Whitewashing tree trunks with lime is a traditional esthetic practice. Doesn't hurt. Helps?

Fruit Grower,
Trunk sunburn or freeze damage,
Weed whacker or wheelbarrow damage.
Cut whole tree off below the damage to re-grow from there,
or leave as is, and
keep tree very short, until wound heals over. It will become hollow there.

Eddie F,
One pound gypsum per two pounds 6-3-16. The other fertilizer is not likely appropriate for mangos.

I don't know anything about how far seepage will go. I imagine that that will vary per soil, etc.
High nitrogen will degrade the quality of most mangos, perhaps India-type especially.
Nam Doc Mai is tolerant of high-Nitrogen.

Girdling starves the roots.
Chipping just above buds that you want to grow, will probably work.

Probably a mineral imbalance, such as a Boron deficiency.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Breeding annonas with ‘Painter’ as pollen parent.
« on: June 26, 2022, 10:50:44 PM »
I prefer to pollinate female-stage flowers on a tree when that tree's male-stage flowers are shedding pollen, or within the next couple of hours, or at the latest, when the male-stage flowers are dropping petals, which is when it would be natural for freshly exposed beetles covered with pollen to go seek out a female-stage flower to shelter in.
If you pollinate apparently female-stage flowers later than that, there may not be any remaining receptivity, especially in dry weather.

One should list first the seed parent, which is also known as the mother tree: in other words, the tree with the flower into which you stuff pollen.
Then X.
Then pollen parent.
Cherilata varieties are: Annona cherimola variety X Annona reticulata variety. If it were the other way around, it would be a Retimoya.

Spray it several times with Copper products. Then the tree's bark will probably heal over that spot.

JakeFruit,
Spot spray with hydrogen peroxide till ooze dissolves, wip off with papertowel, spray again. While still freshly open, spray whole tree and wounds with any Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate product. If you only have Copper Octanoate or Ammoniated Copper, those will also work.

Jagmanjoe,
Wind damage followed by fungus infections: Anthracnose, and probably also Cylindrocladium.
3rd picture: mineral deficiencies--- Zinc, and probably Copper and Sulfur.

Castor Bean is a source of Ricin, a deadly poison.
Remember the crazy religious cult in Japan, and their attack in the subway system with ricin?
I would check and double check that castor oil is free of ricin, and that the oil is allowed on what you are thinking of using it on.

Sprays usually don't fix damage already done--- no resurrection of dead tissue.
