Thanks for all the replies everyone...I really appreciate it!
Dan, Got home kind of late and didn't see this post till this morning
...what a nice offer...appreciate it! But, I found one! Would have jumped on your kind offer if I didn't!
I found one at Crowley's...thanks jb_fl. Made a list of nurseries (phone #'s) in the area and started calling around in the car, Called Crowley's and sure enough they had some so that's where I ended up getting it. She a couple of 3 gallons but only had (2) 7 gallon and one was half dead, this was def. the better one. Slim pickings but I'm happy with it. The tree has a few cold damage leaves from the last cold snap they had...but overall looks pretty healthy..some TLC and hopefully it will be fine...
I picked up this 7 gallon...
Thanks again for all your helpFew fruits and blooms on the tree too...
If the blooms or fruits don't make it I will repot it to a different pot...I'll wait and see, I might want to keep a couple on the tree since the tree is a little bigger than a 3 gallon.
JSvand if you read this post or anyone else...you've bare rooted a few mango trees before right, when you repot in Al's gritty mix? Its been over 5 years since I've bare rooted a mango tree...did you remove "all" the old nursery soil...any other tips you have lmk? I know to leave it in the shade for a week or so...I think this is one thing I did not do when I did mine over 5 years ago and I lost a Ton of leaves. I'm a little apprehensive bare rooting this mango because I'm afraid of killing it. I've bare rooted a bunch of plants before I use the gritty mix but this Pickering is one I don't want to lose. Thanks!
