carrie is having a banner year. i adore the carrie mango.I was at Jeff's last week and enjoyed a carrie with him.... all i can say is OMG was that a good mango!..... Thanks Jeff
Yah, risk of burn would be from something with high levels of ammonia (eg, fresh manure). I throw steaming hot mulch on my entire yard 8 - 12 inches deep (roughly 150 cubic yards worth) on a biennial basis with no observable detriment (other than major human fatigue from spreading that much mulch).I also have mulching mower but could also bag the clippings and spread them around the trees and mulch the rest...thought what the hell it's free and if it would work then why not try it! thanks for all the info guys!
The guys in our HOA mowing squad use mulching mowers, which I think is rad.
Adam will be doing a inverted root graft on cansital rootstock with fairchild#2 budwood.Could someone please tell what fairchild #2 is
Here are some mangos i just picked:My Fairchild is always green with a slight pale yellow crown
Some of these i've never eaten before, like Fukuda, Harumanis, and Smith. Of the new ones only got to try the Fukuda so far. It was still a bit on the hard side when i cut it but still tasted quite nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. Has a little bit of fiber, but not objectionable. Will review the others later as i slice them.
Question about the Fairchild...is it really a Fairchild? As you can see it has a slight pinkish tinge. Is that possible?
I have one in the ground. The leaves are fairly susceptible to anthracnose, but the small fruits didn't seem to have any issue. I was told that the fruit is completely blemish free, which is rare for a late season fruit.Jeff, What other mango trees do you have for sale?
I have a few nice sized 7 gal Harvest Moons that I've been selling for $40 a pop. Let me know if you decide to buy one.
For most tropicals specially in Florida, Nitrogen is the key. For those who have a small orchard the best way is to apply nitrogen in the form of urea 46-0-0 at $18-$20 for 50 lbs is a great price to Nitrogen ratio. Buy low biuret spray grade Urea. Mix with water and apply it in drench or with the irrigation system. The same with potassium nitrate 10-0-46 spray grade can be mixed with water and applied to the ground. Minos can be applied foliar or in the mix. Most in Florida don't need phosphorus, depending of your solid. Don't rule out these very economical ways of applying fertilizerCarlos, Where do you pick that up at? would love the 10-0-46
