My mango trees been flowering and forming little mangoes in Southern Cal Zone 9B which I wish they didn't since I planted them in September from 7-15 gallon pots. The branches are too skinny to support any fruit.

Nice!! Another of the benefits of having 270 different varieties... . Alex, when do you think you will have scions available again? I'm assuming some of your newer varieties will not flower this year. Will you be selling scions of those earlier than after harvest? I was interested in Orange Essence, M-4, and honey kiss. Possibly some others. Thanks!E.

Wouldn’t surprise me if we did as we do not get Winters in south Florida anymore.All those ought to be available.Thanks a lot, Alex! I'll check back with you then or email you on the website Now, have to figure out how to try to protect the blooms on the mangoes. It's supposed to get down to 39 degrees tonight and 41 tomorrow night. I will string old style C7 and C9 lights on the tree to help keep it warm. We will see... I was also thinking about spraying with copper for protection of the flowers from anthracnose on the Rosigold. Good idea or not? What do you guys think?

Flowers on the Rosigolds, Edwards, Rosas, dwarf Hawaiians and a Graham as well.
Guava mango in bloom with Phoenix not far behind
About 7x6 and going into 4th season Had two fruit last year and made my top ten
I have one planted in my yard. It is an awesome mango. Is in my top 5.
Also, PlantOGram describes the tree as a semi-dwarf, is that statement accurate? or again, are they referring to a different mango variety?
I don’t know if what they’re selling is Walter Zill’s ‘Guava’, but if it is then I would say “No”.
