I don't think it has been so early the past two seasons but my neighbor's Black Kasturi mango is in bloom.https://www.miami.com/things-to-do-in-miami/these-mangoes-are-wild-but-maybe-you-can-tame-them-before-they-disappear-164667/
I haven't seen any flowers on my trees.Other than the known early varieties anyone seeing anything?

(and maybe copper)Copper for rain, sulfur for the cold weather..I’ve found OMRI approved copper, is there an organic sulfur spray that is known by you more experienced growers? (Perez mango has had issues setting fruit on the first bloom years prior, I’ve never started spraying with copper or sulfur but hear all the time about how much it helps with fruit set)
Quote from: sapote on November 29, 2018, 07:07:02 PM...Then how do mango trees in Vietnam, Thailand reliably fruit every year in almost constant warm climate?Not quite, end of year starting November and until Jan (even Feb now?), it's sweater weather for people over there. Not for us, obviously. That seems to be enough to trigger mango flowering. And best time to visit for occidental tourists who don't really care about tropical fruits.As for reliability, pro growers have chemical arsenals at their disposal.

3 dozen mango trees and only one has flowers: my least favorite, the lancetilla.What happened to south florida winters? It used to be that Nov 1 was the start of cool, open the windows and shut off the a/c weather.
I’ve been doing a review of our average recorded temperatures for the last several winters, and you’d be amazed how many days we’ve been above historical average. And not just a minor amount.....lots of days in the double digits above average.
Interesting. The last few winters have felt considerably warmer to me.Quote from: Squam256 on December 25, 2018, 11:57:00 AMI’ve been doing a review of our average recorded temperatures for the last several winters, and you’d be amazed how many days we’ve been above historical average.
