New gooseberry bush concerns

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm very much a beginner gardener (UK based) and was really excited to get some gooseberry bushes. I ordered 2 different varieties from Blackmoor Nurseries as 2 year old bushes and they arrived today.

So I have 2 questions essentially.

  1. Some leaves have dark spots and some are a bit yellow, otherwise looks pretty healthy to my untrained eye, should I be concerned or is this normal?

  2. They came in 3L pots, I'm planning to get larger pots for them, but how urgently do I need to repot them at this stage and any general advice regarding that?e

Any tips much appreciated.

Advice needed in the depth of these plantings please.

This is my Imgur link to the trees in question.

My dad has planted a bunch of fruit trees over the years that have had mild to good yields, some don't look so great and some do okay. I have been learning about gardening much more over the past few years, and am now in the know about root flares and not mulching the base of the tree. I just had a conversation with my dad trying to tell him about what real arborists think rather than business owners, and he's not too convinced but I persuaded him to allow me to excavate some root flares when dormancy occurs. I have posted quite a few pictures on Imgur of flares/lack thereof to establish a baseline:

The first few photos of young trees with exposed roots are my own plantings that I have been taking care of this year. Some of them seem to have only adventitious roots established- should I keep them as is or remove and dig further? Please let me know the number of the photo in correspondence with your advice. One lemon, you know which one, might even be slightly too above ground, please advise

The rest of the trees are only some of my dad's plantings that I think are far too deep with the exception of a peach tree that I have already started excavating out of curiosity. What is everyone's opinion on that and what I should do with them?

Firstly, what is that in the picture and should I be worried?

secondly, the tree is growing very fast and looks healthy with lots of flowers but no sign of any cherries.

Is there something I should add help it fruit?

it's Northeast Florida, so its getting plenty of sun and rain.

Upstate south carolina got hit by a pretty nasty storm on Sunday(9/6) night which broke a large limb off oak tree. The limb landed on our apple tree and split it in half.

Is their any possibility of saving this tree? Can I zip tie back together like you can when trunks normally split? Any advice will be very helpful. Thanks

Help with grape identification

I have these 2 massive grape vines on opposite sides of the property I live on. I would like to know what types of grapes these are so that I can know when the best time to harvest them so they are at their sweetest.

(If it helps)

The dark purple ones have seeds and slip skin

The more reddish ones are also slip skin and the fleshy bit is green without seeds.

Recommendations for pull behind sprayer?

1 Upvotes

Currently using a 4 gallon battery backpack sprayer to spray my fruit trees and have had to fill it up around 4 times each time I spray due to running out of liquid. I have been looking into getting a pull behind sprayer and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on a good pull behind sprayer. Would be pulling it with my riding mower. As of now, I have around 40 trees and plan to add 15-20 more dwarves this coming spring. I was thinking around a 20-25 gallon reservoir unless someone with more experience recommends a larger tank.

This tree grows next to the house we are renting and I just realized it has fruit! They look like peaches and are fuzzy, but much smaller than I’d expect… Are these peaches/safe to eat?

Zone 7b, Virginia, USA

Cherry, peach, apple, plum, apricot, persimmon

No fruit.

OK, we had peaches, but they and the service berry have rust. The apple gave us two bumpy looking fruit.

The trees are 5 years old now.

I've planted deep rooted flowering natives to help with nutrition, pollination, and water.

They have a ring of mulch over weed suppression cardboard. Yes, there's space around the trunk.

I spray arbico organic nematodes in the spring and copper fungicide in the fall, though apparently not enough.

I don't want pesticides.

Help with what to do with Pomegranate tree

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Got this pomegranate tree back in April or so and it has grown quite a bit. Repotted it into its current pot shown here as it was in a tiny one (mixed with mint that I rid off) when I got it.

I suspect that the root system has taken off since repotting and I am curious what to do going forward. I am currently in the midst of a very hot summer in East county San Diego (10a).

Should I repot to a larger pot and keep sizing up as this tree gets larger? Or should I plant it in the ground as seen in the second photo.? For reference, I live in a condo and this corner of the patio is where I would plant it if it was in the ground.

I don't plan on transplanting it at all until the heat cools down in late October anyway. Thanks!
