Default Re: please help! having a problem during fruiting

There are plenty of places like eHow, and pitangadiego has some good growing tips. But this is probably one of the best because you can get advice from other people who are growing them. Also, for future reference, you might want to try a variety that's hardier and has stronger leaves. The wind is just terrible in our area, especially in the Balboa Highlands where I am. Raja Puri is a good choice. It stays short, is cold hardy, and the wind here doesn't damage the leaves nearly as much as other varieties. I should have a pup ready in a few weeks if you're interested. Dwarf Namwah would also be good, but I don't have that one. You just have to keep in mind though that in our area we do have wind and the occasional frost, and because of that it's possible to lose the fruit.
