Hello, I live in Davie FL, none of my mangoes have flowered yet. Pickering, peach cobbler, m4, orange sherbet or Maha Chanok. Anyone else in the area still waiting? Hoping this cold front gets the job done.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Sugar Belle Mandarin
« on: March 29, 2020, 08:16:36 PM »
Just added this beauty to my small but growing collection. I know citrus isn’t the smartest tree to plant in south Florida because of their disease issues - but apparently this variety is more tolerant . Anyone have any success with sugar belles in Florida? Chime in please. Thanks

Tropical Fruit Discussion / New home for trees!
« on: October 09, 2019, 08:58:35 PM »
I recently moved to Davie in August ,  all these trees have been with me in containers between 1-4 years. My goal throughout the years was to train them to be low branching and compact . I put trees in ground in early September they look happy and seem to be adapting well , I’m blessed to finally have a place to call my own! Love this forum!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Lemon Zest and Powdery Mildew
« on: September 20, 2018, 12:02:48 AM »
Hi all, I have an opportunity to get a really nice healthy looking lemon zest mango tree  , it’s about 8 ft tall and 6 ft wide, i have tasted lemon zest before at Benders about 2 years ago and thought it was a great mango. I’ve been reading and hearing that it has issues with powdery mildew. If I where to get it, will I put my other trees at risk of getting powdery mildew as well? Is it worth the maintenance and spraying regimen? Or should I just pass on it? Thoughts please!

« on: May 17, 2018, 03:55:58 PM »
Hi , my container Pickering is fruiting for the first time, it held 2 fruit on the same small branch- I’m worried the branch might snap. Should I prop them up with something or just let it be? Thanks!

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Jabo and dragon fruit
« on: May 11, 2018, 07:16:10 PM »
hello, I have a 5 year old jabo in a container, I’m not sure what variety it is. Can you guys tell by the leaves or bark? It hasn’t fruited yet 😒. Also I had a couple questions regarding dragon fruit - a friend gave me a few large pieces from his place , I did the best I could standing and tying them up. They had flowers last year but no fruit before I transplanted to my house. My questions are - when should I expect to flower again and will the flower on new growth only? Thanks and have a great weekend !

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Bangkok Thailand Fruits and Buggies
« on: May 08, 2018, 07:07:32 PM »
Hi everyone! just want to share some photos my dad recently sent me from a local market in Bangkok, he is visiting a friend.  Maybe one day I’ll make the trip with my wife when our kids get a little older. Does anyone know if he is allowed to ship me any seeds?

I’ve had my Alano Sapodilla for a little over  3 years, I had it in ground for 1 1/2 year then dug it out , pugged, and put in a container when I moved. It’s never flowered or beared fruit for the obvious reasons, but could this finally be?! I love this little tree so much, is it showing me some love?? I hope so!! We’ve been through a lot together! LoL
