Pickering is a great tasting mango so give it another try.

I'm in 8A and my Pickering stays in an unheated but attached garage from late October through April. This year it bloomed and set fruit while still in the garage.

It is currently in a 7 gal container with a relatively fast draining mix.  I think it helps keeping it in a smaller container so there is not much excess water, but you have to monitor and water more regularly. I was watering it twice a day during the hottest part of the summer. In the garage I water it maybe once a week.

Nothing has touched them, my other Sugar Apples or Atemoya yet, but they seem to be getting into everything else. From ants beetles, rats, squirrel, possum and whatever else that comes at night. Hope they don't develop a taste for it. Its been difficult protecting my Figs and Jujubes this year.

What critter issues are you having?

My results have been mixed as well.

I have noticed that they seem to germinate better outside in the shade.

Also, a lot of rain seems to help.

I recently threw a bunch of 2 yr old big red seeds and only one sprouted after 2 months or so.

I'm growing a Mango tree for the first time and have a question regarding the flowers.

I noticed that some parts of the flower panicle are turning black. Do I need to be concerned about it?

Do I need to apply anything to give it the best chance of producing a fruit? I'll be happy with a single.

This is a Pickering and I moved it out of the garage about 10 days ago. Been in the garage since late October.

Thank you in advance.

The sampler arrived in two days with extras!

I have grown several Jabo's for 5yrs and this is the first time I got to try them!

Really enjoyed them all! Thank you FLnative!

In the northern hemisphere?

I am growing one in a container that will need to come in the garage in November to stay there till April.

If they only flower/fruit in the fall and ripen over winter in the garage the fruit quality will not be good.

Thanks in advance.

Acidus on acidus grafts quite easily.

My Ruby Supreme. Plant came from Pine Island Nursery.

I am growing it in a container and out in the sun 7 months of the year.

This container grown Cherimoya is about 4yrs old. Its grafted with several Dr. White scion.

I plan to keep it in a container indefinitely as I cannot grow it outside in my climate. It stays in my garage for about 5 months out of the year.

My question is concerning pruning the 3 branches indicated. Last year when I pruned it, it did not branch out as expected. It just halted growth. In late winter when I pruned it, it put out shoots just below the cut without difficulty.

Is this how Cherimoya's respond to pruning this time of the year? Should I prune about a foot now and then prune again shorter in late winter?(Currently it stands about 6ft tall from the bottom of the container)

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

I have successfully grafted 2-3 mm diameter scion.

I recently grafted using a wedge graft and thin scions. Mostly around 2mm thick. They are beginning to push now.

Use a sharp razor blade or grafting knife to make the cuts.
