Here's my new Sasa and Jose Pabon.. Arrived beautifully and in better condition than we both thought.

Why don't you just use Nature's Miracle Grow? Just pee on your trees. It's free, and at my age I have plenty to use, and all my citrus and other fruit trees are quite happy and growing nicely. (Google it!) My second choice would be manure tea which I used successfully in growing apples in NC. It's hard to get the soil out of balance when you use natural fertilization.
you dont have to brew just cover around the base, the molasses should be mix with water, about a cup per 5 gallons, you can over do it if you want (1 cup per gallon) and you'll see minor effects in the leaves but it balances itself out. mangos will be sweet.I harvest my own worm castings and add that as well. How would I go about adding azomite topically? just sprinkle like fertilizer?
Do you brew a worm casting tea or just sprinkle castings on the ground?
I have a bag of worm castings and mollasis, I used to brew worm tea for some other projects.

Miracle grow puts too many salts in the soil, it will make your tree produce great and grow nice but after a couple harvest it will start declining and be more susceptible to diseases.
Once I learned this method... I don't understand why you would want to "peal" a mango.

AWESOME!!! What was his take on the durian?? My sons 3, and has a hard time with the frozen ones we get here. In his defense he'll eat fish roe and other stinky stuff.
Ha, He took a big bite and started crying. I think if it would have started with a small amount he would have been ok. I got him to try another a couple days later. He didn't cry but I don't think he'll be eating them again for a while.
Tried 2 more Mulberries yesterday... Both of them were Morus Albas.... "Persian White" and "White Pakistan" or White Shatoot.
White Persian is a terrible bland tasting berry.....Meanwhile the White Pakistan is a popping incredibly crisp vanilla sweet berry...Ultra sweet...Probably should have bought it instead of the Dark Pakistan...
I only use a vegetable peeler and a knife on a mango.
Peel the entire mango with the peeler, cut a flat section off that I think is perpendicular to the seed, roll it over on the flat, cut down the sides parallel to the seed. Then you have two meaty pieces to cut into chunks.

Congratulations! How was the flavour?
Not worth the wait, which was around 10 years from seed...
A very thin shell of juicy tart stuff. Maybe selected cultivars are much better than seedlings?

Do a forum search and you will find Cangrejo's 12 year old mamoncillo seedling from a P.R.
It flowers heavily every year but no fruit set
Thanks, saw that thread. Definitely want to get a grafted hermaphrodite. I saw some on eBay, but they are all seedlings. Thanks for your suggestion to contact TT, fingers crossed.
That would suck. I'll reach out to him as well.
I would not rely on TT for this. You are asking for a lot of time and a large tree later to find out you got , well, i will say "the wrong thing".
Maybe reach out to Noel, FloridaGreenMan for assistance in PR.
