Can I plant native trees on nature strip?

* I had to look up "Nature strip" to confirm my idea of what it is. Yes, it's the strip of grass running between the street curb and the sidewalk fronting your house.
* In Hawaii (Honolulu, Oahu) This is owned by the state or city and county of Honolulu. I believe it's the same in most big cities. (I've been to AZ. It's the same there).
* If so then you will need to check with the city on what can be removed or planted.
* Note that some trees (if any) will damage the side walk, curb, and street if left to grow large. Even removal of an old tree may damage the road as roots rot.
* You may need to check with the local Home Owner's Association for additional restrictions.
* Most people just grow grass or cover it with colored gravel.

Hello, Dennis -

It depends upon where you live and if your avocado tree is planted outdoors or is in a pot indoors.

I have a Bernecker avocado tree now for 4 years and is 12 feet high.Until now it have no flowers and no fruits. What must I do to get fruits?

It can take anywhere from five to 13 years for an avocado plant to bear fruit, and some never do. But in the meantime, you'll have a beautiful tree to enjoy.

Can I use diluted Roundup in evergreen carpet?

Hiya while I am not sure of what you mean exactly as an evergreen carpet I do know that if you want a plant or tree to survive don't use round up near it. Roundup is an extremely strong effective herbicide which will kill any living plant (more precisely the leaves) it touches. It also takes very little to kill a plant or tree.

Having said all that. I have had an issue with Lilly of the valley taking over as our property was vacant for 20 years the plants went unchecked all that time. I have tried just about everything else nothing even slowed them down. Of course they are a shade plant and growing under all of my trees that lined the property and are well over 100 years old.

I got a large pop bottle and punctured 2 holes in the lid and added the Roundup mix into the bottle.
I collected several sheets of plastic and newspaper. It is my understanding as long as the chemical doesn't touch the other plants or roots they should be ok.
What you want to do is to apply the round up to the leaves ( no need to soak everything down) Just a few good drops to the leaves of the target plants should do the trick.
Use the plastic or paper to protect the other plants you want to keep. Wait a week to ten days and you should see them begin to die. Protect all plants from accidental contact. since accidents occur what I did was immediately break or cut the infected leaf then flush the plant really well with water. This worked like a charm for me.

I can honestly say I am finally winning the battle. This year I only had about 2% of the offending plants appear. I am hoping none show up next year but if one or two do survive they wont the next year.

I hope this helps if you have any further questions please feel free to ask. Happy gardening

Thanks Brett. I won’t be planting them for another two weeks. I have set up retriculation and getting everything ready for them. I will spray the couch in the next day or so once the ground is wet. It is summer here and the couch will grow with the water on it

One more thing Brett. The instructions say 1.65L/h do you know what that would be for a 15 litre knapsack...

SOURCE: growing indoor avocado tree from seed

Make sure it doesn't stand in water, don't give it too much. Moist is OK, but it needs to all drain out. Also, don't let soil cover the top of the seed area. Mulch on top is OK, but not right over the base.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your answer. I will repot this into a pot that has better drainage and I will clear the covering from around the "trunk " where it goes into the dirt.I am confident that you have solved this problem for me because I had over watering problems in the past. I don't know why I did not match these two incidents together and solve the problem before it became this critical. I will let you know my results - in about two weeks - if I can ever find this site again. I am not too good with computers. When I was a child I drank too much water. I appreciate your answer. - Lester"
