Yes. All citrus & citrus relatives. Some lime seems to be more immune than most but they're all susceptible. Includes yuzu, calimodin, buddha's hand, all grapefruits, citron, etc... HLB is awful and after a tree is infected, it contaminates the soil for years, so even if the infected tree is...

I didn't ask, I only asked about the MOA bonnets.

I got in touch with Judy, she says that MOA bonnets will not be restocked for the 2016 growing season, but will be for the 2017 growing season.

Thanks for the info! I figured the bird netting injured birds--I use chicken wire cages. No injured birds so far, 100% success with plant protection. The birds Geonerd & I deal with are highly protected so it's helpful to know that the bird netting is injuring the birds.

I got in touch with Judy, she says MOA bonnets will not be restocked for 2016, so unfortunately you cannot order those... Don't know about the address thing, could be your browser?

Built a bird-resistant structure for your plants. I did mine with chicken wire I could lift easily. Another AZ grower builds a large tent by putting pvc pipes 7' tall in buckets of concrete and then drapes bird netting between them to cover their huge hab plants. Birds ate 4 of my plants to...

I keep real abreast of the citrus GMO research and I'm really hopeful for it. It's for spinach genes in the rootstock cultivars, should be a good solution, at least for the time being. For most trees, they'll have to be replanted but it is better than no citrus. I'll plant one as soon as...

Niiiiiice! Can't wait to see how that goes

I've got some different Thais--they're more of a Birdseye Thai, about 1.5" long when ripe (longer when green, weirdly) and sweet-hot. Is that what you're looking for? They're pretty productive reds, small plant. I'd be interested in MOA yellows.

Sweet! About how long would you say that it took the pod to start to turn?

Good to know about the yellow fataliis. I got some seeds but chickened out on planting them thinking I'd cook them in my climate. I guess I had better be brave & try soon. I grow in 60-70% shade but I'm in Phoenix metro. My problem is never whether my plants are getting enough sun... OP's...

Hopefully everything is ok. She's the best source of rare annuums that were bred for my type of climate and I am looking forward to seeing what she's got this year. I've been checking every day too, hoping to see at least a few things back in stock.

MOA bonnet, if I can get it to grow. A good buddy asked me to grow him a bunch for sauce making and now I'm curious to try the pods. All of my chinense varieties this year suffered severe heat damage and I got basically no production from them so I'm worried it just isn't possible for me...

This is probably the lowest tech advice, but have you tried just squishing them? If you don't have many infected plants, it doesn't take that long and does actually work. In areas where you can't get them out of the tiny crevices, just prune the area off and toss it. Squishing has 100% kill...

Really?! You must be NAU. Native Seeds/SEARCH does amazing work preserving southwestern crops, especially chiles and beans. The big service they provide is acting as a back up seed source for all of the tribes so if crops fail the varieties aren't lost. They've had some years where Native...

Every time I look at this thread, I think--maybe I need more tomatoes....? Bad influence! I did rescue some weird volunteer I found in my lawn. It turned purple from the cooler temps so I'm curious to see what it is. Up to 9 plants.

It's that time of year--Native Seeds put out their catalogue. These are the seed bank people that partner with the wild chile preserve in Arizona. They have extensive holdings. If you're looking for a rare variety with southwest roots that you don't see available, go to their website &...

Sooooooo....November is over. Any news?

Yeah, that's about right.

Speaking from experience, that won't be the last time you kill your plants. We all do it with regularity. It is part of the process. Take good notes on what happened and start again!
