I planted my Coconut Cream tree in the ground at the end of 2020, here is a picture of the tree I took last weekend. The tree is holding 15 fruit, I had the first ripe fruit a few days ago and it tasted very nice.
Here is a picture of my Honey Kiss mango tree that I planted last year, this picture was taken about 10 days ago and it is still holding fruit. Slow grower and very compact for me.
This is my Super Hass in a 3 gallon pot on March 25, 2019 which I purchased from Excalibur. The next picture is of the same tree which I planted in the ground last weekend.
I use Fafard 3B mix and I usually add a few worm castings, Azomite, and a handful of perlite to the mix. This tree was purchased as a 25 gal. and was stepped up the next year to a 45 gal., it has been in that pot for over 2 years. I would estimate that the tree is probably 4 to 5 years old.
The first picture was taken a week ago after pruning the Florida Super Hass tree. The two other pictures were taken on September 9th while holding some fruit.
I purchased these M-4 mangoes from Zill's last week. I also have an M-4 mango tree that I purchased last year that is now growing in a 7-gallon nursery pot. So far, I haven't had any issues with the tree and I definitely do enjoy the eating the fruit.
In the first picture are nine Mallika mangoes that I picked green with a slight shade of yellow, I then wrapped them in paper bags, placed them in a basket and set them on a shelve in a closet for 10 days. I probably should have checked them before the 10 days as a few were ready a few days before.
Can anyone give there opinion of what critter is eating my Maha Chanok mangoes on my tree? So far I’ve lost 3 fruit in the last four days, whatever it is they eat almost half of the fruit in one sitting. I’m thinking that it’s got to be larger than rats or squirrels since in the past they would eat a little section of the fruit at a time not over half of the fruit. Last year I used mesh bags with pretty good results. Any advise would be appreciated.
