lol thanks for the info..
i just remembered I have a Tice tree planted out!
that makes 9 varieties.
(i've compared fruits and foliage from both trees, and looks like PIN has exact same one as the Green, labeled as Australian)
Uau! The fruits appears to be big! 3 to 4 cm in diameter, maybe?
Grimal typically has larger fruit than Sabara (if properly grown)...I have not measured, but I think 3-4cm is close....
Paulista and coronata can be larger for sure.
the flavor of Grimal is unique...having a concord grape taste IMO.
Oh the wonders of having hair, I lost half mine when I was 18, so all I can do is the 'ol friar tuck lol.
The small bush photo above is from my stash I scored last night. A Grimal, yellow, and door prize jabo.
How and should I get rid of/control these? Big legged plant bugs, leaf leg plant bugs, stink bugs?
Jeff, Papi and Small are two different cultivars I believe.
Doesnt attain much color. Stays basically green, just lightens in color with an slight greenish yellow blush.
Of the grafted trees that have been sold and in growers' collection, i wish people would not start looking for production at this age. The tree is less than 3 years old, please just let it grow and do its thing. I have seen varying levels of production from the mother tree but that is not a good comparison.
What is C9 cloth? Googling it seems to get me sportwear.
My mangoes are flowering and setting fruit, and are now too large to cover. I was really hoping for a good crop this year.

Venus, forecasting 33 for Friday night.
Does Ensey's sell plants or only fruit? I am getting that all too familiar itch to expand the collection (Not to be confused with the itch that plagues Sheehan)
Dwarf??? you may have the wrong variety, they are known to have one of the largest leaves of any banana plant. My Rajapuri is as tall as Goldfinger.
I read somewhere of a loose/guesstimate of something like this "This website advises applying one fistful of 0 - 0 - 50 fertilizer for every inch of trunk width measured one foot above the ground. " But, it sounds a bit too much IMHO...so I think I will put about 2 cups on my soon to be 7 year old trees...
Is now the time to add 0-0-50 fertilizer to my blooming and almost blooming mango trees? Or should I wait till Feb.?
Also I called a local nursery and they carry High Yield 0-0-60...Can I sue this instead or is that completely different?
Thanks in advance...appreciate any tips and advise on how much to apply as well.
