Hi everyone,

Can anyone identify what's happening to my mango tree? It's now flushing and it's a nam doc mai. Hard to see, but there's black spots on the new growth.It's curretly indoor under my 315w ceramic metal halide.

thanks

Hey Guys, been a while, but back at it again. I have a tangelo tree that is about to flower here in Canada ans I was wondering if it needs to be cross-pollinated? Google gave me mixed answers. I also have a lime flowering right now, but it will stop really soon. Can the pollen from the lime pollinate my tangelo? Is there also a way to preserve pollen? I'm unsure if they'll be able to have flowers at the same time.

Thanks Everybody!

Hi everybody! I have a small question for you guys. Should I prune this new mango tree? It is a haden and it has already new shoots growing. I don't know if I should prune it because it looks great, but it's big. I took a picture of it next to my grow room for the winter to give an idea of the height of the room. I need to keep it small enough to fit in it? Any ideas? It's already over 6 feet tall if you're wondering.

Thanks!

The tree:

I love your trees!

If you wants some pictures of very bad winter temperature here's some
Before:

After:

We received 19 inches of snow under 24 hours. This was the biggest snowstorm we ever had! We never receiced that much snow in a snowstorm! Our last record of 1971 was 18 inches. It took 2 hours to clean this up Unfortunately there's still more to come...

Really good collection! I never thought that those would grow in Spain. I thought it was too cold.

Is it paradise???

I just discovered that my tree had root rot... I repotted it in the gritty mix. I hope it will survive.

Shit you serious? I feel very sorry for you...

Thanks everybody!

Mangofang, I hope I'll have some more , but next time I'll try to pickthem when mature.

Zands, I guess I have a more crazy mind than a science mind to grow mangoes in Canada

Bend, I like also to see some people on the forum who tries to grow tropicals in cold climates. It gives me hope and whenever I have a question, I can ask.

Hi everybody Today I tasted the last mango from my Carrie mango tree. Unfortunately, the condition of the tree isn't so good and I had to remove all the fruits before they came mature. They did ripe, but only the last one tasted great! I did taste some herb medecine in the other ones, but not in that one and it was very juicy I can now proudly say that I have mangoes in Canada!

Here's some pictures:

Wow! You have such a beautiful starfruit tree Nice greenhouse by the way. I hope the fruits will taste great!
