Also made my first batch of guava leaf tea today. Asians swear by it. I prune guavas all the time and figured I might as well make use of the fresh leaves. Waiting for it to cool to try it.
I make fruit tree leaf tea all the time, though I usually blend things. I’ve never tried guava by itself. I also don’t spray anything on my trees, organic or not. I enjoy throwing dewberry leaves in many of my herbal blends and there’s no shortage of dewberries around.

Thanks for this. I definitely want to check out the Persimmon talk.
Good idea on the bucket. It’s starting to pop up around some of my fruit tree areas so I need to get a grip on it before that becomes a problem.
My biggest concern is that it’s under a tree canopy, so dappled light at best. Hopefully the tarping is just as effective.
My property is bordered on two sides by a drainage canal type thing. I leave that strip wild and have plenty of dewberries, elderberry, buttonbush, etc. I actually enjoy the elderberry and make a couple batches of syrup when they come in. I do have one section that’s getting overrun by bush killer. I’m going as nuclear as I’m willing to go there by spraying triclopyr as selectively as possible to get it under control then I’ll go with manual removal and a paint brush. That stuff is a menace.

Any tips for getting started on a decent sized area? I have a spot that’s currently being overrun with dewberries. Trying to convert it to a woodland feel. Should I just mow it down and start covering with cardboard/tarps until winter?
I don’t have any specific muscadine wisdom, but I have to say, I love seeing little pops of wood sorrel flowers this time of year.

Where did you get them and how much yard space do you have?
Pretty sure they came from Almost Eden. They went in the ground in ‘23, so hasn’t actually been THAT long. I have plenty of space though for trying more.

Anybody else have pineapple guava (feijoa) blooming?
I was really hoping this was the year, but still nothing. I’m guessing mine are just seedlings that will take a while.
Looks like Guava is getting ready
I also just noticed this on my pomegranate. This is the Salvatski variety.

Lol, boy have I been through that. Hear me when I say this: just wait. Wait and wait and wait. Probably wait until late summer. Citrus, despite having extremely resilient roots, love to act like they are dying after container to ground or ground to container transplants. I have had them drop every single leaf and stress bloom before turning into green twigs. Then, months later, they shoot out new leaves like nothing ever happened. In fact, they almost always recover the very second that I give up and spend money on a replacement. That's why I have two meiwa kumquats and two cara cara oranges. Don't believe their bullshite. It's fake news.
lol. I figure as long as they scratch green and I don’t need the pots I’ll let them ride. I’m almost tempted to put them in the ground in a spot where my Satsumas seem to be thriving, but I don’t know if I want to deal with the protection again with the way winters have been going.
My pawpaws haven’t leafed out yet either and still scratch green.
I also have a navel orange and a Meyer lemon that haven’t done anything yet. They had been struggling in the ground so I put them in pots this fall to make it easier to protect. They dropped most of their leaves, but still no signs of life yet.

Here’s a different angle. There’s on branch at about 16” and a couple more forming about 24”. I can always top there. This is a generic ‘pink’ from Home Depot.
Need some pruning advice. My guava is getting a bit too tall. I was thinking of topping the central leader as shown. Any issues with doing that?
How big will barbados Cherry get here? I need to get it out of the bark soil and just wondering how big of a pot to use.

that’s the same one I bought. stuck it in the ground yesterday
I think I’m going to go with a pot. One less thing to cover. I can just wheel it in.
Thanks! Fixed in above post.
Just found a sad little Barbados Cherry at Lowe’s and got it for $8. Need to wash off the waterlogged soil and get it in some shade for a bit to recover.
PS. What is everyone using for image hosting these days?

Yep, hoping this is the last of winter
Another cold snap in the forecast. Forecasted low of 33 in Ascension. Hoping that holds or comes up some.
Looking good! I’m very excited for spring. Looks like I may have saved a couple of loquat fruits so fingers crossed!
