    I have an old Fuerte, like 60 feet tall, taken down and resprouted like crazy. Love the flavor but it's not a good producer. Now I know what to do. I've been spraying my GEM with a low concentration of urea - about a teaspoon in a two quart sprayer bottle - on the new flush. The GEM loves it, with good vegetative growth (with prolonged flushing), good fruiting, and what looks to be good fruit retention. This is my "top down" approach to fertilization and I know the urea gets in due to experiments on the Fuerte, which showed leaf distortion and leaf toughening. Similar urea spraying on apples had bizarre and negative effects. I'm babying a Pinkerton and a Lamb in fabric pots over the summer for planting in the fall. Thanks for your service!

  • @randallblack5677
    @randallblack5677 3 месяца назад

    Hey Gray, I've been spraying flush with a teaspoon of urea in a two quart spray bottle. I spray all new growth every evening. I've been doing it on a Hass, a Fuerte that came back from being stumped, and a GEM. They all love it and are continuing flush. I did a stronger formulation on the Fuerte and got distorted, super thick leaves with yellow veins but they lived and the tree has flourished. But urea is toxic to most plants. Apple trees got weird. This year June 2024 getting good fruit hang on the GEM. Lots of extra flushing. My theory: Urea on the flush sends a message to the tree. "We've got nitrogen. Use N coming in from the roots elsewhere as needed. Fruits are getting sugar from local sugar production." No tree has died from spraying with diluted urea.

      When it gets cold like it has been parafilm seems to get hard and can actually restrict buds tryingvto push through. Just watch for this. The parafilm does preserve the scion, but if restrictive should be opened.
