Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English1·3 days agoToo much fruit is never really too much! Plant your own, grow your own, harvest your own, and share…
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English2·3 days agoI don’t grow blueberries, but I’ve seen videos of high-bush cultivars in the UK, and they certainly looked prolific and easy to manage. From what I’ve heard/read, I imagine that they would do well in poor, acidic, sandy soil like in pine forests. Is that the kind of soil that you have?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English2·3 days agoYou are not the first to answer blackberries, and I just wonder, do blackberries not grow out of control in other places? Sure they’re easy to keep alive once established, but to actually keep them manageable, is there not a lot of pruning required?
(Asian pears are awesome, by the way. The fruit, anyway. Tried it once, and it puts the common pears to shame.)
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English1·3 days agoSpooky due to the blood-stained insides?
I used to have
mast year every year
Did your tree live fast and die young?
Though I hear Mullvad has its own Firefox fork now
Mullvad Browser? It’s basically Tor Browser without the Tor, meant to be used with a VPN instead. It has integration with Mullvad VPN by default, but that add-on can be removed, and the browser doesn’t need Mullvad VPN in order to function. Since the browser is based on Firefox, someone might want to fund Firefox development by using it with Mozilla VPN instead.

Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English4·10 days agoAmen brother hallelujah!
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English1·10 days agoContinuous harvest is the best! We can’t just stop eating when the plants stop fruiting, so having successive fruiting seasons in a year is really helpful. If durian fruited year-round… monoculture would be tempting.
Do you trellis the blackberries or just let them sprawl everywhere?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English1·10 days agoYes, that is a bush. What do you like about it?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite fruit tree to grow?English1·10 days agoHow big do those trees get?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·12 days ago
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·16 days agoYeah, give saskatoons a try! You’d be surprised what’s possible even in your climate.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·17 days agoIn order to flower well, longan usually needs a “winter” season with min temps <12°C and/or less rain. While fruiting, hot and wet is best. At sea level in the tropics, the low temps usually don’t occur, and even if the winter is dry enough for longan to flower (but not dry enough to kill it), the other half of the year usually doesn’t get as hot as subtropical summers, so the fruits might not develop properly. Either you have a strange tropical breed of longan, or you are very lucky to have the right conditions where you live.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·17 days agoI don’t want to ask for your exact location, but longan at sea level is… unusual. Don’t take it for granted. Cherish it.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·17 days ago…Well at least there’s no grass to chop.
Jim East@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which programs and apps do you avoid updating?English4·17 days agoThe developers sold out, and the new parent company wanted to add opt-out telemetry IIRC. They received a lot of backlash and apparently reduced the data collected, but they had proven that they could not be trusted, and multiple forks were made before the new version with telemetry even released. Tenacity is what came of at least two of those forks.
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·17 days agoI guess rambutans can’t be stopped from making too many babies! 😆
I’ve never grown calamondin, so I can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that you really did stunt it… How much of the tree did you cut off?
EDIT: What elevation are you growing both soursop and longan? Do you have a dry winter there?
Jim East@slrpnk.netOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What fruits are ripening where you live?English1·17 days agoI just live somewhere cold
That is unfortunate. Are the raspberries fruiting now? How long until saskatoons?
Sourcehut also seems promising. There can be both.
