A video walk-through of about 90% of my mango grove. Many varieties, 50 trees in all some I haven't identified. The trees were planted 5 years ago. I bought the place 3 years ago but wasn't able to be there and attend to them, they are in need of pruning. Good bloom this year even with no maintenance so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Urfo160to
Curious to know the tree x row spacing? Looks nice
The cold snap of yesterday and today/hopefully tomorrow should stimulate more swelling buds to put out mango panicles. Or is March 15th too late?
Wow - at about a minute 40 seconds in there's a tree that's full of fruit already. Do you know the variety on that one?
wow, thats awsome.I love the sound of "crunch crunch" of the leaves.good natural mulch.I think i would grow a couple of acacia on the north sideor plant some eleaegnus in between the rows as a nitrogen fixerand comfrey for mulch and minerals.

Or is March 15th too late?Not too late to push out flowers but I have also seen on very late blooms, if temps rise to extremes when fruit is trying to set, actual set can be inconsistent to somewhat on the poor side relatively speaking.
My northern border will be 350 ft of sweet edible shoot bamboo, 3-4" diameter x 30-40 ft tall,

They seem to have good shelf life. I see them sold in bulk in Chinese supermarkets. Submerged in water in 5 gallon plastic buckets. Where did you buy them? I should plant a few.

I should plant a few.I was going to plant a windbreak along the border anyways, and was offered cuttings. First I have to clear a 350 ft treeline full of Brazil Pepper and Earleaf acacia, and then plant cuttings in situ under drip irrigation this summer. I'm told there is a market, and why not grow something which can be harvested as a dual purpose planting? Hopefully I will see how it goes. If the propagation is successful, in a few years I'll be able to sell shoots/plants/cuttings.
another year of super heavy bloom on coconut cream, another year with 2 or so bb sized fruit when all is said and done.
