No not too late.
Last night in Golden Gate Estates we got down to 34.7 with a total of six and a half hours below 40 degrees. Very likely the small fruit on my trees will drop. Is it too late to hope for rebloom?
My over 10 foot tall x 10 ft wide Philippean mango tree is still dormant and I'm hoping for a late bloom & crop from it. Last summer it had a large late crop going July- August and the mangos were much better than the year before when the crop came months earlier. Then again, it might skip a year after the heavy harvest last year; and that would also be ok.
All of my other trees have bloomed to an extent that produced last year, except for my Sweettart tree that I bought grafted and produced about 6 fruit last year and it is only about 8 foot tall. It is presently simi dormant also with no vegatative or bloom growth for this year.
Many of my small LZ's and the sweettart mentioned above etc. I had removed most of the leaves before last years hurricaine and that may have suppressed the early bloom or vegatative growth... just a guess as the trees are still thin with smaller leaves than before the hurricaine and appear mainly dormant with minimum to no early spring growth.....
My largest tree with 4 varieties grafted has previously been loaded with fruit like 4 years in a row. But as of today, the main graft Haden is the only one that has bloomed and set fruit. It looks like my Edward and Sweettart graft are going to produce vegatative at least so far. The big surprise is the largest graft is a Keitt and it is so far only vegatative with no blooms and it has always fruited heavy in prior years(many other Keitt trees in yard have small fruit sets).
My Okrung mango tree produced almost no fruit last year vs. the year before and it was an earlier crop than the previous year. The quality of last years early crop okrung was poor vs. the year before. I have a loaded crop of small bb's and am hoping for a later sweet crop as I have found my later crops usually being sweeter on most of my mangos.
Florigon also produced no fruit last year vs. year before. This year the small 8 foot tree is loaded.
My other trees Keitt/Carrie/Glen/ etc. etc. etc. are all blooming with small fruit sets.
Tebow/Young grafts produced zero fruit last year vs. year before. This year heavy load on two trees I grafted.

I saw your info for location saying United States so I googled (before reading markinNAPLES) for Golden Gate Estates and picked up an interesting old rant about the subdivision.
https://simplify3.wordpress.com/2007/02/21/golden-gate-estates-nefarious-history/Most of the lots were sold by 1965, but unsuspecting buyers still get suckered into paying over $15,000 for a lot worth about $3,000.
It's funny reading it today and saying, Now Who Got Suckered? With land values priced today vs. 1965...
