My other decent Asian Pear, the size of a small apple, not sure what variety because the tag is gone, I bought this from Home Depot. Does anyone know what variety this is.
Maybe Charentais melon, this will be picked this weekend and give away. I can’t believe I’m bored of eating this melon, but I already had 5-6 fruit already.
i grew a few Caroline here but like heritage the frost kills them before you get half the crop. youre a little warmer than me so maybe it will work for you.
@Bradybb … here at my place… z7a southern middle TN… the SWD seem to show up (arrive) and leave… with our wild blackberry crop.
Wild blackberries are abundant here… and ripen July 1 to Aug 15 on average.
Prior to July 1… i have not seen any SWD here… and my raspberries ripen (spring crop) May 25 to June 25 on average.
And then in the fall… my raspberries start ripening mid / late August and continue until November…
I have had no problems with SWD on my raspberries… now if i had raspberries ripening at the same time as our wild blackberries ripen… i expect that would be trouble.
I’m not totally knowledgeable about the fly’s life cycle and other factors,like temperature preferences, but there are probably different components that make an environment,most conducive,to do their thing.
I had my Hosui and shinseiki yesterday, they were decently sweet, they were not normal size. Yesterday I dug a big hole to move my Shinseiki to the ground, I don’t think it will bear much fruit in the container. Let’s hope it will do well there next year.
For years I tried to grow large water melon with no success, but here it is from my compost, unbelievable.
Just walked past a local blackberry patch (the invasive Himalayan type, of course), and they are nearing the peak of their season I’d say, but still plenty of fruit to ripen later:
Definitely a later and longer season than usual after our extra cold spring. They are pretty juicy but still not as flavorful as the native trailing blackberry. They all have a little extra protein in them, too:
My 2 HJ trees are finally carrying decent crops after 4 years. I give mine extra micronutrients after they leaf out, and potash whenever I’m fertilizing the persimmons. Maybe that helps.
