First I want to thank you all for your answers which opened my eyes to things that I haven’t thought of before. I have almost 200 mango trees inground for 18 months or less. All were bought as healthy as can be from Zill High Performance.
I have 15 Candy Cottons and I would say that this variety has been the most slow getting started of all the varieties I have from Zill. Out of 15, 5 haven’t popped with new growth until recently. The other Candy Cottons are acting perfectly normal. The two I was asking for advice on went into spots where I previously had citrus trees I had to remove because of Greening. So the soil in those areas may contain matter that is screwing with the new mango trees. For example there may be excessive perlite which would affect the water balance. There might still be some of my 12 month sustained release citrus fertilizer. And I may have too much salt down below from all the old fertilizers as well as my over fertigation trying to get the trees healthy. And when combined with our 3 month drought and all the hose watering I had to do and that contains chlorine, I may have made those young trees Ill myself. Again, I thought of these things cause of your comments. So I’m going to wait and see if all this rain we’re getting washed out all the problems I’m speculating I caused and I’ll see how it goes. In the last few days the light green seems to be darkening a bit. Hopefully the rain will make it continue. And I’m glad you told me that Cotton Candy is a top tier because now I must wait because that makes it worth waiting for.
