what kind of mangos?

 definitely add the Spirit of 76 and lancetilla mango is more of a novelty mango since they grow huge. Also Kent is a good addition as well as Valencia Pride or the Val-carrie and Edward and Duncan, these are must haves.

while adding my protective edging today, I had one of them crawling out of the ground and I also found these big white things looked like popcorn, possibly larvae eggs and I squished them. no they were not the grubs.

I am hoping joep450 does an angie review this year, but does anyone have any angie mangos for sale in the forseeable future? the mangos not the tree.

Everyone has been talking so good about the angie mango, But I see only a selected few have tried it.

Well after spraying sevin, I went back out there tonight and couldn't find any of them? so for now problem may be solved. I will follow up tomorrow night.

Cookie I am certain those bugs are eating the leaves, they are even chewing on the branches... i need to identify these buggers, I spray sevin to see if that might deter them on sunday night. I will follow up tonight for an update.

also they are sticking leaves together and planting their eggs/ larve. I pull the leaves apart and squish the furry white stuff with black pebbles inside of it.

I will take a picture of the suckers tonight since they only come out at night. they use to come out in the day, but they are smarter now.

what do you guys think of this one? the 1 acre one to get the 40w bulb or is the 1/2 acre bright enough? my yard is way smaller than 1/2 and acre.

well I am, these suckers are devouring my Kent mango tree which I severely cut in order for it to grow right. they are starting to attack my other mango trees new leaves. Need to know what to use to kill these suckers. I have tried malathion oil and nothing, they continue to eat hump and reproduce like its going out of style. anyone else have a problem with these guys go out at night and if you see small brown black beetles like the size of lady bugs they are it they jump and fly so they are hard to kill.

Looking for a solution will post pics of the damage tomorrow during daylight.

tree still available?
