Dear Abby Pappy........

Have a baby grapefruit siZe pollinated 7/3......BUt now...after the 3" of rain and some minor hail.....My DaletaZ has changed...... itZ drooppy now in minor sun....All other plants are fine...but it wants to flag easy....almost like its loosing itZ stump.

I pulled on my stump....I dont see no oooZing......stump iZ hard. LeaveZ look tired at 7 PM, but by morning time...itZ perked up again....

Took pics this AM when itZ leaveZ waZ happy....and be checking it at noon...and take another pic....I expect it to be droopy again.....WhatZ going on here? No yellow leaveZ, and itZ still growing good......

Do I need Viagara

Yes, we mash up the viagra here and foliar spray at one Tsp. per gallon. If you maintain perked up leaves for longer than 5 hours, call a botanist.

saw your photo wiz. it does not look great thats for sure. also read rons email advise to you. your in good hands with ron.
this hobby does suck a lot at times. all the problems seem to crop up AFTER most of the friggin work is done.
