Do any of those Mallika have a "star" patterned wound (open wound) in the black/rotting area?No stars that I recall. All the infected fruit were bagged and went out with the trash this AM.
Correct. Thanks.How do you guys rate Sunrise mango still have a chance to dig it up!On both occasions when I tasted Sunrise at the F&S park it was very good but not as good as Edward or Mallika. I am not sure about its productivity.

You're likely thinking of the Merritt Island Sunset, which the Fruit & Spice Park has a tree of, rather than Sunrise which is a new Zill-mango.

DO they sell grafted trees, what did you get where you happy with what you got?
I though we weren't supposed to fertilize at all during fruiting...?Not much, but the trees do need trace elements and some potassium for the fruit. No nitrogen needed since the plants conserve it. Any extra nitrogen tends to make the trees vegetatively flush with adverse consequences for the harvest.
0-3-16, or 0-0-16, with 4% Magnesium and a full complement of micronutrients; also give them Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate, at at least 1/5 the volume of the mixed fertilizer applied, every time.My soil is mulched but otherwise dry, sandy and poor. I'm not sure about the pH. I am using some Harrell's 0-0-5 with micronutrients now.
