ok ok,
i know I seem to jump the gun, pointing out what i think are flowers, as soon as growth tips appear to change...but I believe I am seeing the "twinkle in the node "of the branch, that is soon to give birth to my first blooms.
they look like a small mango inflorecense emerging. I shall post pics asap, with hopes of documenting what to look for when determining veg vs reproductive growth. Wish this detail was documented for each fruit I grow!!! I always love to watch for the earliest possible signs of flowers!!
