What is the growth habit of m4?
Quote from: gozp on May 29, 2017, 01:42:55 PMWhat is the growth habit of m4?As stated in this and other posts, it was just released less than 6 months ago and no grafted trees were in existence prior to observe.
No. Normal, spreading canopy, medium, or less, vigor. This does not mean that it will necessarily be like that grafted onto Turpentine.
I saw a mango labeled e8 for sale at a local nursery recentlyDidn't know what it was and passedShould I have bought it
Lol, look at their spelling of Mahachanok.
Is M-4 as susceptible to anthracnose as Coconut Cream or more like Keitt?

I have been growing it in West Boynton Beach since 2011 and no anthracnose issues.As has been repeated, M4 is a new release and no grafted trees have been observed. A mother seedling tree is not a good overall guide to what a grafted tree will do.

I recall hearing that M-4 is no longer propagated by Zills HPP.
Mango trees grow much slower in SoCal compared to south Florida...but M-4 is ridiculously sad on turpentine rootstock. Zero growth in 1 year... Not even 1 bud. I saw my friends trees as well and they were the same or worse (dead from dieback).I recall hearing that M-4 is no longer propagated by Zills HPP. So I guess our next goal is to see how M-4 does on Manila rootstock.
