I did bring back quite a few varieties.
I stopped by SQUAMS PLACE (Alex) on Friday  and bought a bunch of mostly Edwards ( truly, truly fantastic, creamy and sweet  no fiber- ist time trying these- was there for an hour talking and eating and buying)

I stopped by Truly Tropical with the wife on Sat and bought around 50lbs or more of mangoes 8-10 varieties or more.
Spoke to Har and Chris (The owner), very nice and accomodating people.

I tell you one thing the mango and tropical fruit craze is building from the crowds of people there that  i saw.
Despite that there was never a shortage of mangoes and varieties... and it's just the start of the season ???

I really recommend any members especially out of town to Visit Alex and Chris' place , very accomodating and pleasant people with great fruits to purchase! I am sure there are others and i discover more i will inform.

Next trip in a month.

Man we're those mangos good,I loved the the Fairchild,and the Graham,I wanna try the madam Francis,.hopefully I can go next time and just bring back bunch of mangos. Thanks mangomaniac12

Has anyone here fertilized with the potash 0-0-51? Have you gotten noticeable results?

I have a "Mallika" and a "Lancetilla" mango in 25 gallon pots, a 15 gallon "Alano" sapodilla ready for a 25, a 15 gallon red cattley guava, and a 15 gallon rollinia deliciosa.  I'm willing to trade down in size for comparable value.  Looking for persimmon, jujube, muscadines, mulberry, loquat, or citrus.
Can you,take a pics of the sapodilla

What should I use?

Sapodilla tree & fruit are great. I'm glad to hear someone likes it as much as I do.

I have the following sapodilla varieties (and a brief description of my experiences with them):
Prolific: Large, great tasting fruit. Not consistent in my experience.
Tikal (did I remember the name correctly?): Very productive. Average taste and quality fruit. Small to medium size.
Hasya: Produced about 6 fruits for the very first time last year, 2012. Medium size. Quality fruit & taste. I hope fruit will get larger as years pass.
That's great,I don't have a tree,but my friend does and gave me one and was amazed by the taste:) will have to get one

No i get it. I just thought that too much mango wasnt good. And i would not try to grow one here. It would problably kill my tree trying to fruit and deal with 115°

Welcome to the club

24
Would need to see the condition of the entire tree, but that leaf looks indicative of normal spring leaf drop, where older leaves yellow and drop.

I planted this tree about 3weeks ago and it seems to be doing good i would think but it has some leaves that are looking like this.any ideas?
