Who killed the loquat?
I am in the process of establishing a mixed orchard near Stroud NSW. The
soil is clay silt and quite fertile on a gentle slope. Each tree has been planted in a dug over plot about 1.5 m wide with added compost and gypsum and mounded up to improve drainage. Each has been deep watered regularly when it didn't rain. The basic pH is about 5.5 amended to about 6.5 with lime for most except the acid-lovers. Nearly all (citrus, stone fruits, apple, quince, mulberry, feijoa etc) are doing really well. The loquat's leaves slowly turned brown and now it is dead. My understanding is that the loquat prefers acid conditions which is why it got no lime. What killed it? David |
