugs you have available.

Yep, me too, every time they eventually die. But I have not had luck with Figs either. I hear they are easy to root.

Thanks, I will do it..... I just need to get some leaves.

All but one has died in the heat. I am thinking of doing a green house to try and increase survival rate. 115 does quick damage to these trees.

It would have to be a very durable paper bag, but if anything you could not have it attached to the mulcher and just pile it in after mulching it all.

I have a couple that are larger, but the majority are very small, half the size of a cherry.

No, but it is slowly working.....

I am not sure, it probably states it on the list of trees it will work on and the types of diseases.

I tried it last year. Please watch the video of my grafts and the success after grafting in the summer. where I live... I wouldn't recommend it. Too much heat for the graft to survive.

My understanding is suckers come from the ground shoots come from a limb on the bush or tree. I might have miss stated that in the video.

@@flackfruit Thanks!

Yeah I will do a winter video on what I do to keep them alive with during freezing temps. But you get much lower temps than I do. Thanks for watching.

That is because no spray helps with the curling. I hose it off every once in a while but tried a new method of attack this last year that worked. I will be posting a video on it. So you don't waste your time.

Thank you for the long response. It sucks to hear about some of your trees dying. I have a couple of others just hanging on right now, but we will see what happened. I will pull back the mulch, it is usually for roots anyways not the trunk. I usually don't water by the trunk so that is why I thought it wouldn't be a problem. I had an arborist dump them for me a year ago. I need to find more mulch though. I also just purchased 10 fig trees in pots in CA and brought them back, they are doing well I had to repot some of them but they might go in the ground next year. Would you be ok with me stopping by your place to see what you have set up? PM me if you are interested. Thanks for watching.

@flackfruit Yeah, I guess it happens down here. A neighbor gets citrus type trees every year & they keep dying on him, but he's determined to figure it out. Did the Arborist charge any money for the mulch? There's Chip drop... watch some UA-cam videos. Maybe worth it, but may need quite a few others to share the mulch/chips with. That's awesome about the 10 fig trees. What gallon pots & what varieties? I have 7 varieties, most are small, but hopefully big next year when I plant them in the ground... need to rip out more landscape bushes that are just messy. That would be totally cool with me if you stopped by, I was actually thinking it would be cool to see your place as well to get ideas from. I'll try to figure out how to PM you. Sincerely, Matthew

Maybe I will make a video on it.

Haha, that is true. I think it is more scary that a perfectly healthy tree just died so quickly. But, I will try something different. Thanks.

Good to know, thank you for the correction. Yes, most of my grafted varieties are thriving right now, since the rootstock is established.

Sounds good to me. I will prepare for it this next year. When I watered every day my more established trees wilted, they didn't come back with new growth until after changing back to deep every other day. So it could be that I have trained the older ones to go deeper with roots and the newer ones didn't get it often enough. At those temps I would agree with you, every day. Edge of Nowhere farms does it 2-3xs a week and they are in AZ just north of Phoenix they haven't had any problems, but they are also watering almost 90 gal per tree per week.

@@flackfruit Soils also make a huge difference. You're older trees could be in clay, or even worse, rotting compost. You could have good soil in one spot and 10 feet away really bad soil. You don't want the water ponding for long around the trees. But my guess is you have perhaps fallen for the I must plant in compost fallacy. Compost is rotting material. You want that on the top six to eight inches where the feeder roots are, not down below underground. Think of a forest and mimic that. The compost is always on the top and that's why they are called feeder roots. When you bury compost when planting, you're going to have problems down the road as the tree matures.

yes, but, they are on the soil surface, under the mulch. They seem to be doing well, do you have different recommendations?

@@flackfruit That shoud be Fine, Here in dry Texas I want to put it 20 inches below Water travels up 2 time the speed it goes down with the idea of keeping the surface dry by limiting cycle time

Thanks for the feedback, I will give it a try.

Thanks, I can give them more shade :)

lol, I will be more concise next time.

Yes, we call them June bugs here they love the fruit.

When I watered more, some of the trees were showing signs of overwatering so I cut back again and yes I agree, I was not watering enough for the heat wave and was too little too late. Hopefully I will learn from the lesson. Thanks.

I know it is non-pawpaw territory, but I still have to try. I am a couple of years later, they are just slowly dying, I get good growth the first spring and then it seems like I can't do anything to get them to grow. But I know of a couple of people near me that are growing them successfully. So I might change location and give it another go. Thanks for the response.

Sugarcane is sweeter, Redland had a more nutty flavor to it and not as sweet. but was 4x the size so more to eat.

That is a possibility, I will look into it. Thanks.

lol, thanks for watching until the end! Two others did get tunneled, most are on Citation, I think I will give it a try with what you are saying with other rootstock. I did it successfully with Persimmon, I think I can do it with stone fruit. Thanks!!

Agreed. Other rootstocks may do better than citation. Sorry for your loss man.

I wish that would work with the umbrellas. I get 40 mph winds here almost on a daily basis and the current shade cloth has to be replaced/adjusted almost every year. I tried the rocks stones but it died with one of the trees. I will give it another go.

@@flackfruit Yikes!

Thanks.

I have read that, they also don't like arid locations. I don't know if I am going to keep trying either. Maybe if I get a green house.

Southern Utah, temps are closer to Las Vegas temps than Utah temps.

I am currently making one that shows the progression from leafing out, flowering, fruit, to harvest. Won't be posted until after Oct.

@@flackfruit looking forward to ity

​@@flackfruitdid you ever make this video? I'm curious if the raven fruits are truly black or just orange with some black tinting.
