Wasn’t expecting anything else to flower but seen my Venus flowering again. Hoping these panicles don’t get destroyed by powdery mildew like all the flowers before

Here’s a picture of my small DOT graft. It bloomed this year and is holding small fruit. The graft is very small so I’ll probably remove all the fruit so the graft doesn’t die back.


Simon

That’s awesome!! Love your projects simon 😁

Thanks Frank, I might have to do that if my new Dot can't prove its self in our local environment. What variety is HK?

Bill

Dwarf cavendish? They are ideal for pots.

Yes, I also have dwarf cavendish in a pot.. as a matter of fact all my bananas in my collection are in pots and do well as long as they’re watered and fertilized.. my truly tiny didn’t start flowering until I gave it high  potassium fertilizer.

You can lop it off now. It looks like it is pushing flowers though.

Thank you Jeff! Funny I thought the same thing at first but I gave the tree a major prune & wasn’t expecting it to flower, just send out vegetative growth.

« on: March 04, 2018, 11:50:16 AM »


Rapoza scion seems to have taken and already flushed.. is it too early to cut off the branch I side cleft grafted onto? Going to try and use the piece I cut off as more budwood for grafting as it looks like the perfect stage to take for grafting.. right?

Spoke to someone at Zills and was told that they are going to release a mango by the name of Orange Sorbet. Is this totally different than Orange Sherbet?

No it’s the exact same. (G-32, Orange Sherbet, Orange Sorbet)

Sad that someone would be that malicious... (when I 1st seen the trees I was like- 😱😫😢... but now thinking about it, I know it always comes back to that person) I know I’m pretty pissed & heated seeing that happen so I could imagine the owner of the orchard... tho you’re question is on point- I wonder what happened to anger someone to do that to that person??

By the way, I am looking forward to grafting during more normal grafting period this year.  I have a Lancentilla I cut back last year that has given me several sites to graft on to, I decided to top work and change the variety because other than its fruit size I was not liking the Lancentilla much.

Now the winter Olympics are over, the the games begin!!!

Let me know when 😁

Plant a sweet tart and you’ll thank me later...

I 2nd this!! Highly recommend SweetTart!


Fruit Punch- 1st few I had were washed out & no flavor. Then I had 1 that blew me away & totally changed my opinion on it.
Peach Cobbler/O2- Can’t comment at this time,yet to try. (Been on my hit list since last mango season)
Pineapple Pleasure- agree flavor is good to really good but not excellent..
Cotton Candy- Same as Peach Cobbler
Mahachanok- unfortunately this was my biggest disappointment last season after reading reviews here on the forum... did not like the taste at all but I will try & get a better evaluation this season.
Nam Doc Mai- very delicious, would rate it really good

According to Ms Marlys in her tour of her mango farm, her’s out in Loxahatchee (where it’s more humid & less air circulation) has not yet set fruit in the years in the ground & also highly susceptible to anthracnose & scale. (Which her’s had according to Chris’ Video of her yard.)
