Depressing, Orange Sherbert Mango Broke
FrankDrebinOfFruits:
Went outside yesterday, found 2 yr old orange sherbet laying on its side. Cracked at and below the graft.
Tree was doing very healthy. Its planted in a very nitrogen rich zone. Looks like the canopy grew too fast for the trunk. I found the sprinkler was clogged with ants, so it might have gotten thirsty over the last week. I don't recall reading anything about this cultivar being susceptible to breakage (unlike coconut cream).
I tried to recover by doing a couple of bark grafts on the stump. I have low expectations. Found a couple wild mangos to graft onto too.
I do not know of anyone else that has this one on the island or the state... pretty depressing. Especially considering they are $100 just for s/h. :-[

Well luckily for you it wasn't an orange sherbet then.
