When my trees were young I used to fertilize my Citrus, mango and lychee trees no later than the end of Sept. in Central FL...so maybe end of Oct for you? I try to give them 3 months of rest before flowering  (around January) for me...

I stop applying nitrogen fertilizer in August or September.

I'll be foliar spraying all year though, and applying triple phosphate instead of 8-3-9

Most younger trees will keep growing throughout the warm winters we have had the past couple years.
There is no reason to let them go dormant because you wouldn't want young trees to bear anyway and with
the warm winter the trees are not shutting down completely. I am still wondering which trees you are
fertilizing anyway?

With the hurricanes this order might be upset and give us a cold winter, such as in 2010 when I had frost on my car's windshield that I was scraping off and it measured 27 degrees Fahrenheit outside at 7AM/  In the 33321 in Broward County.

So may God deliver us a nice chilling 2017-2018 winter to put mango trees into hibernation and for you too puggsy-wugggsy. As far as God goes I wrote prayers with a sharpie on each piece of plywood I put up for hurricane Irma. Seems to have worked. God helps those who help themselves.

But there's a several-degree difference between Orlando and here, so if it gets to freezing here it's well below freezing there!  Anyway, we'll see.  I've been in this house six years and have never had to use the heat.

Yes, thanks Serg for posting that, very helpful  :D

Zands, we certainly need all the help we can get, thank you!!

John, yes that's why I only want upper 30's to low 40's for lows so I don't get a killer freeze   ;)...and we certainly don't want South FL to get any freezes or we are all toast!!
