Thanks for the advice, Rob. It will be especially hard to remove that low branch, as it presently contains the world's largest mango tree leaf.
But I know I can be strong; indeed just the other day I ordered an iced coffee
without a doughnut.
Yes, Mike, it is a Maha, a cultivar that has given me nothing but trouble.
I have already killed two, and given one away in a fit of despair.
I went with a large tree this time because, it turns out, I'm not getting any younger.
I was a bit indignant to see that all of the Mahas at the nursery were healthy and gorgeous. It appears that Maha is my personal Achilles heel, along with 99% of the grafted jackfruits I have planted.
