Atemoyas - Fruits are getting bigger - Dec 2024

[@Gonzalo_M]

I’m impressed by how beautiful your atemoyas are! Specially the Geffner. Maybe the African Pride have smaller fruits this year since your pruned it and has many fruits. So developped more in quantity and less in size.
Either way, you’re doing great! 😃

Wonderful video..was that organic fertilizer you used? What's the npk..thanks

[@thenoobgardener]

It's regular synthetic 16-16-16 from homedepot.

[@williamsmith9815]

Nice. I hear its not good to fertilize during winter season. Im assuming slow release is ok?​@@thenoobgardener

[@thenoobgardener]

@ not slow release. I have done it for the past 5 years and all was good.

[@williamsmith9815]

@@thenoobgardener Do you consider your fruit to be organic since your using synthetic fertilizer?

[@thenoobgardener]

@ I don’t think so…..but no pesticide so it’s still better. Organic farming is messy and takes a lot of time which I don’t have at the moment.

Thank you for the update. I was wondering if I could fertilizer my African Pride at this time, it hasn't grown in size, so I will definitely try it. It's my first season with fruits, bought it flowering.

[@thenoobgardener]

nice, good luck.

Hi,
Thanks for Sharing! What kink of Fertilizer do you use for the last push?

[@thenoobgardener]

Just my regular 16-16-16 from homedepot.

[@karenlau353]

Thank you!

Try using Alsaka fish fertilizer liquid dilute with water. If you water regularly, your fruits should not be cracked, but if you water now and fertilize and due to the cold weather, your fruits will crack.

What zone are you in? How cold hardy are the trees?
