Looks beautiful.  I bet the food has been awesome.

I found eugenias to normally be pretty hardy and can handle some rough handling.  How were you removing the seedlings from the pot?  If you are trying to remove individual seedlings from a community container, I think that is asking for trouble. 

I normally allow the soil to dry out just a bit and then upend the container and carefully get the dirt/plants/roots out in one contained mass.  I will then gently jiggle the soil and carefully disentangle the roots from each other.  This allows for you to get as much of the roots, including any taproot, out of the container without too much or any damage.  This is an all or none kind of process.  After separating, I cover the roots with some soil while I'm getting the new containers ready.  I always jiggle the container with the roots and soil to try and get as much coverage as possible.  Then water the hell out of them.  This usually works very well for me.

Wow!  $12/lb. and that doesn't include shipping.

Beautiful tree.  I'm going to soon have the same issue in my yard with squirrels...though I wish it were with lychee trees!  Pop a couple of the little bastards and leave their corpses hanging in the tree.  May discourage others and the extra flies will help with pollination!!!  LOL!

Looks like scale to me.  Squash a couple and see if any moisture underneath.  If so, scale.  Scratch the bark with a fingernail.  If green appears, then the plant has a chance...I would put it under plastic to boost the humidity levels and hope that it recovers.

Just trying to market something "new"?

The trees look wonderful and very healthy.  Incredible.

Very nice!  Yard looks good.

A few years ago, there were some additions to the mango festival such as USDA tour, Fruit & Spice Park tour/dinner, and others that spanned 4-5 days.  Is anything like that happening again this year?

Also...what about the timing?  July 8 & 9.  Is there any conjecture on good availability?  Thanks

My Luc's Red has just bloomed at 21 months.  Pretty sure it won't hold fruit but thought it pretty cool that it already bloomed.

Using Chrome like always did.  Weird.

Bryan Brunner has shown mangosteen can be grafted onto a few different types of garcinia.  The problem is that while the graft is successful, the plants did not do well at all.  No harm in trying though...if you have great access to mature scions.  But if your access is limited, then try grafting onto a mangosteen seedling.  Anywhere in the world grafted mangosteens can be found, they are grafted onto mangosteen rootstock.  So there are obviously reasons they do so.  The grafted plants won't necessarily fruit any faster than a seedling plant, but these will be more of a compact plant.  Just my 2 cents.

Here's a video I posted back in 2014 if interested.  http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=11453.msg146861#msg146861
