Another mamey sapote to the ground. Grafting on the field soon. If you haven't tasted the fruit, find one properly harvested an ripe. Enjoy!

#farmstr #homestead #agroforestry #foodstr

We already have an adult #macadamia tree at the farm germinated from seeds with origin in Costa Rica.

Germinating new seeds from it has been a difficult task for now, since it takes a lot of time for the seeds to sprout thru the hard husk.

We keep trying though. We also plan to air layer a few branches so to clone it.

That initial tree is a hybrid which bears a decent amount of nuts.

To add an additional genetic variety we ordered a "Beaumont" cultivar online which should start bearing fruits/nuts in a couple of years since it is a grafted tree. Also, it has a characteristic abundant reddish blossoms that look very pretty and bees love them.

We received that tree this week from Florida, USA. Its appearance show that it wasn't very comfortable or properly fertilized at the origin nursery.

You can notice chlorotic leaves which may indicate lack of nitrogen.

Regardless, we planted it today and will update on its status for you to witness its recovery.

We dug a decent hole , applied our duck deep bed compost, azomite and some soil from the shallow roots of the first tree. This, with the intention of promoting inoculation with the appropriate arbuscular mycorrhiza spores.

Stay tuned!

These are the 3 of 4 operating suscovich tractors holding our laying ducks. (one tractor-full of ducks were killed by feral dogs recently) Their main purpose is to enrich/fertilize the soil with nutrients from the duck water and their poop. Duck eggs are a tasty and nutritious “by-product”.
