Apparently there is a warmer than usual El Niņo brewing in the Pacific. They are naming it Bruce Lee BTW. They say that this means the SE United States will have a colder than usual winter. I have 12 mango trees that are not a year old so this will be their first winter. I also have several avocado, nasberry, and a lychee that are going to experience their first winter too. Last year I planted my first trees and I lost half of them in the winter. I did learn something from that experience and so this year I put my trees in the ground somewhat strategically. I have some other ideas that I'm going to try. I'd like to know what advise does everyone else have about protecting trees from frosty weather and is anyone else worried about El Niņo? Here is a link to the article about Bruce Lee. http://www.foxnews.com/weather/2015/08/14/forecasters-warn-this-winter-el-nino-could-be-historically-strong/?intcmp=hplnws

  I bought these at Walmart. The sign on the bin said Ataulfo. The Ataulfos I've seen before are all yellow . These are red and green, no yellow on them. Will they yellow as they ripen or were these just mislabeled? If they aren't Ataulfos what could they be? Are they Tommy Atkins? They aren't very big.
