Quote from: Orkine on September 22, 2018, 06:24:05 PMI dont know what I need to do to fix this.These are grafts on a recently top-worked tree.The grafts took but the growth is anemic at best. The leaves are tiny and even when there has been a second flush it sits right on the first making it look more like a rose than a mango (see fourth and fifth picture).Should I feed this plant Nitrogen, it needs to grow.I have or can get fertilizer with minors if that is what this baby needs. This is my most recent graft on the same stump and the first flush here look more normal. The blue dots are from a recent spray of copper. In case it is relevant, I don't irrigate or fertilize my lawn - which comes right up next to the tree. I use a mulching mower to the grass clipping return to the soil.It has been 3 months since this post and the plant nooks no different.I want this plant to come back and want to put it on some regime for next season.I will take very specific suggestions.So far, I plan on fertilizing, including with nitrogen, once the cold passes.I will test the soil to confirm that calcium is needed.I will keep the plant warm through the winter.Anything else?

I am ready to try something drastic or cut the tree down to reclaim the spot.I will take any suggestions even if failure kills the tree. My only lemon zest was grafted onto the tree but I have one of everything else so its not a terrible loss. I had just hoped to take advantage of what was once an extensive root system from a full grown tree. I assume that by now most of the root system has likely died back.
Thanks a lot guys for your replies. I know it's not fungus because it happened overnight after spraying the trees at night time. I guess I can only use Coco wet for palm trees and start using NIS.
And if it is in sand, without a lot of visible limestone or shell-rock, and not being watered with limey canal or well water, then add gypsum.
The tender growth at the bottom of the picture appears to be infected with powdery mildew. At the top of the picture, the topmost left leaf with midrib silhouetted against the white wall, appears to have a row of ... aphids maybe? the tiny white spots on the other leaves kind-of look like galls from insect bites, maybe.I don't see anything to urgently address.
My yard guy said it was white fly

Hello again,Today I was cutting a rotting branch off a Cogshall Mango and and found this worm (borer?) inside the branch. Any idea what it is and the best method to eliminate it?
Hello all.. I have a malika mango tree that is 5 year old,this is the 3 year fruiting grafted tree from PIN.,the fruits have grown big and tast great, I give them a 8 of 10 but my wife gives them a 10 of 10.Anyways The fruit ones ripen, they have a deformation inside that sometimes half of the mango is gone, can this be a genetic problem? Or is there something I'm doing wrong when fertilizing?
Gychang, Yes, the leaf spots, and a few small darker spots on the twig, do look like anthracnose. The shadowy smudges on the twigs are probably harmless surface growths, probably some sort of mold.
