buddha hand fruit tree


Question
hi Kathy:
i am growing a small buddha hand fruit about 2 feet, it has been growing new leaves and i saw small baby fruit too. but the baby fruits drop after a while.  what's wrong with it?
thanks
min

Answer
HI Min, It could not be getting enough water, it could be too young to hold the fruit, as the tree will abort that which it can not hold, at two fee it sounds like a baby.  I would also pick off the fruit so the tree can grow, it will either feed the fruit or the tree and at that size you want the tree to grow to support the fruit.  You also do not mention if it is in a pot or planted?  In a pot it may not be getting enough water which will abort the fruit,  It could also have a fungus in the blooms, all of which I would worry more about making the tree grow first.  kathy
