Last season my Cogshall coughed up about 100 mangoes.  First time it ever produced such a bounty.  It's a mature tree, inground for about 6 or 7 years now, and about 15 feet tall.  This season. . .not one pannicle produced.  In mid July last season I did cut her back about three feet all around since it was getting a bit big for where it was planted.  Could this be the reason for such a drop off in production?  Is the Cogshall susceptible to alternate bearing fruit production? 

I sent a soil sample to UF in Gainesville last week.  Results came back today and I'm very surprised at the readings. . .unless I'm misinterpreting things.
A little background:  the soil was taken from about 8 different locations around the mango tree, at the surface and a maybe a few inches below.  The tree in question is a Cogshall, inground for about 7 years now.  Well established.  Never water it.  Reached about 18'.  After harvesting the last of the mangoes two weeks ago, (around 100), I trimmed the tree back.  Took about 4 feet off the top branches and tipped all around the tree.  Flushing like crazy right now.  Don't know if it's related, but many of the fruits suffered jelly seed this season, and last summer, too.
My fertilizer routine:  after harvest I sprinkle some 8-3-9 with minors around the tree.  Follow up with a second feeding around a month later.  Starting in September I'll feed some 0-0-50 and again in October.  When I see the leaves looking like they are hungry for some minors and/or iron, I'll give the tree some Southern Ag Chelated Liquid Iron and some Citrus Nutritional.  Sometimes a drench, other times a foliar feeding.  That's the extent of it.
But now this soil analysis comes in and everything seems to be off the charts high.  Hoping some experienced eyes can take a look and offer some feedback. . .but first I need to figure out how to attach a PDF to my post.

A tale of two mangoes.  My Cogshall is about 7 years in the ground.  Spotty producer over the years, but this season it outdid itself.  Probably around 120 mangoes.
Delicious, but as has been discussed here previously, they are prone to internal breakdown and jelly seed.  Picking them off the tree earlier than I have previously helped somewhat.  But still, many of the fruits exhibited the problem.  It's about 18 feet tall and has been pretty much bullet proof as far as fungus is concerned.  But I think I need to yank her.  If I do, I'm thinking Sweet Tart.  Can I keep the ST at around 15 feet or so?

As for my Pickering, I transplanted it last May from a 3 gallon pot.  She's been flushing consistently since.  Now about 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide.  There's one branch that is only about 15 inches off the ground.  Should this be cut off at the trunk?  It's probably too low to the ground for carrying any fruit, but I figure for now the leaves are absorbing the sunlight and feeding the tree.  Too soon to tip the other branches?

I planted this Pickering from a 3 gallon pot last May, so its been in the ground for a year.  It has had its 3rd flush since, the most recent one being about 6 weeks ago.  It stands 3 feet tall and about 2.5' at its widest.  I know this tree is a dwarf, so I'm wondering if tipping it now is a good idea?  Is tipping it anytime necessay or even a good idea, considering the Pickering's propensity for remaining small and bushy?  Just looking to maximize fruit production in the future.

Transplanted in May from a 3 gallon pot.  It's had two growth flushes this summer and looks pretty good.  Lately, though, I see some of the branches as somewhat lanky.  I don't plan on letting it fruit next summer.  So, do you think I should nip her here and there to promote lateral growth?

Quite a few of the mangoes, (Cogshalls), this season have been ripening unevenly.  Tops are soft, bottoms are firm.  The exterior is a combo of red, yellow, and green.  Haven't had this issue previously.  Any particular reason this occurs?

I've been watching a large Cogshall mango as it grew to maturity on my tree.  Clearly the largest fruit of the season for me, it weighed in at 1 pound, 8 ounces when I picked it.  The shoulder was firm and red, the bottom was yellow and softer, with the rest of the fruit being green.
Cutting it open revealed the same.  The red section was firm and bitter while the yellow area was overripe.  What caught my attention was the seed, which had started to sprout roots.  Not having seen this before, I'm more curious than concerned.  What was up with this mango?

My Cogshall has been inground for about 6 years, transplanted from a 3 gallon pot.  For the first two years it produced no fruit, in part because I wanted it to grow and I fed it accordingly.  Two years ago I pulled my first 9 mangoes off the tree.  Hallelujah!  Visions of a bumper crop in my head for the next season.  Well, the next season was a dud: 2 fruits.  Finally, last summer was an awakening, with 70 mangoes to harvest.
This season, so far at least, looks like another dud.  Today I counted but 15 pannicles on the tree, with a few branches looking like they are ready to push out some more.  But driving around my neighborhood I am seeing mango tree after mango tree covered with flowers already.
To my knowledge, the Cogshall is not a shy bearer.  The tree is in sunlight almost all day.  Last year I fed it once a month with some 8-3-9,  and sprayed some minors on the tree monthly.  Did this from about March through September.  In October and November I sprinkled it with some 0-0-50.  I haven't fed it since.
I've attached some photos which show the few pannicles, but also shows a few of the pannicles that either died shortly after opening or are stunted.
Any ideas?  Thank you.

My Cogshall is loaded with 70 mangoes.  I'm watching them fill out nicely, blushing red, while I dream of a June filled with sweet and juicy fruits.  Alas, it may not be.  Just now saw this mango on the ground.  My first thought was a squirrel.  But by the tooth/beak pattern in the fruit, I'm thinking Blue Jay, especially since there are a pair of them looking down on me as we speak.  Am I doomed, now that they have acquired a taste?  When can/should I pick the mangoes.  They look close to being ready, but it seems awful early in the season for Cogshalls. 
PS:  that mango sure does look juicy! 

My Cogshall, having its best season to date, is still dropping fruit.  I'll see some yellowing occur near the stem and I know that fruit is history. 
Many of the mangoes are about the size of a small fist and are taking on a red blush.  I would think by now that they would be past the danger stage and would be mine for the picking in about a month or so.  Is it unusual for the tree to be dropping 3 or 4 fruits daily that have reached that size? 

I've been pretty fortunate with the white fly problem here in central Broward County.  Haven't seen much of them for over a year.  But I've noticed these past few days my mango tree has become quite popular with them.  It's loaded down with golf ball size mangoes right now.  How best to get the situation under control?

My Cogshall is off to what appears to be a bumper crop. . .finally.  But you can see it is somewhat squat and bushy.  When some of those mangoes on the lower branches begin to grow, they are going to be on the ground.  Easy targets for the lawn guy, ants and other insects, and squirrels, possums, raccoons, and rats.
I know I can't keep my crop 100% safe, but I at least want to keep the mangoes off the ground.  What are you doing in this regard?
