There is a lot of information on how long each variety prefers to be cut. If you see that brown undergrowth (or straw), it's from cutting off too much of the grass after it has grown too long.

It really depends on the type of grass and the growing conditions of the lawn but cutting every two weeks is to be expected.

Mowing Bermuda every three days is not uncommon. I've seen Bent Grass lawns that were cut every morning.

Chicken manure good for citrus trees?
I have some citrus trees, small limes, oranges , grapefruit etc...but i find theyre just growing tall tall tall, whereas i see some at other places from time to time remain short and just spread horizontally. Any help?

I recently started hitting them some bearing salt, as all the while i was giving blaukorn once a year or so, a guy said that could be the reason but i dont think so, because i still find they kinda smally compared to others i have seen in the time they were planted. anyone could shed some light as to what i can give them for them to spread.

This one here is going on 4 years since transplanted

dont mind the bush, it cleaner now and i can provide more pics of other ones if needed

sometimes it just the plant want to behave like that
We normally trim the top and the plant starts to spread out
Plants well generally grow towards the light so most of they will want to grow tall, just clip the top
that garden clean , that grass is easy to cut and cut in no time , some of us have bamboo grass to deal with

Land looks like u can do with some drainage though,waterlogged soils can slow growth

The tree seems healthy but looks like it has never been pruned properly.

You will need a pruning saw and shears (less than $200 total) and a little reading on how much to cut, what to cut and how to shape the tree so that you will get healthier, more productive citrus trees.


You can do a search on "how to prune citrus trees" for more info.

Thanks for the replies fellas,
Some of the trees on slopes , like that one for example you cant see the grade because of the bush but it on a grade, have some trenches down between the coconuts below etc.

Pruning eh, it aint kinda late for a 4 year old tree to now start pruning?
I honestly think now thats the cause of it, i wish i had more pics of the other trees, about 20 - 30 or so of them. Some of them smaller(bachac tormenting them bad), some a little bit wider... but thanks for the reply and will delve into pruning, thanks for the demonstrative pic too!! bless up.

You can start pruning the trees at any age. You may not be able to shape the tree as much because of the existing structure, though.

Citrus trees tend to greatly benefit from removing the dead branches and the branches that rub together no matter the age of the tree.

Pruning is not smart bro,especially for a plant that doesn't have a mass of foliage.you need abundant of leaves for photosynthesis (growth)..Pruning gonna set them back for sure,my advice to you have some patience and let the plant do its own thing.

Man i always have the opposite effect when the tree is pruned . some how it seems to give the tree new life
those diagrams posted are similar to how we prune . we remove most of the inner shoots as they are non bearing , we clip the top if we want the tree to spread . we remove the low branches as fruits when laden will touch ground and spoil
Once a tree is pruned you will see an abundance of new shoots

I agree with you.

Reasons to Prune

Pruning becomes more important for fruit trees than for other trees because you are creating not just a pleasing shape, but a shape that will help the trees to bear high-quality fruit. Left unpruned, heavy upper foliage will shade lower parts of the tree, inhibiting formation of fruiting wood. Eventually, fruit production will be limited to the tips of the high branches where sunlight is present. Harvesting the fruit on a tall tree, perhaps 30 feet high, can be difficult and dangerous. Having a program for pruning will allow the fruit to be harvested more easily, because the tree will be kept shorter and sun will be able to penetrate to the lower fruiting branches. With pruning, the tree is more likely to remain disease-free, larger fruit may result and structural support for the developing fruit will be improved.

Restoring Neglected Trees

As long as the trunk is not hollow, and the tree is not diseased, old fruit trees that have not been pruned for years can be restored to bear fruit again. Tackle the job in stages. Remove any dead branches, suckers and water sprouts the first year. Then, in the second year, remove some of the top branches to let in light, as well as cutting away crossing and inward-pointing branches. Work from the bottom of the tree up and from the trunk outward, opening the center up as you go. By the third year, the framework should be complete, and fruiting can resume.

Haven't really had this problem yet, but these cucumbers were organically grown with no fertilizers or other chemicals at all.

If it's non-orgainic pest control you're looking for that's really hit or miss. One strategy that has semi-worked is planting more than you need. With luck they'll attack the extra "sacrificial plants" and leave the rest alone. It doesn't work if there's already a bad infestation though...:|

Urgent matter please.
This was discussed in this thread. Take a look at May 2017.

Chemical control of the red palm mite, Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) in banana and coconut.

Rodrigues JC1, Peña JE.

Author information

1Crops and AgroEnvironmental Sciences Department, University of Puerto Rico, 1193, Calle Guayacan, San Juan, PR 00926, USA. jose_carlos@mac.com

Abstract

The red palm mite (RPM), Raoiella indica Hirst, is a predominant pest of coconuts, date palms and other palm species, as well as a major pest of bananas (Musa spp.) in different parts of the world. Recently, RPM dispersed throughout the Caribbean islands and has reached both the North and South American continents. The RPM introductions have caused severe damage to palm species, and bananas and plantains in the Caribbean region. The work presented herein is the result of several acaricide trials conducted in Puerto Rico and Florida on palms and bananas in order to provide chemical control alternatives to minimize the impact of this pest. Spiromesifen, dicofol and acequinocyl were effective in reducing the population of R. indica in coconut in Puerto Rico. Spray treatments with etoxanole, abamectin, pyridaben, milbemectin and sulfur showed mite control in Florida. In addition, the acaricides acequinocyl and spiromesifen were able to reduce the population of R. indica in banana trials.

that mite is a real pest and it seems to be an ongoing battle that not being won
there is also fungus which affects the look of nuts.

what is the status of blue waters coconut growing endeavours ?
they have a lot of trees and i understand they allow persons to go buy nuts

I am not a farmer, eh.

However, get one side of an old socks, fill it with table salt and throw it up into the middle of the coconut tree.

Then get some bearing salt (blue colour) and put it around the roots of the tree.

well hear what i heard today and well not for the first time.
to burn around the tree, depending on the height of the tree tie a dry branch around it and burn the branch.

the guy said that works for the bug problem i was encountering too and also you have to put grated blue soap in the socks if you putting it up there.
