Everything looks great
I have a few tangerines, they are my favorite citrus.
Can you please tell me what size pot your Satsuma is in?
Potting soil mix?
Fertilization schedule?
Do you use foliar sprays or iron drenches?

What a great yield for your Satsuma plus you were able to get that strawberry guava into a pot without much damage.

everything's looking so green and beautiful, Jacob.
Love how Prolific sap's bounced back, did you have it in the green house first 2years vs NOW?

thanks for the awesome update my friend

Why did you pull the strawberry guava up? I was thinking about getting one of those as they do well in my area. Do you like the taste? How does it compare to true Guavas?

Everything looks nice...

Hello Friends,

Thanks for all the nice compliments.

Zands - The Satsuma is in what is probably a 20 gallon pot. It has been in there a couple of years so I am not so sure of the Potting Mix. I do fertilize with a slow release Osmocote type fertilizer every 3 months and the occasional Iron Drench. It is a great little tree and the fruit is Great. As for the Strawberry Guava, it wasn't as hard to take out as I thought and we got it out with the root ball relatively intact. We put it into what is approximately a 30 gallon pot. It dropped some leaves initially but it has since bounced back and is doing great. It has been about 1 month since transplanting and it is still alive so I think it should be okay.

esco_socal - Thanks Again, The Sapodilla was actually outside. It did okay outside the first year, it just didn't grow any. Then the 2nd year, is when it almost died. Then it bounced back and started to grow nicely, still outside, and that's when I put it into the Greenhouse and it did even better.

melikeeatplants - I took out the Strawberry Guava because I want to sell it. It had been in the ground for over 20 years. Since space is such a huge commodity, and it is not one of my favorite fruits, it had to go. It actually produces like crazy, and the fruits are big and good tasting, it's just that I would rather have a Mango or Lychee tree in its place. As far as how it compares to true guavas, I guess it is kind of similar in texture to some, but I am not so sure as far as taste since there are so many different varieties of Guavas out there.

Thanks Again,

Jacob

Come on Jacob...is that all you got? Actually, quite an impressive collection. Not sure what you are going to do in the winter time once these potted trees get more size, but in the meantime, you look like you got it under control. That tangerine is incredible. Looks like it is going to fruit itself to death. Thanks for taking the time to post this update.

Awesome collection!

Hi Jacob,

Beautiful layout, everything is growing great! I agree with you about the strawberry guava I axed mine this summer - actually, I gave it away. I love to see your mangos, sapodillas and flaboyants when you have time. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Good Lord Jacob! What will you do with them all when they get to even half their mature size?

The happiest collection of plants I've ever seen, hands down. You should have been "in the business" my friend,
and probably living in South Florida with a botanical Ph.D. after your name.....they are all very impressive specimens...

Does the rest of Santa Barbara know of your secret passion????

LOL - keep it up......mangoarfie

Very Impressive.... !

Jacob,

Excellent pictures, everything looks so healthy. Great job on maintaining all your trees especially the container plants. We should meet up again sometime and trade, I got a bunch of new interesting perennial vegetables. Btw, did you have success with the Acai seeds?

Hello Friends,

Thanks Again for all of your compliments.

Joe - Thank you my friend. I will post pictures of my Mangos in the next few days. I have a few Flamboyant trees and 4 Sapodillas from the seeds you gave me. They are doing great but have stopped growing since it has cooled down. They are still pretty small but healthy, I will posts some pics soon.

Mango Perro - Thanks.......only a few people know about my secret garden.

Marinfla - Gracias

Nullzy - Can you e-mail me your address so I can send you that Arizona Purple. I got the Acai seeds to germinate, they are just growing incredibly slow. They are about 2 inches but healthy. I have them in the Greenhouse but are still slow to grow. I'll keep you updated.

- Jacob

Wow Jacob, you've been busy adding to your collection! Everything is looking great and green as always, keep it up.
Oh and dang you, you pointed out a few more trees I need to add to my collection. :)
