Gary,

You might want to go ahead and Pot that Pickering or relocate it like you suggested.... Here is a picture from Top Tropical's 10 year old Pickering....Yeah lol http://toptropicals.com/pics/garden/11/olymp/6/P6156565.jpg

All this to talk about flowering and budding....breaks my heart

I hope when my my trees arrive from T.T. from their cross country journey of 5-6 days, that they will be in great condition and not half dead... The Japanese Maples I had shipped to me last year arrived completley Dormant...Hopefully thats not the case here....I want at least 1 mango off of one these 7g trees this year!!!!

Yeah,

They will be shipping out ground around  the first of Mar, should Arrive Sat on the 8th.

I'm extremely scared on what condition the trees will be in after a week of travel. Hopefully all trees are healthy.

Too bad this wasnt on a Weekend...i could never steal away a Friday, unless it was Federal Holiday.

Yep lol, But if you follow that street down the side yard i showed you on my property..... in about 100 feet you hit the Temecula city sign right at the start of the Cul de sac..

No one knows Murrieta, most seem to have heard of Wine Country Temecula....so I just say Temecula

I updated my order from Top Tropicals because they got some bigger sizes and I also added 2 new trees that will be going to my Mother in Laws because of space. new list**

LZ-3 gallon
Pina Colada- 3 gallon
Coconut Cream -3 gallon
Sweet tart- ***upgraded to 7 gallon
Carrie- 7 gallon
Malika- ***Upgraded 7 gallon

New Comers thanks to Mango Fang and JF
***Nam Doc Mai- 7 gallon going to Moms Dukes
***The Infamous Edward- 7 gallon

Shipment set to arrive 8th of February because of I'm shipping out for a couple of weeks this month in the Navy... In the mean time... I will be composting the crap out of this Clay and mixing lots of organic goodies in the dirt for all my tree  locations..... Mango Gods of Middle earth... Please give me but just a few Mangos this year off My 7 Gallon Babies..Let me taste the greatness of the Sweet Tart and Carrie...That is all... Amen.

Gary,

How do you protect the trees from Frost once they reach a good size like many of your more mature trees?

off topic

Whats the deal

Can anyone tell me how does the Lamb Hass and little Cado compare to the Hass?

the comments of the LZ is what made me put this tree on my number 1 list of the trees i purchased yesterday at Top Tropicals...

"Soul smashing"  I love the feedback that yall bring to the forums....please keep it coming for the mango noobs such as myself.

I hope we get more this weekend as well.... I planted about 10 Hybrid Tea roses, 5 Floribundas, 3 grandifloras, and 8 Standard tree roses of differerent varieties that all could use a heavy soaking....Not to mention almost every Fruit tree i have is ether budding or blossoming and could also use some water besides whats coming from my poorly set up irrigation system.

Will do Gary,

I have T.T. set to ship them out at the end of Feb. Partly because i will be out to sea early Feb for 3 weeks for ship qualifications ,  also I dont trust my wife to correctly Pot my babies with the perfect amount of Kellogs Compost, Peat, and Organic Soil lol. I definately dont trust her to garage them if we hit a cold spike during February lol

Well I'm guessing 2-3 years before i get some ok fruit from these young 3 gallon trees.... Carrie was the only 7 gallon they had.... Hopefully i get to taste that Unique piney sweet flavor that i keep hearing about soon!
