My little sweetheart lychee tree second year in the ground. Fruiting again. Wish i would have planted this variety years ago instead of my maurituis.





Here's my mauritius tree

Here's an update on my mango combo plantings for 2016. All trees are on Florida's rootstocks BTW.
Hope y'all enjoy the photos.

Hey Max, do you have an update of your tree? I was wondering how your tree produces from year to year. With so many different varieties on one tree, I'm wondering about the bearing habit. Are some varieties alternate bearing or do you typically get fruit from the majority of varieties from year to year? Have you had any varieties die back? Thanks Max!

Simon

The mine scaffold trunks  is slowly dying from insects/diseases. Despite the terrible condition its in, it's still fruiting a decent crop. Majority of the tree fruiting this year is the green mangos. Never skip fruiting since grafted. Also fruiting this year are Okrung, PSM, Glenn, Julie, Kesar, Bailey marvel, Lemon Zest, NDM, Lancetilla, Mallika, Carrie and Cowasjee Patel X Pirie. Kiett was fruiting too, but all of a sudden the entire graft died. Cushman starting to have die back too. Both were grafted on the more severely damage part of the tree. No fruit on Alphonso, ice cream(purposely remove) Edward, Amrapili(purposely removed), Duncan, Valencia Pride, Ah Ping, ST MAUI.  All grafts are very short, meaning haven't get to grow much due to fruiting. Only graft that realy took off was Okrung and PPK(some idiot chopped off entire graft).

Sorry, I'm having trouble uploading photos. If I can figure out how, will post pics later.

UPDATE on one of my Mauritius on longan graft. It's starting to push nicely. Im so excited!

Nothing since July

Stupid me, I accidentally pruned off my lychee graft when I was pruning my longan tree. Just when it was growing another flush too. Ouch!!!

Double rootsock Alphonso update. Pictures taken 10/1/15. I attempted to add a kesar graft a month ago, which failed. So, this time im trying to add a jumbo kesar.

Congrats JF!  What rootsock are your ilama's on?

Max

Sapote, thanks for comment and tip.

Simon, it was in a pot for about a year before I transplanted in the ground. Roots filled up the 2g pot very nicely. No signs of rootbound. So far as of today, both rootstocks and scion is growing pretty proportion to each other. See photos attached.



Johnny Eat Fruit, welcome to the mango world! Your ugly betty's very beautiful! :-)

This post is to keep track on progress of this tree that I started from scratch. Currently it's pushing new growth. I removed the flowers about a month ago. Usually, one would wait till fruit are about pea size to remove the flowers. I did not want to waste the time and energy of the tree so I cut it off when the flowers stop growing in size. To prevent it from blooming again, I watered it two to three times a week with diluted fish emulsion. Also, the night time temps was on my side, it didn't dip below in the 50's

Update a couple of photos on double rootstocks Alphonso. I recently grafted a keasar scion onto it. Hopefully I can have the king and queen together on one tree.

Wow! VERY nice looking crop JF! Oh, how I miss the taste of annonas. It's been so long.

Congratulations! How's the flavor like? From the one fruit that I got to taste off my potted hakip tree, I detected some would say that medicinal flavor. Did yours have that same flavor? I got to try two sweethearts off my little tree this year and it did not have that medicinal taste. So from my limited taste samples, I don't think their the same.  Although they do look very similar.

Thanks for reporting back on the fruit Xshen. So it turns out on the first fruit that i tried was picked too early.  It wasn't my over watering that cause the bland flavor. I've been feeding this tree monthly ever since it started blooming with eb stone's 0 10 10 bloombooster. Plus, a couple of months ago, i started giving it 0 0 50 straight potassium. So, the fruit should be really sweet.

Rilou, I was lucky that i started out with a taller tree. Otherwise, all my branches will be on the ground as well.

ScottR, the VP should have no problems with growth. The previous year it had ~16 large mangos and i still had to prune that monster back, and it's still fruiting for me this year. It's currently holding almost the same amount of fruit as last year. As for the coconut cream, I'm planning to put it on a steroid program to get it back to full recovery.
