what kind of soil is it in and when was the last time you fertilized it?

Julie is great when they're not store bought

all the mangos in this playlist are pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRBgTZKW2NA&list=PL2lELLdkvPuiAVnzfmWUtIb3cB8B2GvEl

that's about the height I pug my trees to, you'll be fine

due to all this rain my sugar loaf is starting to grow long droopy branches

I usually go with some for a few

So which are you planning to get?  Sugar Loaf and why?  I'm having similar dilemmas picking out here in hawaii.  Thanks!

if I didn't get sugar loaf I would've gotten an m-4

sugar loaf seems to be spreading and fairly disease resistant like a honey kiss, plus it's a green mango which will deter thieves a bit

I forget which one the red is but

Jaboticaba trees are slow-growing, in M. tenella, shrubby, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 ft (1-1.35 m) high; in M. trunciflora, 13 to 23 or rarely 40 ft (4-7 or 12 m); in the other species usually reaching 35 to 40 ft (10.5-12 m). They are profusely branched, beginning close to the ground and slanting upward and outward so that the dense, rounded crown may attain an ultimate spread of 45 ft (13.7 m).

Having worked in PC research and development most of my adult life at IBM AND a RAID systems designer for HDD redundancy , I can say that HDD's can fail and lose data, some or all of it.  Also data recovery and computer repair are two completely different disciplines! Data recovery is Faaarrr more tedious, AND much more expensive.

"First thing computer repair people here do is make a complete backup of the hard drive, so nothing is lost"

And if the HDD has crashed? No recovery may be possible, Luc was lucky to get some files back.

Techs may be able to recover data but it ALWAYS 100% the responsibility of the owner to have backups, EVERY DAY!

Failing to do so and blaming a tech is completely unreasonable AND unfair.

The OP said: "I lost lots of files"

Note, not ALL, it's pretty clear the tech made a backup of what was left no?

A backup to a 128-256 gig memory stick that may cost a hundred bucks would have prevented it. Sorry for your loss but learn from it... Owner's fault, end of story.

as someone who's had the misfortune of working customer service I understand your frustration, but let's try to focus on the possibly new species instead of our PTSD

up to 60 feet

how long do you reckon it'll take one of them red boys to fill out a 75 gallon fabric pot

That should be Creme Brulee (and Sugarloaf if you want to get technical).  If grown closer to the coast, E4 (I am refusing to use Sugarloaf as its flavor base is not pineapple) will pick up some yellow coloration.

how'd this yellow one taste?

For pure coconut flavor people seem to think M4 is a better choice, E4 is coconut/pineapple so it's got some acidity to it
