Plus, everybody needs a break occasionally, fruit trees included.
Q: We have two 30-year-old sago palms that we transplanted to our yard last October. The fronds they had then died so we trimmed those off. This sago threw a beautiful male bloom and is now fading. We finally see some growth at the bottom of the sago but so far, no new growth at the top. Should we pop the pups off so the energy will force its way to the main part of the plant? Or should we leave the pups? Is the main sago part done for? What do you say? It’s getting watered every other day.
Sago palms, although relatively easy to grow, can be touchy about overwatering and drainage. If the plant’s new location is not as well drained as its previous location, you will want to cut back on watering. Don’t let the soil get soggy since that can quickly lead to root rot and kill your plant. They are also heavy feeders, so fertilize regularly.
Q: I have a mature avocado tree that flowers and appears healthy but stopped bearing fruit during the time our house was being rented. Are you sure it stopped producing while the house was a rental? Your tenants may have harvested all the fruit and neglected to tell you . If not that, it may just need some fertilizer and TLC. It also may have been getting less water if your tenants weren’t watering enough or decided that they didn’t want to pay a big water bill. This is the most likely issue.
