Thank you very much Simon.
Unfortunately the kinds I have most of them the info is limited. I guess I need to experiment! :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: My "4 in 1" (7 in 1) Mango tree

beautiful girls Simon. :)
Is there a list somewhere that groups the mangoes by vigor and growth?
I have a Carrie that is doing well, and 2 1/2 years on the ground and was thinking to graft Nan Doc Mai to it. but I also have 6 month to one year old  planted trees, currently I have: Carrie, Lemon Zest, Valencia Pride, Malika, Kesar  and Beverly. I also have in the ground but struggling: Coco Nut Cream, Pina Colada, and Fruit Punch and on 25 gal pots I have  Southern Blush and Raposa.

I have ordered Nan Doc Mai, Jumbo Kesar, Super Julie and Maha Chanok scion wood that I want to graft to any of those trees or graft into seedlings I have in pots, the only problem is that I don't have any more room to plant them in the ground and would have to stay in large pots :(
any suggestions how to pair them up? Any advised its greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced everyone!

Too bad. I will see what I can do to extend the life of the tree. But it sound like it has a dead sentence. :(

But you said there is no cure for fireblight, the branch that got black was dead. All the leaves fell off it and it looked bad. so, I assume that if it continues to spread it will eventually kill the whole tree. I guess I need to start reading about it . :) Thanks!

Thanks, even though is bad news.
I ordered Argifos from Amazon yesterday. I will probably get it tomorrow. Should I use it on the pear tree anyway? It just started to break buds so I don't know if it is hopeless at this time.
Its so sad to see your trees die.

Thanks, for the suggestions.
Does it comes with an expiration date?
So I assume it can be use on other trees? I have a pear tree that has started to get some branches affected by some black disease as well. I had to cut one of the branches way down to stop the spreading to the whole tree. And had to pug one of my mangoes from what it seems the same problem in the process to save the ice cream tree I lost my LZ graft. :(

Where can I get  Abound at a reasonable price? all I see in the internet is one gallon varying from $250 plus!
Is there a way I can get a pint or less I only have a few trees and don't want to spend all that money on a gallon that may expire before I can use it all.
Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks I liked it because it gives you illustrations that makes it that much easier to understand.

Thanks for your response.
The tree with the healthier leaves its a Carrie, it is also the one with the close ups for new growth. The other one is a Coconut cream to whom I accidentally grafted a Lemon zest branch. The graft seems to be doing ok, but I am still wondering of I should just remove it or let it be. I am hesitant because its the only graft that has taken out of about 20 tries on other trees. What is your advise?
By the way, something just pop in my head. Could it be that my grafts didn't take because I wasn't putting it with the correct family tree? Does it matter if I tried to graft an Indian tree to one from another region? To me this is all very new and I am trying to learn. There is a lot of information here on the forum but it starts with something and then it moves in a different direction and eventually I lose track of were I was going.
I also have other mangoes. I have a Pina Colada that hasn't grown much in the last 2 years, but is still alive.  a Fruit punch that I almost lost, but cut to about 20" down and its holding on with new growth. A Kesar that I planted  a few months back and looks ok and, a Valencia Pride planted also a few months back and doing ok. I also have a Raposa and Southern Blush in a 15 gal pots that seem to be doing ok. and a Beverly that I still need to transplant but its ok so far. a bunch of VP seedlings and a few other that I planted from local fruit sales. My yards has only room for about 4 more trees in the ground so I am trying to learn and see what will be my better options. Any advise its greatly appreciate. :)

Tropical Fruit Discussion / What is happening to my mangoes?
« on: January 05, 2018, 06:52:59 PM »
I noticed that the new growth its not pushing leaves and it seems like somethin is eating them, or the leaves are not developing and just going dark. On top of that my other mango started to get brown on the leaves and a whole branch went black, so I cut it off before it reached the main trunk.
I also noticed a gummy stuff coming out of the joins of the trunk. What can I do to stop this? Please help!

Hi! for those of you who live in Costa Rica I am going for a week, and I will be in the area of  Del estadio "Colleya Fonceca 100 mtros Oeste, in the Guadalupe area.
Can anyone suggest a decent place to stay that is safe for two traveling women where we can get our food if needed it.
I will also like to know if there are any areas where we can go and see the tropical fruit in season. Any suggestions will be appreciated I have never been there. :)
