That could be the result of insect damage but it is very minor.. at this point I wouldn’t worry about it. Better not to cut foliage in this case.
Same experience here. Except mine was from budwood that came from the mother tree. Someone must be color blind.

Great plants, fruit stand and really nice people!

If you are going to call others stupid, then you should really know the difference between "no" and "know," as well as "then" and "than." You should also probably know when you are spouting off to an administrator of the forum. It's kind of like sending your employer an email saying, "Hay boss, you is dum!"
That was written by your moderator, not myself. I did not have any typo's so you just called out your moderator for lacking proper use of the English language!
Lots of people eat mango skin. Pretty common among mango connoisseurs. Mango neophytes are generally averse to eating the skin though.
Till your dumb ass gets dermatitis and you then realize you cannot do it any more because your skin is cracking on the corner of your mouth and won't stop. I have seen so many stupid posts you make but this one may be tops for the dumb ass of the year award, which is a crowded field so congrats on the win. Gain some knowledge on this subject before you spew stupidity for others to see.
While out in the yard today I noticed a brown spot on the trunk of one of my Pickering trees. It's not got sap coming out, it's just a dry wound. I noticed the same thing on the trunks of some of my seedling carambola trees as well.
The Pickering is in a 7-gallon pot. We've had heavy rains recently and now it's been hot and full sun and humid, if that gives any help determining what might be going on.
Any clue as to what's caused this? And if so, what to do about it? It's one of my favorite trees and I don't want to lose it.
Has anyone ever compared the 2 regions? Since being transferred to Norfolk, Va in the Navy, I've started purchasing Mango Boxes from South Florida growers.
Although many factors come into play such as rain, fertilization, temperature, time of the season, age of the tree etc, so I've had Nam Doc Mai, Edward, Coconut Cream, Sweet tart, and Lemon zest from South Florida and not one mango from any of those boxes have even come close to ripened Nam Doc Mai from my old tree in California.... The Brix, flavor profile, texture... everything is just on a whole another level.
I've often heard on here of how bland Nam Doc Mai is... Well the ones from Florida were exactly that, extremely bland and washed out with mild sweetness... While the Nam Dac Mai from my tree in California was like pure sugar Candy in Mango form with extremely mild complexity of acidity and spice. That Nam Dac Mai has remained my baseline for Mangos as it's wiped the floor with everything I've had from Florida. Again might I add, this may be a bad season for Mangos, maybe too much rain, too early in the season, young tree, picked too green... lots of factors here folks...however so far it appears that California may have better growing conditions than South Florida to produce high quality Mangos.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I guess I'll be going with air-layered. Apparently lots of people have had a bad experience with lychee grown from seeds. I guess it's not like apples where there are 100 varieties that only taste a little bit different (sure, lots of people may have a favorite but if they ask for an apple they'd probably be just a fine with a red delicious as they would a honeycrisp).
I also don't want to put in the effort needed to grow a lychee tree from seed if the seedlings are that fragile. I've never had much success growing anything from seed, come to think of it...
Just bought some organic lychees in whole foods yesterday.
I paid about $8.99 for a quart of them. Not sure the actual weight.
BTW they were excellent.
