Yes, they do that sometimes....now, did you say the Carrie was flushing
new leaves while holding fruit? If so, that kind of vigor works well for
desperate mango lovers like yourself, because you can get growth during
fruit ripening season. If it had no growth and you had to wait till the fruit
had all been picked (like my Keitt, Kent, Glenn and others) it can be a disaster
to let fruit stay on young trees as you are lucky to maybe get one flush in
before the cold sets in....
so...maybe you'll be OK, sailor man!
