Thanks Robert:) There is only 5 mango left on the mango tree. 37C is too hot...When I came back home, I saw burned leaves. I got the lychee from floraexotica for only 40$. It is a sweetheart variety. I really don't know about pollination. I'll have to look. I think there are male and female flowers.
Kevin, I'll just need to put them in shade for about 2 weeks before in full sun to avoid burn? Thanks for the tips also I'll carefully look if that happens.
Thanks Harry I'm the only growing those things in Quebec that I know also. There might be some other people out there thought.
I'm not a huge fan of apples, but has for maple syrup that's another thing This is so tasty especially maple syrup butter on toasts I don't know if you get a good supply in US? Not corn syrup I hope! In how many months should my mangoes be ripe?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Update on my tropical fruit trees in Canada!
« on: October 20, 2012, 11:07:35 AM »
Hi guys! Unfortunately we are at the point where the temperature in Canada is starting to be cold. We already had two frosts. We also get tons of rain. It gives me to the point that all my plants are inside and I wanted to show you a update. I did have some problems...Temperature in the grow room was too high, it got the 37 celsisus or 97 farenheit one day. I had to open my garage door to about 1 inch to cool the room down. I also had some weird disease on my mango. We still don't really know what it is ,but Harry says that it my be due to cold and the variation of temperatures. I just got a call from my gaden center and they say that it is also. Even wth those problems my plants are doing wonderful under my lights!
Here's some pictures
My pickering mango just finished to flower and it is now flushing! I didn't let it hold fruit.
My lychee is also flushing. It really surprise me, because the leaves are really big 5-6 inches long. A lot longer than the previous flush outside.
Even of my carrie mango have cold damage which we think. The mangoes are developping well and it is also flushing were it was pug and at other places.
Mango are not quite ripe yet. They are only 4 inches long. How much will it take from here to ripen?
I also added some warm white cfls. This was a advice of Coplanut. To be more precise I added 12 23w cfls on each sides.
Thanks!

It could have. It might be the variation from outdoors to indoors?

You think it is caused by too much temperature variation?

Not really, it have been indoors for about a month. I think the lowest temperature it have been through was 6 degrees celsius. the humidity is also pretty low, les than 50%.

Hi guys . I might be annoying, but I still have the same problem on my mango tree, but it got worse. I really don't know what to do...Should I prune it back? I would like to keep the fruits!
Here's some pictures:
This one of the leaves that are affected. It should not be sunburn since it is a the bottom. All my other trees are looking great. The mango tree who is affected is also flushing where it was pug.
It looks like it is only affected in the back. I have about 20 leaves or more like that.

Really suggest you to contact floraexotica. It's where I order all my tropical trees including my pickering mango which was from him. He has really good prices, but I don't know about shipping I local pick-up because he's located in Montreal.

« on: October 04, 2012, 07:12:59 PM »
No, but if you want them to fruit I strongly suggest.
Also, the northest part of Quebec is a lot lower than zone 5. Look at this map:
http://www.veseys.com/ca/en/images/articles/learn/reference/hardinesszones/ontario-east.gif
Only a really little portion of Quebec is zone 5b.

Here's some pictures of a leaf.
It is burned, but I can really see some little black spot. They are really small. Some top leaves also look super healthy.

Some at the bottom and some also on top. Not a lot of leaves are affected, maybye 5-7 leaves. No problem with the other plants in the grow room. Only with the lychee today which lost 2 leaves due to the hot temperatures, but nothing like the mango tree, which has leaves with black spots that turns crips brown. I run the lights for 12 hours a day. The room is 6'8'' by 8' and the top touches about 10'.
How far your lights were?
I'll post pictures tomorrow. I opened my grow room and opened my garage door about 2'', so it should cool down.

« on: October 01, 2012, 08:16:53 PM »
You might be right, but lycheeluva's mango tree flowered at the same time as the Mahachanok mango of Harry's. It really depends. One of my mangoes flowered in June-July and the other one in August-September.

Hey feistywidjet! I'm growing a few tropicals in zone 5b in Canada and I have two mangoes fruiting now. One with five mangoes. If you grow tropical fruits in colder climates you might need supplement lighting in winter like metal halide grow light or some cfls. You could also put some cfls over you plants next to a window like Bobbyjo who is also in Canada. So yes it is possible!

« on: October 01, 2012, 07:16:59 PM »
I think for this time that they look like vegetative growth to me also. I guess flowering occured due to our cold nights during September and August. When mango is potted it can also bloom off season.

What I don't understand is that it doesn't affect the top leaves? I guess it is not due to the light to be too close. The temperature went up to 36C and I guess it cooked the leaves. What should I do to reduce heat?

They are leaves that started to burn, the one I showed everybody. The back turned crispy brown and top also. I guess it is due to excessive heat.
