The Tropical Fruit Forum

Ok thanks!!!

Hi William, I bought the tree about 1 1/2 years ago and I would estimate the tree was probably 2 years old when I bought it. So figure 3 1/2 - 4 yrs. No flowers or fruits since I've had it - all the moving around and pugging hasn't helped - hopefully next year.

Thanks for the comments guys! I really do enjoy watching these babies grow. Yea I think they still have some room to grow in the current containers- hopefully I can get 1 more year in them.  As for the soil - I used an organic soil sold by my local nursery ( drains really well) and mixed in azomite.

Hi everyone, well it's been close to a year and wanted to give you guys an update on some of my trees. So about a year ago I dugout some of my trees (that I couldn't leave behind!)I had planted about 1 1/2 years before we moved unexpectedly . All my mangos were pugged when I bought them originally,  after seeing puglvr beautiful trees I wanted to give it a shot- I believe they will be much more manageable in the future. My alano sapodilla was pugged a year ago , I left it with no branches or leaves. None of my trees have fruited yet 😔, I'm sure it's because of all the moving around but anyways here are some pics. We are currently renting that's why I still have them in 25gal pots. We plan on renting for 1 more year before buying again. Not sure if to upsize to 45 gal or just keep them in there 1 more year. Thanks.

Hi ya'll, I visited a local nursery today- they had a bunch of beautiful grafted avocado trees - I would guess 2-3 years old.  I was considering buying one but the new owner of the nursery doesn't know the variety. Catalina maybe? Whatcha guys think? Thanks!

Yes it happened around October last year- I believe that's area where limbs broke off, I didn't put seal. I was concerned because it looks a little deep.  I guess I'll let nature do its thing. Thanks y'all!

Very very cool! I wonder if it still pumps out a lot of fruit??

Looks like I'm keeping LZ, Mahachanok, Peach Cobbler, Pickering, Venus ( to have a late one)- gonna wait for a few more opinions to decide on final selection. Thanks for the input guys!

Hi all, well back in November me and the wife decided that we were going to move- so we dug up some of our mangos that we had just planted 2 years ago as well as some newer ones. The trees are all in containers at my parents place. We are only going to have room for 5-6 mangos max at our new home  . Please help us decide which ones we should stay with! Thanks!

Bajajohn you nailed it! I just googled several pics or barklice and they look just like them.  I read briefly that they are harmless beneficial bugs! Thanks everyone!

Thanks Rob. They are bunched up - they have black and yellow spider looking bodies with antennas. Never seen these guys before. I can't seem to add close up image in my reply.
