Two years… If I waited that long, it would be a disaster! Glad it works for you though!

Too much fruit is never really too much! Plant your own, grow your own, harvest your own, and share…

I don’t grow blueberries, but I’ve seen videos of high-bush cultivars in the UK, and they certainly looked prolific and easy to manage. From what I’ve heard/read, I imagine that they would do well in poor, acidic, sandy soil like in pine forests. Is that the kind of soil that you have?

You are not the first to answer blackberries, and I just wonder, do blackberries not grow out of control in other places? Sure they’re easy to keep alive once established, but to actually keep them manageable, is there not a lot of pruning required?

(Asian pears are awesome, by the way. The fruit, anyway. Tried it once, and it puts the common pears to shame.)

Spooky due to the blood-stained insides?

I used to have

mast year every year

Did your tree live fast and die young?

Okay, that’s enough out of you.

Amen brother hallelujah!

Continuous harvest is the best! We can’t just stop eating when the plants stop fruiting, so having successive fruiting seasons in a year is really helpful. If durian fruited year-round… monoculture would be tempting.

Do you trellis the blackberries or just let them sprawl everywhere?

Yes, that is a bush. What do you like about it?

How big do those trees get?

…Close enough.

Yeah, give saskatoons a try! You’d be surprised what’s possible even in your climate.

In order to flower well, longan usually needs a “winter” season with min temps <12°C and/or less rain. While fruiting, hot and wet is best. At sea level in the tropics, the low temps usually don’t occur, and even if the winter is dry enough for longan to flower (but not dry enough to kill it), the other half of the year usually doesn’t get as hot as subtropical summers, so the fruits might not develop properly. Either you have a strange tropical breed of longan, or you are very lucky to have the right conditions where you live.

I don’t want to ask for your exact location, but longan at sea level is… unusual. Don’t take it for granted. Cherish it.

…Well at least there’s no grass to chop.

The developers sold out, and the new parent company wanted to add opt-out telemetry IIRC. They received a lot of backlash and apparently reduced the data collected, but they had proven that they could not be trusted, and multiple forks were made before the new version with telemetry even released. Tenacity is what came of at least two of those forks.

I guess rambutans can’t be stopped from making too many babies! 😆

I’ve never grown calamondin, so I can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that you really did stunt it… How much of the tree did you cut off?

EDIT: What elevation are you growing both soursop and longan? Do you have a dry winter there?

I just live somewhere cold

That is unfortunate. Are the raspberries fruiting now? How long until saskatoons?

I might try growing okra again someday. When it’s good, it’s good.

Hey, some trees fruit so hard that they lose all of their leaves…
