![]() Wow! Major crop. Congratulations.
Can you put together some comparison pics (profile, pstem, flower, whatever else looks interesting/different) with descriptions (height, circumference) of your RP and Dwarf Brazilian? You have them both flowering at the same time so would be great to get some comparison info. since these two are suppose to be quite similar. Thanks BBJ! PS What are those green things photo bombing the banana pics? Young papayas? |

Thanks, all the work starting to pay off! The Dwarf Brazilian flowered a lot shorter than its supposed to (stunted?) so the height factor won’t be accurate, but I’ll be happy to post pics comparing them! Yes they’re papayas! I am eating the ones the papaya fruit flies aren’t ![]() |

![]() Great job Joe! Looking good.
The blossom end rot might be a result of low calcium. Or too much water, as calcium is absorbed when the soil is dry. Last edited by AaronTT : Yesterday at 11:57 AM. |
