Sapodilla (variety: Alano)

2023 May 8

I bought a Sapodilla from Green Life Nursery.

I planted it in the front yard. I didn’t amend the soil. I only dug a hole big enough for the root ball. Then applied 6 plus inches of mulch. Used 30% shade cover.

Applied 14lb of 90% agricultural sulfur covering a 10ft diameter circle around the plant.

The leaves started to get sun burned so I added more planks to the shade cover to increase the shade percentage.

Not sure this plant is going to make it.

This plant is completely crispy. I think it needed a lot more shade.
