| Yes, that's right, it is a /yard update, because none of my tropicals are planted in the yard per se. But here is a bit of an update, with a question at the end.

| Wow Robert, your greenhouse is looking great, those carambolas, incredible! My madrono and achachairu look about the same, abius are a little different, shorter, wider but less green. amazing what you can do up there, |

| Very well done! My grum did the same thing. Don't count that little sugar apple out. If there are not many more, than you should get a few to hold on. |

| Thanks all. So Jacob and Jay, your grumichamas did the same thing at the leaf tips...did you try anything for this? Just by observation, I would say that it seems to be unrelated to pests or extremes of soil moisture. I've tried cutting back on the fert some and maybe that has helped, but I can't tell yet. |

| That's a whole lot of really well grown plants/trees, Robert. I doubt that anyone in the same conditions could have done better. You PR garcinias look better than mine. Re: the Grumichama issue, I have seen it here too. Unfortunately, I have no explanation as to why it occurs. The good news, the tree doesn't seem to mind it in general. However, I have had some occasions where this was a precursor to a branch die back. Keep a close eye on it. Harry |

| Yeah...tough tough trees. Mine took temps into the 20's and killed about 80% of the tree. Whoops! Wasn't going to bring it in at all but then had a change of heart. Almost too late. After cutting all that dead away, it came back nicely. Try some good micro nutrient sprays. |
