You can graft a male on to your tree if having another tree is an issue.

On mine the seeds are more rounded and not objectionable to me. After you eat a few you can figure out how to separate them in your mouth while gently chewing on them.

The shape of the fruit looks similar to immature Li. Is it getting enough sunlight?
The nice grass indicates the area is fertile but may throw some fertilizer just to check it out.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: What triggers flowering in tropical guava?
« on: February 02, 2023, 07:43:47 AM »
Similar to you I have my guavas in an unheated garage for 5 months out of the year. The rest of the time they enjoy the Texas heat outside. Under these conditions what I have noticed is that some varieties do better than others. I have a crunchy white guava that has been producing yearly for over 15 years. Others have come stayed for a while till I realized the effort was not worth it.
Once they flower it takes about 5 months to get ripe fruit, so it is critical that they flower by June or so. Fruit ripened without sun are bland.

Yours is still young so I would give it a couple more years. Pruning a month or so ahead of taking them outside works for me. I have heard branch bending helps as well. That is a beautiful plant you have there.

I believe I have a Norris and another unknown Che variety. The Norris has fruited but has seeds. I do have a male also but have never seen any flowers on it.
Regarding dealing with the seeds ..... after eating a few I figured out how to separate them in my mouth while extracting the pulp and then discarding the seed.

I am no expert and have grown only 1 mango which happens to be a Pickering. Due to my climate I grow it in a container.
2 yrs. ago I harvested 5 ripe fruit from a 7gal container grown Pickering. Couple of the fruit were close to a pound and a half.
The girth may have been around an inch and a half at that time. Unfortunately it did not hold fruit in the last couple of years.

Here are pics of my Isan Indigo seedling. Now about 5yrs old in a 5 gal container. Added a close-up so you might see where I pruned before. I will be pruning more than a foot each of the bigger branches in early March so that it will create new growth and flowers around the time I take them out in early April.

Sugar Apple - I get about 5 decent sized fruits from a 5 gal container. Plants are about 5yrs old. That said I am planning on up-potting to a 7 gal. 5 fruits to sample for a year is good enough for me. I have to haul these into the garage for 5 months out of the year.

I would encourage you to put in the ground only a plant that is grafted on to Osage Orange.

When grown in ground then can sucker and these plants have wicked thorns!

I am battling with a cutting I planted in ground.  :'(

Sugar Apple does well in containers. I have a green and a red sugar apple each in 5 gal containers. They are about 5yrs old and give me about 5 fruits each a year.
They also reliably fruit each year. Hand pollination helps setting fruit. The time to ripe duration from flower to fruit is also shorter than Atemoya for me. Sometimes my Gefner Atemoya did not ripen till early December.

All my tropicals spend 5 months of the year in a unheated but attached garage.

Atemoya would be another one to try. They are larger and more vigorous so would require a larger container.

I was able to root them fairly easily but the problem with that is they sucker and the suckers can be super thorny.  I made that mistake and have to remove the one I planted.
I have heard of them making thorny thickets that require a bulldozer to remove.

Tried grafting onto Mulberry but was not successful.

Grafting onto Osage Orange is the way to go.

I have noticed that in other fruits such as figs and jujubes the longer it takes to ripen(usually cooler weather and later in the season) the more flavorful the fruits are. Perhaps they have more time to accumulate sugars and other solids. I have noticed also that my regular guavas that sometimes ripen late and in the garage during winter storage have very little sugar or flavor(cold and shade, I do have some shop lights on them)

Mine is in a container and I have it in full sun. The fruit when yellow are sweet without any hint of tartness. I prefer them a little before they get fully yellow when there is a good balance of sweet and tart. Being in north Texas it gets a lot of heat and tolerates it very well.

I have a red jabo that is in a 10 gal container. It is fruiting heavily now but I have about 45 days before I have to bring it into the Garage for winter.
In order to get some fruit to ripen I am contemplating removing some of the fruit.

So, my question is if I remove some of the clusters will it damage the sites where it may fruit in the future?

>> Do you have your mango in a window or under artificial light while it is in the garage?

Yes, I do have a cheap LED shop light over it in the garage(The kind they have at Costco. Probably cost me $10-15)

Another thing I wanted to mention is to try a root pruning pot. I originally bought my tree in a 3 gal container. I up-potted it into a 5gal Rootmaker Injection Molded container. It put on a lot of growth in this container! Tripled in size in one season. Now I am looking for a 10gal root pruning container but have not found one I like. The largest Rootmaker makes is 5gal. They supposedly make a 15gal but have not seen it anywhere for sale.

Pickering is a great tasting mango so give it another try.

I'm in 8A and my Pickering stays in an unheated but attached garage from late October through April. This year it bloomed and set fruit while still in the garage.

It is currently in a 7 gal container with a relatively fast draining mix.  I think it helps keeping it in a smaller container so there is not much excess water, but you have to monitor and water more regularly. I was watering it twice a day during the hottest part of the summer. In the garage I water it maybe once a week.
