Serious cold snap coming and possible to lose the crop if already flowering......need to cover and heat if temps get really cold

Those who live in central Florida may have better yields than those in south Florida since we will have cooler temps this winter?

What's wrong with expecting good customer service? If anyone feels like they are an inconvenience to staff (including staff with their eyes stuck on their phone) then there may be a problem that needs to be addressed.  I sure wouldn't want disinterested employees working for me.

Yeah Ed, I wouldn't let that Pickering hold any fruit.  I made the mistake of that and it set the tree back A LOT......patience grasshopper, you don't have to worry about cold so let the tree get bigger before letting it hold fruit

Spot on Dee.....NDM are really good but I like a more complex mango...and you are right, you can score points with the neighbors by giving them some fruit and NDM def a lot better than the store bought junk
