Here are some tasks to improve the garden this week.
1. Cherimoyas, mangoes, and papayas are the only commonly available fruit whose seeds grow into trees with fruit that is, as we say, true to type.
After removing the aril around the seed, allow it to dry out, and then immediately plant it barely beneath the soil surface. You can also order papaya seeds from online vendors Native to the tropics of Mexico and Central America, a papaya tree may be male, female, or bisexual. However, commercial papaya orchards are invariably planted to bisexual trees and it is their fruit that you see in the market.
2. If you want your fig tree to produce heavy crops year after year, cut back almost all of last year’s new growth if you have not done so already. 4. I planted a single African corn flag plant a few years ago and it is now flowering throughout my garden.

This 'hungry gap' results in low colony survival and low production of queens for the following year.

Researchers identify role of subgenomes in bamboo evolutionAs a major driving force of evolution, polyploidy (genome duplication) is ubiquitous across different evolutionary stages of the flowering plant tree of life. However, the interactions between the ancestral genomes in a polyploid nucleus, often involving subgenome dominance, have been poorly understood.
