The ones sold by fairchild this year were grafted, likely onto turpentine mango root stock.  I would imagine they were from a decent tree.

Im putting GRO POWER AVO/CITRUS 8-6-8 on my avocados and cherimoyas.  I will give a small dose to the mangos too and see if they will flush now with the summer heat and some food.

The "P", middle one, is to high if you don't want blooms. Try something like 10-0-9 or anything high in "N" and low in "P"

In florida if you give mangoes to much nitrogen they will often push leaves and not flower. You could try giving them higher nitrogen

Sharkman, thanks for the information! I recall hearing or reading about this somewhere else. I guess the mulch is such a good insulator that it blocks the suns rays from hitting the soil and warming it in the daytime. The best practice would probably be to rake away the leaves in the morning so that the sun can warm the soil and then rake back the mulch at night to hold in the heat. I believe this will probably be too much work for most gardeners so if one has to pick whether or not to use mulch, I would still recommend mulching.

I guess if one were growing in the coldest marginal areas for mango, it would be best practice to clear the mulch on mornings where extreme cold is anticipated that night or the following morning as long as they remember to rake back the insulating mulch that evening. Thanks again for that useful information!



Simon


You don't want to rake it back because it will only hold the heat in for the roots, you need it to release the heat so it will create a mico climate as the heat rises around the tree. Only keeping the roots warm will not help the main body of the plant when it is very cold.

i am from San Diego originally and am now in Florida in the Mango tree industry and this a 2 cents you may want to evaluate. Chris Rollins told me about issues with mulching in winter, you guys are really dry in summer and need mulch to keep in water but in winter mulched trees get more cold damage due to mulch insulating them from the heat escaping the ground at night and the ground warming during the day. In FL non mulched trees fair better on cold nights than mulched trees.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Mango tree bacterial black spot
« on: June 04, 2017, 05:35:09 PM »
I was just at Home depot and some of theirs had some BBS. I think if you buy a mango from any place, even if it has no spots when you get it (small nursery's and back yard growers will just select trees that don't show it at the time) it likely carries it maybe just not showing it. I have seen it at every grower and it is very common everywhere they grow. The main problem is you don't know if you have the bad kind or the  not so bad kind. Just something we are going to have to learn to live with and hopefully find something to keep it under control.
